Rich Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He’s like early Colo, no communication, some nice bits of football but ultimately too soft up against physical opponents. Barnes and Gray have both given him loads of trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Not settled in well enough to be the lead defender. Clark has been embarrassingly quiet; what happened to the guy that was always talking last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Clark was worse than him but he was fucking abject again today. Soft as shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Clark was worse than him but he was fucking abject again today. Soft as shite Trying to play Gray offside when Gray was running from his own half, was fantastic bit of boneheaded lunacy today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 It was appalling how he let the ball seemingly go out for the third goal. Put us in a really shit position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He's a good player but we've been noticeably worse in defence with him in the team tbh. This. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 looking like he could be the new Titus Bramble, looks tremendous then drops a clanger..... happening too often, was cruising through Southampton game and then dives in to give daft penalty away and those type of lapses are continuing.

The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Does he look a good defender? Someone that senses danger and stops it from developing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Does he look a good defender? Someone that senses danger and stops it from developing? Yes for a lot of the game. But then he goes missing or gets bossed on a header and it's in the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FustinoSolano Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Decent footballer but not a great defender if that makes sense? Still early days for him in a new league so has time to improve. Lascelles gets better with each game he misses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He really isn't good, he plays like he's 40 something, and he's not smart enough to be in the right position and can't run after a player once they are past him the amount of times players went through on goal once he was back in defense is laughable.

madras Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Adjusting to a new country/league and him and his team go through a bad run= confidence shot to fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Willing to give him time but let's be honest.... he looks.. bad at defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Probably his worst game for us yesterday but people are going over the top. He's played about 4 matches for us and looked sublime at times. Given defenders always take longer to settle in, I think it's very unreasonable to say he's a bad defender. He could be absolutely excellent for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to give him time as he's new to the league and country but this is my worry with him. Hopefully he can adapt fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 A defence is a unit. We've been worse with him in it so far. Clark looks poor at this level as well though. He will improve, as will the defence in general when Lascelles is fit. Tbf we got torn apart far more down both flanks yesterday than through the middle.

Alberto2005 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The new Titus Bramble He's better than Ciaran Clark. Based on what? Based on what I've seen of him so far I'd say he's better. Before the Man United game people were praising Lejuene so I don't see how 2 games later he's suddenly the next coming of Titus Bramble. Why is he better? Clark was solid last year but has looked dodgy this season at a higher level, and so has Lejuene in the last two games but he's much more comfortable on the ball than Clark. I know his job is to defend first but I'm confident he'll improve and has much more potential than Clark imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the praise Lejuene was getting was based on his performances in pre season and 20 mins against Spurs before he got injured. Since then he's looked error-prone. Clark hasn't looked dodgy at a higher level. Fair enough he nearly cost us a goal against Liverpool but generally when he's played alongside Lascelles he's looked solid. Lejuene appears to be the weak link at the minute unfortunately. He might turn out to be quality but it doesn't look likely based on what i've seen.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Starting to look that we’ll be OK with any CB as long as the other one is Lascelles. Certainly when we’re in need of character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
