Sorry to pick on one player but he's way too lightweight, gets brushed off the ball too easy and doesn't have the physicality to play as a defender in this Division. I'm afraid to say I think he is a major weakness in the team.
Christie can't be injured as he was on the bench today. Perhaps MR just feels that he needs a rest!
Christie always looks much better than Clarke to me and is a lot stronger. Clarke is way too lightweight and doesn't have the skill to compensate.
I disagree about skill level, they have different skills and attributes. Clarke is a better pass and spots passes better, but Christie can run and dribble with the ball better.
Fans also seem to turn a blind eye to Christies defensive lapses in general.
Clarke also seems to take 4-5 games to get up to speed when he comes back in.
Clarke has now played 60 odd matches now and is 21
Christie is a year younger and played 50,he links up better and better crosser,but like Jordan not good at defending.
take your pick

I'd rather have Christie any day of the week, however I do think it's time we get an experienced right-back. It's our weak spot at the moment.
robins has publically highlighed both christie and clarkes recent mistakes,im sure he will be on to sisu right now to draft a new RB in before transfer window closes.
Was it him or McIndoe who played in the back four for part of a game before and were actually better in that position than they were in their normal position?
Thinking it was McIndoe but could be wrong
Either way, im not supporting this suggestion. Its just plain daft
also i notice robins praised sisu after preston game, he obviously has good rapport with joy and the rest of um,hopefully they will back him
right back has always been a problem position.the likes of Telfer Breen and Shaw all were tried there without sucess.we need a Stephen Carr type player.
Can someone please tell me how to create a thread?
Forum home page, go to the forum you wish to post in i.e. Coventry City General chat, once in that forum area there should be a blue box top left "+ post new thread"
You may well ask. I didn't go but perhaps someone who did can enlighten us........is criticism of him justified or has he become the whipping boy for all the team's shortcomings?:guitar2:
