[Jimmy Hill's Chin]

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.

I have always thought he would be better as a right winger.

Is Christie injured? If not, I don't see why Jordan is in the team ahead of him.

 

[Tonylinc]

Christie can't be injured as he was on the bench today. Perhaps MR just feels that he needs a rest!

 

[stupot07]

He's in the team ahead of christie because his formed dipped and he needed resting, he was truly awful in the league match vs PNE and Shrewsbury.

I imagine he will come back in on Wednesday.

lets hope he doesn't rest the Edge and woody then

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.

 

[Swanny80]

Simply isn't good enough

Wish he was, love to see cov lads in the team but he won't make it with us

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.

 

[Swanny80]

There's a Clarke v Christie debate.

Do any of you think either is honestly honestly honestly good enough?

Ps good to see PNE Lose again. I've got a real dislike for them

 

[Junglist]

Yeah, this is Jordan Clarke that teed us up for the next round of the cup right?

Jesus Christ

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

 

[ccrproductions]

[Swanny80]

Coz of one touch! He did 100 crap ones today

Neither. Get a loanee in ASAP

 

[torchomatic]

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.

 

[Tonylinc]

What is our loanee position? Do we not have as many as we are allowed?

 

[deanocity3]

put Bell in there

 

[hill83]

If we can get someone as good as Adams we'd be laughing. Christie and Clarke are 'potential' but we need someone to perform now. I expect someone to be drafted in within the next couple of weeks.

 

[Cooksta94]

Is this thread serious?

 

[ccrproductions]

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.

 

[gspotgaz]

Just saw Carlisle's goal... what the utter fuck was Clarke doing?!

Just stood there and watched their man jump above him the ball go in, and turned around as if nothing had happened..

 

[sw88]

put Bell in there

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

 

[hill83]

I reluctantly agree

 

[ccrproductions]

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

 

[deanocity3]

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.

 

[Grendel]

What is our loanee position? Do we not have as many as we are allowed?

No we can have at least 3 more

 

[hill83]

And we can have as many as we want from abroad and play them all.

See Watford for an example of this odd rule.

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"

Why just pick on Clarke, they were all crap today

 

[dadgad]

Why just pick on Clarke, they were all crap today

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:

 

[dadgad]

For what I/ve been told he was one of our better players today......so he's a scapegoat then.....thought so.

 

[tippex9]

I bet he can't wait for Bell to be fit or Carl Baker not to score for a week, whingebags will leave him alone then.
