I'm all for strengthening the team.
Have to say though that some people need to step back & think before posting. Lots of contradictions on this thread about how useless the defence is, or this player is crap...can't score. We are a team that's lost continuity coming from perceived (by some) terrible at the start to great until the end of Robin's era. The fact is 3 games under Carsley/Oggy...5 goals for - 2 against (is that such a poor record?)...2 wins, 1 defeat...if they were all league matches that'd equate to 6 from 9 = 2 points per game & STILL enough to give us a good chance of play-offs.
Gary LinekAr? Never heard of him.
I am not a Clarke hater. I thought he played very well at Crewe on weds, he showed he has the ability to be a main player for his and put himself about, however he was nothing short of dreadful on Sat. If there was an award to show you really aren't interested in a game he would have won it hands down. He loves to hide behind defenders and tries to kid us he is challenging for a ball. I don't think he jumped for one header on sat?
Doesn't that say a lot about the left side then? I'm well aware Cameron wasn't great, but Edj drifted out of position too many times. I'm going to show you a picture, if you don't think the 'left side' was at fault for their second goal - HINT: they're massively out of position - there's no point in even discussing this.
Good idea on changing your name to that, but since that episode, your credibility on suggesting who should/shouldn't start has took a knock.
Explain my mistake..?

loving this new centre half thread
I can't even remember his name!!Got nothing to do with the player we've just signed! :laugh:
We beat a poor Bury side, and a Crewe side who had already won the game and adjusted their tactics accordingly, their manager said that after the game, we didn't mix it up, they did, and battered us in midfield and won the game, again!
Just like that waster Gary Linaker. Awful!!
To stick the ball in from 5 - 8 yards, you have to be positioned to do so. That doesn't happen by accident. Leon Clarke is one of our best players at the moment. His biggest crime is that he's not David McGoldrick.
I can't even remember his name!!
Bury: sometimes it's hard to look good against a "poor" side; you can only beat what's in front of you; we beat them 2-0
Crewe: JPT...if you believe it was already won you are very naive - I would be most surprised if anyone connected with the Crewe team believed it. Especially given our away form. They probably agreed they had the edge but it was not beyond us. L1 match try did a job on us again...but hey! Lets us not given credit to anyone else having the measure of us. We must assume we're rubbish seems to be your line of thinking.
Sad really we have a Premiership pedigree...but we are a L1 club, playing with L1 players, against L1 opposition. Accept it...all we can do is strive to improve by gaining an edge over the others.
2 points average a game as we enter the critical phase is good.
Back on topic... Good player, happy with this signing.
Firstly, I'm voicing my concern that under Carsley, we have performed poorly in all 3 games under his caretakership, it's not just about the result there has to be performance as well, he stuck with an under performing side on Saturday and we lost 3 valuable points in the play-off race and Crewe and Notts County now have 2 and 1 game(s) in hand on us, 3 and 2 points behind us respectively.
Secondly, at 3-0 the tie was effectively won, I never said they knew they won, because shocks happen in football, however, if it was say 1-0 (to Crewe) or 1-1 for instance, they would've approached the game in a completely different manner, they wouldn't have been so conservative, instead of 'going for it'. Look, their manager said they were going to approach Saturday differently to Wednesday, they did, and won, says it all.
We need to shake up the team for Tuesday or we will get battered.
Crewe & Notts. C still have to win those points though. As for us getting battered...that's just a concern (shared) we have similar to any other game against the "better" teams. However, they have suddenly hit a less productive patch & no doubt are equally concerned. Shaking the team up can sometimes be counter-productive.
Recommended by his old boss, soon to be our new boss
If he's any good, I hope we can sign him permanently. Fair play to the board who have once again back the manager, even if he's a caretaker.
Lets hope he turns out like our last loanee who was signed by a caretaker... That man McGoldrick!
Have you got curly hair, wear a big red nose and splash white and red makeup all over your face!I hope this is a wind up? Leon Clarke was truly awful! One good finish does not make a good performance.
Tbf Southampton's youth system has been one of the best around with their youth team Bale & Walcott I'm sure this guy will possess quality

Cannot fault SISU at all on backing managers with players this season.
However they are still the reason we are not in the top six.
If it doesn't work, move on, but if you don't try, you won't know, trial and error, especially when you're new in the game.
Ranieri style you mean? Tinker about? That'll give everyone something to moan about somewhere down the line lol
Doesn't that say a lot about the left side then? I'm well aware Cameron wasn't great, but Edj drifted out of position too many times.

In that picture.....Could it be argued that the right side are sat far too deep, allowing the Crewe players to sit in that hole!?? ;-)
Cameron is shocking. Full stop. Whole thread on Crewe messageboards after Weds about how bad he was/is. Excelled at conf North level.... but having experienced that level i'd say he has even gone backwards from there.
