    I would hate for the poor guy to be reading these posts, but he really is poop. Perhaps he will come good, but I just can't see it.

    He's not that good. I'd rather have a horse!

    He's always been rubbish. Expected nothing and getting less.

    If anyone bought the programme have a look at the sheer bewilderment on his face as he sights the ball in ht eposter in the middle. As if any child is blue-taccing that to their wall...

    If he were in some other league one teams he might be more of a threat, but not with us, his style (target man loitering just outside the box and not having to do very much) doesnt fit in with our style play. Look at the yardage covered by Yann and BWP and you will see the difference.

    I'd agree with much of that SVC - it's not that he can't score goals, it's just that his style as a poacher is never going to fit in with how we're playing at the moment. When he tries to put in the yards to keep up with BWP or Kermit, it just exposes his lack of explosive speed and makes him look worse than he actually is - and seriously, I don't think he's much cop to start with.

    tin pot player suited to hoofballers.

    if i was haysey, id be livid at the coup de grace in terms of game time

    haysey makes mistakes, but at least he has got some inventiveness about him. Leon Clarke is a donkey.

    The only good word I've heard about him was CP who said that he linked well with Kermit, something which totally escaped me. When they've been on the pitch together the gulf in class is embarrassing. The problem is what to do with him now?

    Perhaps CP signed him just to remind us of days gone by, as though he's saying "remember, things could be worse, the whole team could be as useless as this big lump."

    Is Clark to Chris what Mooney and Francis were to Parkinson?

    Chris obviously sees something in him but for the love of god I fail to see what?

    If he wants another forward on the bench then why not Azeez or Sho-Silva I could see some future potential in that but Clark? What does he bring to the party?

    Hayes > Clarke.

    I love Chrissy- but he has got this terribly wrong.
