sir_gary_cahill Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 He made his debut for the first team last night against Telford, I think he could be outstanding, the only thing he lacks to be a top centre back is a few inches in height, anyone tell me how he got on last night?

Seemed alright. Made a cracking run (pacey player or...?) to win our 2nd penalty - although looked like it might have been a dive at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked at home. Played left side so totally out of his comfort zone. He'll be a cracking RB if he doesn't grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 When I first saw the line up, I had to do a double take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 What a debut. Cool as a cucumber. Wasn't flawless and made a couple of mistakes as you'd expect but looks an exciting player. Anyone know now if he's a left back in the development squads? Right footed which is odd, though he was happy to use his left if needed. Decent at the back but but quite explosive going forwards at times, and made some lovely runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a Harry Maguire sort of defender who makes mazy runs and pops up with fair few headed goals. I had to go and do my first ever "Opposition Match Report" for a professional club since i was qualified as Talent Identification Scout last weekend for Barnet FC on Brighton (who Barnet only lost 1-0 to tonight in cup) playing Leicester at Kings Power Stadium. Maguire really impressed me he was cool as a cucumber and is a very good defender he went on about 5 or 6 mazy runs through the Brighton midfield, from what people are saying Clark could easily be a similar player within time to Maguire.

sir_gary_cahill Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm sure I made a thread for him on here a while ago, he's a brilliant young talent, if he was a few inches taller, he'd be in our first team, his best position is centre back closely followed by right back. I've never seen him play at left back but he was great tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2017 I thought he was outstanding - he was occasionally out of position defensively and got the wrong side of his man, but he was well supported and his recovery chasing was excellent. What really impressed me was what he did on the ball, a great ball down the line for Bjarnason settled his nerves and then a lovely ball over the top for Adomah which should have resulted in a goal ten minutes later. He looked measured, assured and confident - not in the slightest bit overawed - congratulations to him on a very impressive debut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
