Bunnski Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The goals are coming up on SSN. just got a glimpse of the 2nd goal. Vlaar had the ball cleared but Clark slid in and deflected it back towards our goal to set up the Luton player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Clark is a CDM and probably an excellent one at that... I bet you he's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevangrealish Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I would be worrying for clark, but then again hes just signed a new contract. Dont know whats happened to him in the past 2 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Clark doesn't seem to be progressing his game as much as we would hope, and is still making lots of mistakes even after three seasons in the first team squad. He should have gained vital experience over these last few years, he is not a new boy now he should be one of the more experienced heads in the dressing room. I don't know whether it is lack of concentration, or talent on his part, but If he is not careful He could well end up being labeled another Titus Bramble, by that I mean highly rated youngster who never learned from his mistakes and became a bit of a mediocre to poor defender. We need him to step up his game, I'm hoping he starts to cut out the rash decisions and becomes the defender we hoped he would. If not, then I don't see him being here in 12 months time.

Eastie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Two years ago i was really excited at the future of both Clark and albrighton but both have really slipped away in the last 2 seasons and need to improve this season and get back some kind of form or be passed by other up and coming youngsters.

Remember when he was linked with a move to United with Ashley Young to replace Giggs & Scholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not a good sign if he still has the howlers in him. Which he seems to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT but the Albrighton situation is slightly different as Albrighton has had injury problems coinciding with a loss of form, which was excellent at one point. Clark has had a good old run at it but has never been any good and that isn't changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark has had a good old run at it but has never been any good and that isn't changing. I wouldn't say he's never been any good , under houllier he had a good season and looked a future captain but since then his game has gone to pot - really needs to get things back on track. As folski says at one time he was being strongly linked with fergie. Albrighton granted has had injuries but when fit in the last 2 years has looked a shadow of the player he was under houllier . These players need to stand and deliver this season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not a good sign if he still has the howlers in him. Which he seems to have. Seems to me like the type of player who will never get rid of this. Might be a Richard dunne type player, plenty of own goals and red cards on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like the type of player who will never get rid of this.Yeah my hope for him was that the howlers were only there through a lack of experience. But there are players who seem to forever have that in their locker as well as the odd good performances (I'm thinking the legendary Titus Bramble here). If Ciaran can't get rid of the howlers then he's no good to us. At the moment that's still an 'if' but he needs to sort it pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark is a crap defender, who makes lots of mistakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay.P.A Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just watched the highlights. I think some people on here are being a bit harsh on Clark. As a defender, he tried to slide in and get the ball after another player gave the ball away in a dangerous position. As Clark dived in, Vlaar was running towards him, and saw Clark was making a challenge and jumped out the way. IMO, Clark was doing the right thing by attempting to get the ball, and Vlaar was doing the right thing by jumping over Clark because he thought Clark was going to get it. An early shout from either player was needed to avoid that situation. To be fair, I think it was miscommunication between the two players - it can and does happen a lot between two central defenders in all levels of footy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
