AVTuco Posted December 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2013 HeyAnty, your opinion just got some more beef behind it! Very good game by Clark. He'll be depended on heavily in the next few weeks (?) now that Vlaar's injured. U know what the best thing Clark did last night. Osvaldo was being a right ass when weinman done the tackle on shaw 93rd min. He was then running backwards up the pitch and Clark clattered into the back of him. Put a bit of manners in him. Shows it has matured and will be a leader. Take no shit, way it should be I can't find this incident. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakal Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 he got a lot of stick after the Everton game last season, when he was too close to Anichebe and was outmuscled by him. A lot of opinions that this was due to the lack of experience etc. West Brom - Man City on wednesday: Demichelis did EXACTLY the same and Anichebe of course scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted December 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think Clark played a quite good game today. The gulf in performance between him and Baker gets wider by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Yeah Clark was very good today again. People worry about loosing Bentekke to one of the top 5. Im starting to worry we might have to fight to hold on to clark. Was at the game today and you notice he has that bit of class about him.

sir_gary_cahill Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I thought he played well as well, finally maturing as a player, I've seen him develop since he was 16 years old, so it makes me feel good, seeing him improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Clark has been a real positive of our season so far, the step up in his performances makes him almost like a new signing. Hope he keeps it up and continues improving, massive potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2013 I thought Clark played well again today. Only minus was that when he was played as LB the center was exposed badly. Baker and Herd just couldn't cope with the responsibility. Not enough size or brains. If only we had either Vlaar or Okore back... If we had both of them back, I'd play Clark as left back. Lowton - Okore - Vlaar - Clark. Our defense would be very strong I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes i thought he was probably our best defender today. I can't be critical of Herd coming in and doing a job a cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Clark really looked a player who wouldn't cut it in the league coming into the season but he has easily been one of our best defenders all season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Due to a certain person's comments, I thought I'd bump this and again comment at how great Clark has been this year . Keep proving me wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2013 Agreed. He's slowly becoming my favourite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 He's doing well. Happy to be proved wrong as he looked an utter car crash at CB this time last year (worth noting given how much Baker is struggling right now). He's done very well alongside Vlaar, that partnership was starting to look rock solid but probably not quite ready to be the senior man in the defence seeing as he's only been a regular there for 18 months.

dakid007 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Been impressed with him but should never play lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I think he's looked average at best and shouldn't be in the first XI but currently we have no other options. Maybe he's looked good to you guys because the others around him like Baker and Luna have been awful at times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Or maybe he's just been good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Overall I think he has done OK this season. He is 24 now though and has been in/around the first team for over 4 years yet he still at times looks totally lost when not alongside a more experienced centre back. As with many of our players I can't fault the lads effort as he never gives less than 100%. However if we are ever to amount to any more than mid to lower table fodder then we are going to need better than Clark as one of our main centre backs.
