Spoony Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Does it really matter? Yes. It's his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) It always amazes me how people misspell his name. Virtually every other Clark in the world doesn't have an "E" why should Clarkz? Edited January 18, 2014 by Con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Irish people with that surname end it in an 'e' Thanks for the explanation. That probably causes the error. Most English Clark's don't have the 'e', including Clark's family - although Clark is actually Irish on his dad's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that actually makes it more confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) To be fair I've heard of quite a few "Clarke"s although there really is no excuse for people still getting his name wrong - he's been in and around the first team for a good 3 and a half years now.

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Never been a big fan of CLARK, no E, but i think he has played well the last few months.Probably caught on his heels a bit for the 1st goal, but played well yday.Fair play to him.

Big_John_10 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I thought he was getting worse and worse but this season he's really stepped up his game. Fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Every game always does something stupid, will be pleased when Okore partners Vlaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMac Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He's done we'll this season when partnered with Vlaar. At the end of last season I wasn't sure who was better between Clark and Baker but Clark seems to have stepped up his game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Every game always does something stupid, will be pleased when Okore partners Vlaar. I think that's a bit unfair. He's been solid this season and cut out a lot of mistakes. The first goal was more down to the quality of the attack than than a mistake from Clark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also brought down Suarez on the edge of the box that was luckliy waved away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2014 CB is where our best quality is at the moment. Clark's more than doing his bit. Okore brings with him good competition, and most of all much needed depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think he's been excellent when he's played alongside Vlaar. Yesterday was probably the most ineffective Suarez has been all season so credit must go to our defence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted January 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2014 Our defense will be very good next year. Very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not perfect, but overall pretty solid, and he was even in position to clear the cross that deflected off delph. Played some poor long balls compared to his normal accuracy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wish he would pass it. Really likes a hoof Yeah, I don't get why he does, he's actually pretty good with the ball. I think maybe some of the mistakes he made last season, where he occasionally tried to be a little too clever and got the ball nicked off him (like vs. City) -- I think those experiences have left him a little gun shy this season. He's in "safety first" mode a little too much. You can really see how hard he's worked to cut stupid errors our of his game. It's a pendulum, hopefully, and we'll see him swing back the other way a bit and start adding that technical side back to his game, little by little, as he gets more confident in his defensive abilities. Hopefully, the pendulum won't swing too far back the other way, not so far that he goes back to the silly mistakes. But I'm very pleased with his progress this season. He wasn't great today but still so much improved from last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great today but still so much improved from last season. This is why I'm not worried about his long term abilities with the ball. He has the technical skills which are harder to acquire, he just needs the confidence (and the midfield options) to keep the ball on the ground. I know he's 24 already, but cbs frequently peak later and I expect him to start translate his passing abilities into games at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
