billy_loes Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 That tackle on Noble was really crunching and I thought Noble was going to be replaced but fair play for carrying on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Good performance but he did miss a few headers. He likes a tackle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 What I liked about Dunne and Clark is both of them read the game so well that one would always drop into the right position when the other did not win a header. This might be basic defending but a couple of years ago we didn't do this and were flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Davies was injured.Part of me is pleased to hear that as him not playing today gave me the impression he was definitely off and I would love for him to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I've heard all the reports on our young centre backs over the years.... but i like this lad, i think he has a real future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussG Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 So pleased for Clark today, I'd rather him develop further and get rid of Davies, especially after his embarrassing interview earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMarlon Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Very impressed with him today. He isn't just a good defender, he is also very composed on the ball. He certainly has a bright future and he can learn a lot from Richard Dunne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsend Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 When he played the first half against fiorentina last pre season alongside carlos he was immense and he hasn't disappointed since. Suspect with a bit of training he could score a few from corners as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Seen him in 2 games now, this and against Fulham, and he's really impressed me. The most impressive defender coming through our youth academy since Barry, I have to say. Think at this age he looks way more comfortable, reliable and "intelligent" than both Ridgewell and Cahill were when they were at the same age. They never impressed me as much. Good fighters but took too many chances for my liking. Clark looks a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Cracking performance. And also perhaps now some Villa fans will realise that Can'T Control really is shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Clark was good today, just because he was so composed and calm.If I recall right, that's just how he was when he played against Fulham last year. As someone else asid, this may be bad news for Curtis Davies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowandlow Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 2 games i have seen him play he has been class, no-nonsense defending and decent on the ball i hope he gets a proper chance at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulanddonya Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 i've just basically said in the Albrighton thread - dont rush him, take time to bleed him However, I see a difference in Clark. I think he is ready now. The game he played last year (was it Fulham) the guy looked like he was as experienced as Dunne. This kid looks 10 times the player Cahill was - and I wish we still had him !. I'd be tempted to stay with the kid, if he needs a rest, we have cover.

dappadan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The performances he has put in for the first team are not just a flash in the pan either having watched him lots in the reserves he is as composed as he was today every time I see him. Top quality defender and I hope he stays in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2010 May aswell say it here too. Anyone still have any doubts? We saw the future today. And it looked bright at both ends of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also for Cuellar and Collins I don't think he'll keep Cuellar/Collins out the side for too long, he was good today, but he had it easy against Cole and West Ham who were poor.

Cole is not an easy striker to defend against. He's strong, but not John Carew strong, and Clark seemed to do just a good a job as Cuellar or Collins would have done.
