Once of the worst I have ever seen at the club, made even worse by the fact he played most weeks... Too true. And for all the times we heard "he's a goal threat" every week, he scored as many as Jameson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots to prove here. He was shocking, but he is very young. Hopefully he'll be that bit more mature. Could not understand the criticism aimed by a few at Clarke. He was 19, playing first team football for the first time, a long way from home and yet he gave us 100% every week. Yes, young players make mistakes/have bad games, but it's part of their learning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Bowden is a midfield anchor with a 'great range of passing' according to Spurs' web page. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave the ball away far too many times in close range of the goal and a lot of his marked players got on the end of crosses etc to score. He will become a class player tho in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw enough though to suggest he’ll have a decent career. Probably do him the world of good, because he’ll be hard pressed to play with such poor players again, and under a manager who attitude to defending was ‘everyone concedes goals’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence got a lot of stick last season, not always unfairly, but they were constantly under pressure as teams would just dance through our midfield. I'm sure Clarke will go on to be a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, i thought he might be a PL ponce who would get battered by fourth division strikers, but he stood up to it really well. However, he wasn't a cultured ball playing CB.

Jack stobbs is comin from failing at Kilmarnock and port vale and ending up playing in northern Ireland which is mostly part timers. Not thrilled at all. Other 2 are unknowns.

Suspect Leutweiler will be number 1. Two of Sutton/Da Silva/Vaughan/Luamba going out on loan this week (can't see it being Vaughan)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
