Lee Sinnott Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 There's no doubting that the Clarke substitution disrupted the shape and balance of the side, but on this occasion I'm happy to let it slide. The reaction when he came on to the pitch is probably the best moment of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree mostly - but, as someone else pointed out, why did he not play Clarke as centre back and push Sutton to right back with Shelton into midfield and keep Green in the right wing? That would have given a far better balance to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans wanted Clarkey to play the last few minutes and it meant a lot to him as well.I noticed the big Bromley CH shook his hand and showed respect as indeed we all did .You could see how much the reception meant to him .

I think the answer is quite simply that he wanted Clarke to sign off with a goal and was probably nowhere near fit enough to be on the pitch, so decided he was best up front...

I would agree, but he wasn't fit enough to play, so Rhino had the option of playing him at the back (and shuffle the pack as you rightly suggest), but that would expose him and the defence, or put him upfront and minimise a potential problem while giving him the chance to score. Unfortunately for Rhino, it didn't work out, but that's sods law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Webster, also been about a bit. I would guess they've had their moments in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Nothing to add on the game to whats been said above, however thought i’d mention I liked the look of their number 19, Forster I think he was called. Looked a tidy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlion Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I was a little surprised the ref didn't make Norman change his top as it was almost identical to the Bromley kit but maybe he was colour blind or just blind like most of the other refs we seem to get.

I said the exact same thing. I watched the highlights before and it was very difficult to separate Magnus from their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green's doing well, and slotted in at right back. He does need to work on his final ball but is pacey and looks to go forward at every opportunity. I'd be making a playmaker a priority as we looked better balanced with Gardner yesterday but his best days are behind him and he's injury prone.

BP1960 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Anyone else notice a big improvement in Sheron's distribution yesterday, perhaps he's been working hard on it, or enjoyed Gardner playing alongside him? Can't fault his attitude and work rate, but if he can add better passing to his game he'd be a big asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sheron is blatantly colour blind. we just dont wear red when theyre in green, or vice versa. problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'should' if we havent got a few players who were irrationally upset at drawing a dead rubber then we won't do anything next season. l would expect Rooney was a bit angry at not even being in the squad. Yarney probably not or if he was, then not for so long. he seems more of a thinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 ah l just thought both were firm fixtures for next season so seemed to be the least point in playing. yarney just seems chill to me, obviously thats just the surface and its based on watching him play Football and answer Football questions so could me massively wrong. also, of course, l could have completely mis-read the whole thing and Rooney is going to rochdale.
