Riaz Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hahaha please don't compare sheringham to Clarkson! Wow. Thats the type of striker he is. No one is saying he is anywhere near as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thats the type of striker he is. No one is saying he is anywhere near as good. Exactly. Taking into account his intermittent appearance record and the number of times he has come off the bench for just a few minutes he has a very respectable goals/assists rate at this level. Perhaps his 'passes completed' stat isn't up to the mark as occasionally he tries something a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 A very poor player who some suggested was very good, which is why this club will go nowhere if people truly believe things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Not so obvious is the player who had a request for loan turned down by the City? I believe that was D James, it was a reasonable request too - dunno why we turned him down tbh. ...... after all .....he only wanted to borrow a fiver ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Agree with Well Red Phil : "He's excellent in space and is much more effective in the hole or as a midfielder in a 4-3-3 in my opinion. He ran the show in our 4-0 win at Deepdale last season and as he had lots of space in that game was able to dictate play, spraying balls around. He's very weak and slow though so if he's up front unless you can give him the ball when he's in a lot of space, which we evidently don't have the quality to do, he is pointless. Makes sense him going out on loan as he's clearly not in Millen's plans." With a lot of work done on upper body strength he would be good in the Championship. Too easily pushed off the ball as striker. Skilfull player. Why hasn't he been tried in midfield if we can't attract a creative midfielder from elsewhere It worked when he played in the hole.

Mr Gow Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Davie Clarkson good player, very very under rated. In my opinion he could be the player we have been crying out for,a creative midfielder, yep i said it midfielder. Another example of a good player becoming stagnant at Ashton Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsobigfatdave Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Not so obvious is the player who had a request for loan turned down by the City? Quite so...several in fact ...plus a couple of firm offers for more than one of them... I wouldnt mind a wager that several of the players Millen has discarded from his plans would run out of the gate tomorrow if they had a decent loan offer. Its not aquestion of taking a pay cut either as they would still be under contract to City and City would have be obliged to make up the difference in the salary. The club could have offloaded severl of these Players and Maynard earlier in the season but Landsdown played the odds and lost.... All this... "Players refuse to go on Loan" is just a smoke screen to masque the Clubs incompitence IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he could be the player we have been crying out for,a creative midfielder, yep i said it midfielder. Another example of a good player becoming stagnant at Ashton Gate Totally agree... Always good with his back to goal. Would do well imho, just behind a front 2 or playing off one other. Killkenny would benefit from having him as someone to pass to. Holds ball up well and also has a great shot and eye for goal. A goalscoring high midfielder is what we need. Hope he does well at Brenford and comes back to the club on fire.

Ashton Great Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Funny how Clarkson has suddenly become the missing link. Whenever he has played, most on here are quick to say he's not good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Funny how Clarkson has suddenly become the missing link. Whenever he has played, most on here are quick to say he's not good enough! Agree with that, he certainly isn't good enought to be played up front but he was a much better player behind the front two in an attacking midfield role. I think that the shame of it all is Millen will force Stead and Pitman onto the left wing when everyone knows it wont work yet, when Clarkson has played in a deeper role he's looked decent he gets dropped again. It happens to a lot of managers, they think they are being very clever by swopping players around and persisting with rank systems to try and prove a point, most recent example is the what once was the untouchable Wenger and his ridiculous youth only policy, it's cost Arsenal valuable players like Nasri and Fabregas to try and prove his point. Managers become stubborn and don't want to seem to do things they are being told, and do all they can to get away from the bleeding obvious. Keiths one of these, so was Johnson. Football is a very very simple game to play, managers confuse players with their (clever) tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Clarkson is a decent player, granted....he just is not good enough for the Championship. Many Scottish player these days cross the border, but not to many succeed as the standard of football up there now is League 1 standard down here. David goodwille for example....just moved to Blackburn, I put money on it now he will disappear back to Scotland within 18 months. Talk of playing Clarkson in midfield.....wont work, he isnt a midfie;der by trade, and certainly wouldnt be good enough to play there at this level. Nice idea, but we do not have a creative option good enough in our squad. We can try everyone there....it wont be good enough Good luck to the lad in League 1, think he can do a job down there. The ironic thing is, the way its going....we could be down there next year, and Clarky will be gone on a free transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 A large proportion of our Squad have spent most of their career playing League 1, Scottish or development football. A lot of recent signings have come from the lower leagues. The likes of Cisse, Stewart and Hunt have had more experience at a higher level but are out of favour. Tbh, when you look at our Squad there are a lot of young and relatively inexperienced, at this level, individuals in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Reynolds Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Teddy Sheringham may well have been very slow, but he had one of the best football brains you'll find. I don't think Clarkson is the same type of player at all. But then I rate Clarkson alongside Bas Savage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
