Sunderland looked poor last night. The fact that looking so poor, yet still head & shoulders above Rovers, should be really concerning to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 On the commentary last night was said "Rovers manager, Graham Coughlan says that Jonson Clarke-Harris is a Championship quality striker". Didn't look much like one to me ... let's see, Tammy Abraham, Teemu Pukki, Neal Maupay, Billy Sharp, Dwight Gayle, Jonson Clarke-Harris. Nope. Sorry. I know that he's played 57 Championship games for a poor Rotherham team between 2014-17 scoring 9 goals but that doesn't make him a "Championship quality striker" in my eyes, or I suspect most other watchers of the Championship. More bollocks from the 15ers. (Clarke-Harris was an unused sub for Warnock's Rotherham team in the 1-1 draw at AG, the night that "Lazarus" Halford rose from the dead; so that's his pedigree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Comic Relief trying to raise money for the poor, "disadvantaged" fools. They're much more needy than all those other deserving causes around the world.

Rudolf Hucker Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) 57 minutes ago, 29AR said: He didn't put a market value on him then? He didn't, though TransferMarkt suggest that the "undisclosed fee" paid to Cov by the 15ers totalled £250k which, as we know, is the going rate for a Championship quality striker. Since Rotherham broke their transfer record in 2014 to sign him from Oldham for £350K his value has gone shooting downwards. Interestingly, Clarke-Harris was the first ever permanent acquisition of Lee Johnson's managerial career when he signed him for Oldham from Peterborough for £45k. He sold him to Rotherham 18 months later for £350k. http://oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/80312/young-striker’s-‘fresh-start’ JONSON Clarke-Harris first persuaded his new manager of his talents in one of the biggest games of Athletic’s season - while playing for Bury. The powerful 18-year-old striker was causing problems for Athletic in a must-win game at Gigg Lane a month ago. While on loan from Peterborough, Clarke-Harris smashed in four goals for the relegated Shakers in 12 appearances — eight of them as a sub. That goal tally would gave been five if a goal against Latics hadn’t been disallowed - allowing Athletic to gain a crucial 1-0 victory. Johnson had the player watched in the remainder of Bury’s matches and received good reports. The task for the strapping forward — Coventry City’s youngest-ever debutant, at 16 years and 21 days — is to develop his career under Johnson's tutelage. “He is young, big, strong and quick,” Johnson said. “And those sorts of players are very difficult to come by at this level. “He has a lot to do - but the ingredients are there for him to be anything he wants to be in the game.” The 12-month, one-year-option deal makes him the first permanent acquisition of Johnson's reign as manager.

"if you don't ******* bounce then you're a red", "allez allez allez" and "we support the Rovers" (Palace song) were all heard last night. They also all turned their phone lights on and were singing "lights on, if you hate the shit".... cringey as ****, I don't think I could sit through 90 minutes of that shit.

Citys under 23s lost against Forest under 23s this week There you go...doesn’t that feel better?

Many City fans have had a great time watching this competition and I suspect/hope that most of them remember that rather than think '**** it, not our problem anymore' 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
