Nuff said !!
hes had an excellent game apart from 2 real bad clangers
did Parkinson really say that. Fucking hell he was watching a different game to everyone else. Horrible hoofball of a team.It wasn't that clear cut. Clarke is trying to get leverage and their big lump has bundled straight through him. He couldn't get his arms out of the way down to the challenge. Personally I think Phil Parkinson is a twat as well, trying to tell everyone how they should have won that.
Clarke was poor for the first goal but unlucky on the second. Not sure he's a centre back, when you look at the line up he is a bit of a weak link.
Were not allowed to critic Jordan clarke on this forum
Improved a lot but he is not a centre back. Cost us 2 goals. Need a big man to partner Webster.
Gutted but it was a pen. If he wasn't so short he wjdbr have to leap like that
Not a cb!
Not sure we need a big man (except against long ball merchants like bradford) I like the mix of the two centre halves but we have to remember he's still learning the role. Jordan Clarke was head and shoulders the best player against Walsall (regularly clearing up after Webster). One poor game doesn't mean we right him off. Also until today we had tightened up a lot in recent weeks.
Deserved the win today away against another team challenging. Keep it up lads
I agree we, we don't want two big lumps next to each other. What would be useful is to have a lump of a centre half on the bench who could come on in the last 10 mins of games like this to help us see it out.
The penalty came about originally from Connor Thomas who for some reason kept the ball from going out with his heels which put Bradford in the position to deliver a deep cross into our box. To blame Jordon Clark is a bit harsh, the penalty was a joke decision by a pendentic official who seemed to see what he wanted to see
very key point. if thomas had of cleared that to touch, we would of had 3 points
What a ridiculous comment

Yes, he obviously meant would HAVE had 3 points.

He had one of his worst games of the season today but it's just one game. Christie was also poor today and I don't see calls to drop him.
What! It was a clear handball decision!! The ref had absolutely no choice at all!
Exactly. With 30 seconds to go don't jump up in the penalty area with your hands in the air!
I thought apart from the miss kick he had a reasonably good game. Watching him live I got to see more of his movement off the ball and I think he reads the game reasonably well, especially as it is not his oiginal position. The first goal was a bad mistake to make but Murphy didn't help. He should not have come for that ball and it did spin and kick off the ground slightly just as Clarke went to hit it, would've been better to try to volley it if he could've reached it but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I think he was a little unlucky for the pen, both players went up for the ball with their arms up and through the contact Clarke got pushed on to the ball. I'm more concerned as to why it wasn't Webster marking Hanson at that point, it took a while for Darby to pump the ball into the box and its not like it they hadn't been playing this tactic all game.
Lol !!!!!!
Reading covcity4life and Grendels posts.
I didn't even watch game yesterday due to family commitments. But i have seen enough games away from suxfields to understand Sp's tactics . We play a high back line with attacking full backs who have pace. This squeezes the game into the opposing teams half. When the opposing team break or play a long ball its usually Webster who attacks the ball or player, with JC using pace to cover.
We can not play the highline if we play two webster style cb's.
So this is why the centre back pairing picks itself.
JC is learning and is going to make mistakes he is young but i have seen enough to know that he can time a tackle.
The mistakes in his game seem to be down to concentration which can easily be worked on.
