It's not arguing though. It's ribbing.

Who am I arguing with exactly?

Well you won't, you will moan when you "rib" about somebody who hasn't even posted in the thread and an argument happens and wonder why?

Anyway, I reckon Clarke will be in for Turnbull tomorrow unless he has to play Willis as full back.

I found Vincelot too prone to concede possession at the back in a manner you could get away with in his natural position but spelt disaster in defence. If he's playing there now for Bradford he may have ironed it out.

He has got slack recently and was hooked at HT today, big call from SmC for the captain. Tbh he has played well at CB but his lack of height has left us vulnerable at set pieces.

Clarke is a very good CB and well thought of by our fans, he kept filling in then being dropped all last season but not a grumble, good pro, too good to not be playing.

He was just what we needed today. A talker on the pitch, constantly organising and encouraging, and got into the refs ear plenty of times too.

I'd take Clarke over Vincelot at CB, but we also have Rory McArdle who is better than both. Good to hear Nathan put in a good display after playing so little this season.

I was concerned he might not be match fit but I thought he had a good game, one thing that stood out was his composure under pressure at times. Very promising start

Could have got more of a foot in for their second but he had an excellent game

If you don't like me no more, that means you do like me.

Here is his opinion....

Experienced, steady centre half. Played a lot last year not had a sniff this season. Will do a decent job. Not quick but very organised , vocal and wins headers and challenges

Pretty spot on opinion that based on his first display. Turnbull seemed to improve with someone constantly telling him what to do (not disparaging Willis, but that's not really his strength). Clarke's the type of centre half we've been crying out for since last Christmas.

Had a great game considering his lack of game time before today.

Always talking to Turnball, who looked better (but still not his biggest fan).

Not sure I like seeing a number 7 in the back line though; doesn't seem right!

Agree, put his head on everything and was commanding.

You could tell he wasn't used to a static keeper too.

Big thumbs up, based on today. Looked solid - especially as they played the long ball a lot - as had a few big 'uns in their line up.

Solid performance, straight away won us a throw from appealing firmly to the Lino, won most his headers, something we've missed since Reda.
Made one or two minor errors as he's rusty from match fitness. But very commanding constantly taking to Turnbull, and everyone else. Pulled the strings at set pieces. Saying when to pump it into the box. More to come from him I'd say as he settles in.

I'm sure he will sort the keeper situation out to with RS... I'm sure Slade will be ironing out anything clarke suggests.

Yeah, he was straight in to the ref appealing as well.

Mad how much difference it made.

Seems like the new signings did well! Hopefully a couple More good permanent additions stay up this season. I don't doubt we will stay up.
