A devastating response...not sure I'll ever recover.
Anyway, back to my original question to you, which you still haven't answered:
Are you saying Clough is right to play McCarthy in central defence & Basham in midfield?
I'm saying there is a pyramid of knowledge of which Clough sits at the top of and we sit somewhere near the bottom of. Who knows genuinley why he plays players in or out of position and we guess. Injury? Form? Tactics? Yet you look on here and some people make out they are the font of all footballing knowledge.

I know. Embarrassing isn't it? How wrong they are.......
I am a pillock.
Do you give our manager any credit for his team's superb performance last night?
You are to oracle round here so I would suggest you tell all. For me there are too many unknowns to state whether he has made the right decision or not. Form, fitness, tactics just for starters. He sees them train day in day out, he is paid to make those decisions and he is qualified to make those decisions. you and I are not.
Drop the sarcasm by the way, it does you a disservice.
Your turn to answer a question because you clearly think Clough is wrong. What makes you better qualified to say whether he is making the right decisions? What do you and people like you know that the rest of us mere mortals don't? I agree he should be questioned but day in, day out I would suggest he knows a shitload more than you and I do about his players.
Clough should do us all a favour and tell McCarthy to f*** off. Basham and McEverley are two of the best centre-halfs in the league. PLAY THEM TOGETHER!
I doubt Clough does want to and when McCarthy goes back to Palace I think he will go with Mceveley and Basham ,but there must be a clause that McCarthy must play if fit in his loan. We did stop conceding when he arrived to be fair.A devastating response...not sure I'll ever recover.

Paddy McCarthy's record for us is played 9 games and conceded 9 goals,5 of them in the first 2 matches against Chesterfield and Leyton Orient.The only clean sheets have been Bradford,Crewe and Doncaster(which he was incidently sent off)He's a liability and we shouldn't be bowing down to Neil fucking Warnock and playing him every game he's available for.Some of our fans say we're not a youth club for bringing kids through.Well i say we're not a club for pleasing other managers and whoever else wants to jump on our limited resources,which is what we're doing 'atm'.Grow a pair Blades and send him back.We did stop conceding when he arrived to be fair.
Some people like to question what's going wrong with the club and tactics of a football manager,that's what this forum is for.I'm saying there is a pyramid of knowledge of which Clough sits at the top of and we sit somewhere near the bottom of.

Fair enough mate,but you do agree he isn't good enough for us and is wasting a wage surely?Which shows how few weve conceded after he settled in ,are you forgetting Colchester and Swindon put 7 past us ? Our back 4 at that time was al over the shop ,and its not bowing down to anyone ,weve agreed a deal when we needed experience at the back and we have suspensions and injuries to think about with loads of games coming up. Basham/maceverley would be my choice too ,but you have to be practical too ,nobody would have predicted that pair 4 weeks ago.

Picture this.Steve Clarke is doing a good job at WBA,gets sacked.Alan Irvine is there 'atm' who was wank at the pigs in a league lower.Steve Clarke is now at Reading,a league lower,and a team that used to be managed by Brendan Rodgers who left Reading by mutual consent because of the shite results he was getting.He's now managing Liverpool in a league higher.
The point i'm getting at is that you might think that Clough is the font of all knowledge and us fans know fuck all,but football is a merry go round that me,you or anybody for that matter,that knows anything about football could get involved in with a debate or reasoned opinion in to why Clough for example isn't doing things the way a certain person wants.It really isn't the Da Vinci Code.It's football.
And if you read my further posts I agree he should be questioned, but as far as I am concerned he is way in credit. 2 Cup Semi Finals in one calendar year (OK just over now) and a team taken from the depths of relegation to sniffing around the play offs. I think most normal people would take that.
Do the Bash N' Mac and get the clean sheets back?

I'd take it if i knew the money from the cup Semi's was going to be spent on the playing squad,to improve us and take us to the Championship,that's still not evident to me and is making Clough's job a tougher one than what it should be imo.And if you read my further posts I agree he should be questioned, but as far as I am concerned he is way in credit. 2 Cup Semi Finals in one calendar year (OK just over now) and a team taken from the depths of relegation to sniffing around the play offs.

Nice bit of sarcasm there,i like it.You're probably right. Cloughie is scared shitless of Warnock who gave him a wedgie at the 125 celebration and threatened to smash his face in if he didn't sign McCarthy and play him every match.
Alternatively, Clough rates McCarthy as a player so asked Warnock to do his old club a favour.
Warnock as a lifelong Blade was happy to oblige as first-team action for McCarthy would suit all parties.
I suspect that Clough will ask Warnock in January if he can extend McCarthy's loan to the end of the season.
We're going to be short of centre-backs when Collins and Butler are offloaded.
McCeveley is our only cover for Harris and may have to move across there sooner or later.
As for the initial post,i just don't agree that you should and should not tell people when they can and can't comment on our manager.Just because we won a cup game against a very good side doesn't mean our problems of getting out of our league have been solved,we will find them out in due course,but that shouldn't stop people discussing what formula Clough has worked on or come across,which ever way you want to put it on this forum.
Alternatively Warnock is never going to play him in the Premier league because he isn't good enough and thought fuck it,i know what,let Sheff United pay his wage.Ohhh no,that wouldn't ever be the scenario would it,no one would ever do that to our club,not even a Blade himself who got sacked from his beloved club.
Let's not forget Flynny who was so good I thought I saw a beard on the end of his chin?....
