Whipping boy?

So does his purple patch stretch beyond that what I said ?

I believe Clarke has 7 goals for the club in over 30 games. 6 of which were scored in the 5.5 games at the end of last season.

Taking this out, which of course you can't, it's 1 in about 25 !!!

Clarke a decent player to have in the squad and out of Evans, Lavery and him I'd pick him if Donaldson is out. In a full season he'll get 10 goals, as a bit part player he'll get 5 goals. He also works hard and generally gets thrown under the bus for the team.

£41m (or whatever the hastily made up figure was)

Wrong thread. This is about football. I slipped a couple of posts ago but that's going to be it.

I vote for Tyler Durden - just not enough expletives used. GERIMOUT

His period of incarceration made him realise he was letting his parents down, letting his school down but most of all.........

I think he actually burned his school down. I wish I'd beaten him too it.

Looks like Lundream at the moment, but judging from the past couple of games he seems to be improving and getting up to speed with things.

Hang on. I started this, didn't I?

Nope, Broomhall Blade was the OP according to my computer.

If you've something to say on scapegoats (not called McCabe) then please join in.

It has been a good debate so far, even if DronnieBlade is wrong as usaul

Lundstram seems an obvious choice to me, because he's a third division no-mark and I'm genuinely puzzled by the signing.

I have every faith in Wilder and, due to the way he works in the transfer market, he's bound to get one or two signings wrong (but rarely at great expense, so always worth the risk). Hopefully this guy will prove me wrong, but right now I'd rather have Nick Montgomery on the bench.

Lundstrum offers strength to the midfield when it's tiring. He does put himself about and is not in there for his flair factor - that's for trio of FCD
Decent option imo

It was indeed meant as a light-hearted comment. I'm astonished that it has produced 7 pages.

From what I imagine was meant as a light hearted OP, the thread has turned into a big argument about the virtues of our strikers.

From what I've seen so far this season, I think all our forwards have made excellent contributions. It's clear that the team were not playing to Billy's strengths last night and CW alluded to it in his interview where he said he would have liked to see us play a bit more. I suspect normal service will be resumed on Saturday. To be honest, I don't think Sharp or Clarke are suited to smashed balls over their heads, Billy less so, I've seen Leon cope a little better when the ball has been played up around head or chest height and he's been able to use his strength to shield it and lay it off but he's not going to beat the likes of Wheater to balls over his head. Billy thrives on ball to feet, holding it up, give and goes, and obviously his main strength is finding a yard of space in the box and having that strikers instinct of being in the right place at the right time. I fully expect he will score 20 odd goals this season and for that reason alone, he's worth his weight in gold.

Wait until we get onto the Wagon Wheels or John Street give way road markings......

Clarke is given FAR too much slack for a 5.5 game purple patch at the end of last season.

Just telling it as it is.

He needs to up his game back towards this level. For the sake of the team, I hope he does.

I'll predict he won't do it. I'll also predict that the gaffer will continue to have faith in him. Misplaced faith. IMHO.

Sharp must be foaming to be constantly dragged after 70 mins. Especially when Clarke remains on the pitch. This in particular does not sit well with me. It's detrimental to the team.

Again, all abart opinions.
