Leon Clarke

I don't believe that for one minute, the way he headed that ball away from the net Saturday takes ability.

I thought your argument was that he had ability, he just wasn’t bothering to use it because of his new contract?

Nope, purple patches don't count. Since the new deal he's been garbage.

Nope, purple patches don't count. Since the new deal he's been garbage.

So was last season also a ‘purple patch’?

‘Since the new deal he’s been garbage’. Now that insinuates that before the new deal he wasn’t garbage but you’ve just said that ‘purple patches don’t count’ (if you could explain why that is it would be great). Either he’s only been garbage since the new deal (he hasn’t) or he’s always been garbage. If you could make your mind up on that point it would go a long way towards providing a conherent argument.

I’m assuming you think Wilder has got it wrong with Clarke by the way?

Assume what u like & last season was L1 (and he was hit and miss then).

He's scored how many since his new deal?

So Wilder is wrong then?

Of course last season was league 1, that’s the league we were in.

Have you decided whether he was garbage before the new deal or whether he’s only been garbage since the new deal?

Why doesn’t a purple patch count by the way?

Wilder was wrong (my opinion).

And you are not Freud so pack it in with the psycho analytical shit.

Again how many goals since he got a new deal?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Can I have a go at this little game?

Clarke has been poor for the last dozen games or so. Whether that’s got anything to do with his new deal I’ve no idea. Is he garbage? No. On his day he’s a good Championship standard player, but nothing more, and his good days are infrequent.

He’s not a patch on Jan Age Fjortofft but that’s irrelevant really.

 

[SteveBlade]

It's weird how he can't shoot for shit recently.

I've not looked but I'm guessing he hasn't scored since the new deal. I'm not sure how that proves he's been 'garbage' though. How many goals before the new deal?

I've asked you to clarify your argument. You started by saying he's been garbage since he got his new deal but then made the argument that he was also garbage before as 'purple patches don't count'. So which is it?

The facts are that this season he's played 32 games, scored 15 goals and got 3 assists. I wish we'd got a few more players who were as garbage as that.

Billy is almost as garbage, 13 goals in 31 apps. Luckily for him though, he hasn't had a purple patch, so all his goals count.

Yes, but some of Billy's goals are penalties and need to be deducted from his total as they apparently don't count.

Rightly so....

Personally thought he was a great signing who would do well in league one, injury aside he did.

Was a bit dubious of him starting for us in the championship. And tbh iv not really rated him this season from what iv seen (not loads granted) . No agenda here , I don't think he's garbage and think overall he's done plenty to merit us signing him. However id be hoping for better next season.

Out of interest, how many games has he scored in? Not goals.

15 goals in 8 matches, including 7 in 2 matches! Which backs up the purple patch argument.

Leon has exceeded my expectations as I didn't expect him to get into double figures, so fair play to him, he's had a good season.
