Match Day Thread: The Mighty Blades v Preston NE

[Birdwell Blade]

The “Elephant in the room” that is Leon Clarke would have been Room 101d by the vast majority of Championship managers by now. Lampard has £5m + Waghorn on the bench !!!

Not contributing AND not scoring is quite simply unacceptable, and has the potential, given Wilders clear and obvious blind spot, to derail our season.

Sharp and McG for me.

Wilder will go with Clarke !!

Isn’t contributing? Got to be joking. He works very hard for a big forward.

very good 1st 70 mins, it was the complete opposite of Birmingham. We had tempo intensity & understanding. It was back to utd we known for majority of the wilders reign. But we've just dug ourselves out of massive hole of our making. Im guilty of it this afternoon being so comfortable when we were so much better than opposition we thought we'd won. & job done took our eye off the ball & very nearly got done. Dropped 2 pts. As 2-1 gave them that momentum with the pressure 2-2 was always coming. Highly unusual Utd being lucky twice in 1 week because weve got 4 pts when it easily couldve been 1pt. Which is a big difference as we are 4th but couldve been 13th

There was funny moment at full time. Almost right in front of me in family stand Henderson went to give his gloves to this guy with crutches. Henderson went for a handshake & instead got a big surprise as fan went for a bear hug

What EXACTY is he contributing?
Seriously what ?
Be precise.

Even the by now mythical work rate has dropped off a cliff.

So please tell me what I’m missing.

Clarke needs any sort of goal to get himself going again. Most forwards go through this sort of spell at some stage – Sharp will inevitably hit one during the season. I really wish people would be patient rather than quick to slag off a player that has been a core part of our excellent last two seasons. He’s more than earned it.

I can’t be bothered mate, I’m not that arsed about winning on the internet. Argue with someone else who is of the same opinion (there are plenty, including the SUFC management team).
