I'd say Clarke is behind all of those as well, as a starting, genuine number 9.

Yeah you have guessed it, another one of Cullen's barmy decisions. Imagine if Cullen was still at the club, we would be offering Briers a new 2 year deal probably!

Face it we are stuck with Clarke for another few years.

Agreed.

Clarke is not behind Moore or Diskin or Newton Or McIlorum for that fact.

Clearly opinion is divided but I think it is wrong to dismiss the statistics because they do not support your argument. If Clarke is genuinely superiour to Higham, I would have expected one of the statistics to support this.

Finally I thought this debate was what the forum was meant for, rather than it being indicative of going to the knackers yard. It appears that perhaps you have little time for people who do not share your view.

I'd have any of those ahead of Clarke, apart from maybe Newton because of his age.

If you like your stats compare Clarke like for like game for game against all those players mentioned.

you Watched Scott Moore I take it when he played for huddersfield a couple of weeks ago......?

it was one of the worst performances from a player i've seen in a long time he is clearly struggling to cope with his coaches instruction of the flat pass ...pulled for many forward passes from marker, and his defence and distribution piddle poor....

but hey its "slag off one of our own" time, so lets find some more $hit players to rank higher than one of ours......

like I say gone to the knackers yard this place and Steptoe and son are alive and well.....( and living in Latchford it would seem)

Congratulations.

Lefty, maybe your judgement aint what it used to be pal. For instance you were an ardent PC supporter up until he was outsted when it was clear to many he wasn't up to it.

Maybe your doing the same with Clarke then

I have my reservations about all(well other than Morley) players. I do for certain though rate Clarke as a better hooker than Higham.

I didn't think you would bite Lefty Your loyalty is admirable, I salute you but do you think you may be doing the same now with respect to Clarke?

Anyhow, I am quite content with the Higham/Clarke interchange at present it's not a weak area for us when compared with our need for a centre, HB and LF for next season.
