You mean David Clarkson? Who scored 7 in 29 appearances? 'splain how. FFS, why is everyone picking me up for hating on our players? I barely recognise this forum anymore. Things have changed. Hating on players can only really be done if you start a new thread entitled Ellis Harrison.

I think you are attacking the wrong players. DC is another one who would give us a shift. He was played out of position out wide in a team with no pace when he has little himself.

When Clarkson started a match he was blowing out of his arse by 60 mins. He simply wasnt fit. Again, a basic requirement for a footballer. If he was played out of position then you have to assume that it was because he hasn't done enough to impress the manager that he's good enough to start in his preferred position don't you?

Given the management at the time then I would question their judgement anyway.

Who do you hate most,vegans or forest green? I don't hate either. I have no problems with people being vegan it's their choice and Forest Green are of no significance to me, as someone else stated they are not are rivals so I couldn't care less about them. My problem is their owner Mr Stale Mince, I saw a programme on them on HTV or Sky I can't remember which. Stale just try's to ram the whole vegan thing down everyone's throats, from electric cars, sustainable engery to vegan food for all the staff can you imagine how that would go down at the Mem? I know everyone moans about the pies / pasties but it would cause a meltdown if we weren't allowed them in the stadium! Jon Parkin how the hell did he sustain that frame eating a few nut rissoles? Probably burger kings best customer after training. So Mr Mince get on with trying to save the planet on your own and leave us pasty lovers alone! I take your point about forcing his views on others through the football club,i wouldnt like that myself. Not so sure about the "local rivals" thing though?

I think he did look like scoring though, he just didn't have any luck and it didn't go in for him. It would be ridiculous to say that if he had more luck then he would've score 15-20 goals, but he could've quite easily had a couple had fortune been on his side. And sometimes one or two goals is all it takes for someone to regain a bit of form and find their scoring boots again. I agree, someone should've offered him the chance to take a pen to get him off the mark. Who knows what deluge of goals may have followed? He did have a pen at home, one of the worst pens I've seen. Hit it straight down the middle into the goalkeepers arms. You could tell he was gunna miss as he ran up. His confidence was shot.

I'm not really sure why we praise players for putting in 100% effort. Shouldn't that be an absolute minimum requirement anyway? Just caught up with this thread. Yes Hugo you are right in principal but come on like me you've probably seen enough Rovers players over the years who couldn't give a monkeys, took the wages and took the whatsit. They didn't try and seemed totally unaffected if we went down or went out of the league! My point was he tried hard and gave 100%. But he's gone and we move on. Nottsheadgas and Okebourne sum it up pretty well imo. UTG!

Truth be told, I don't rate James and I'm glad we haven't signed him. He worked hard and gave his best but to me he rarely looked like scoring despite a good run in the side. I may have been slightly exaggerating other opinions for the purpose of satire, however I feel my efforts may have been wasted.

We will get in a better striker.
