Did they score ? Was any difficult save made ? In fact prior to the 1990s the basic diving save he made would have been classed as a poor save as he didnt hold onto the ball 😃 Belshaw did his job well on saturday but didnt do anything spectacular. Exactly, they were sh**e in front of goal. Nichols should have buried his header and Nadesan should have buried the one on one when he tamely shot at the keeper when it was easier to score. Numerous other chances too. Why did Clarke score his headed goal but Nichols not ? From literally the same position. Apparently it wasnt easier to score.

seemed to be sustainable over 46 matches. Slightly easier to do when you have one of the best strikers in the league? yes he was everywhere in goal defence and a tiger in midfield. Even when he was out injured

If someone said, their Team went 1 up, ran their socks off to protect their lead, defence put everything on the line, Keeper made some great saves, one of the back 4 won MOTM, would you say the opposition were unlucky? Alternatively if someone said their team had more than double the amount of shots, more than double the amount of shots on target, double the amount of corners and more possession, would you say the opposition played well? Well you might and do, but most wouldn't. I'd say we didn't put our chances away. You're obviously a "we won, but they weren't that good", " we deserved to lose" sort of poster. God knows how you enjoy yourself.

Don't bother, we're lucky when we win, deserve it when we lose. He'll never be happy.

I think we can all agree that performances need to improve if we have any aim to get back to L1, and over time I expect them to. We especially cant expect the opposition to miss a number of sitters every game

He'll never be happy. I'll be happy when we start playing well and winning games. I enjoyed the win against Crawley, not the performance. Not difficult to understand (for most people).

Because Clarke is a finisher with over 130 goals at a higher level and Nichols isn't. So Rovers had a better scorer than crawley had keeper/defence. And Rovers had a better keeper/defence than crawley had scorers. Thats why Rovers won.

He'll never be happy. The desire for perfection is in all of us, understanding limitations , seeing beyond the obvious isnt. Im more than happy that pirate has high standards ,long may it continue.

And Rovers had a better keeper/defence than crawley had scorers. Thats why Rovers won. We won because Crawley were sh**e infront of goal and managed to miss sitters that virtually every other side would have buried. Several sitters from the superior anmount of possession they had and double amount of shots and shots on target they created than us. A welcome win in a poor performance. Hopefully it will be good win on saturday with a good performance.

Admittedly a couple of seasons ago, but this show reel indicates Clarke's ability in front of goal.
Goals against City at Brammall Lane and Ashton Gate to bookend the video as well!!

Clarke, like Pitman, should score goals at this level if you put the ball in the right areas and play to their strengths. The header vs Crawley a perfect example.
