I hope Ollie Clarke is taken out of the team now, and between Lines and Lawrence I hope they keep him out until his contract runs out. The apparent hated for OC seems a bit harsh given he had a very good game last week, at the end of the day if we play 5 across the middle then OC is really the only player who can play the deep holding midfield role. Mansell would do it better then 3 Ollie Clarkes imo, and for me it's not just an opinion of his footballing ability, I don't like him as a person either frankly

Never met him in person but seems pleasant enough from his interviews.

i think the managers selection was spot on,basically picking the same team that played so well last week[except gaffney],, im not a fan of ollie clarke but he did have a superb game last week so it wouldnt be right to start with lawrence imo,,,obviously dc wanted more of the same from ollie which from your report clearly didnt happen,but its easy to say things about selection in hindsight i reckon.

Henbury Gas, Sorry but I should have pointed out it would have been a 0 but for his Blue Blood!! Conference footballer at best and would struggle to get in most Conference teams other than on his odd good days like last week. Only reason he has to make full bloodied tackles is because he is so far off his player as the game passes him by it is unbelievable however you are entitled to your opinion but I would prefer to watch the cameo appearances of both Lawrence and Easter yesterday. We looked a much better team when we had quality on the pitch and personally would have taken off Leadbitter and Ollie Clarke for starters. At the end of the day its all about opinions and of coursed DC's is the most important one. I've never been convinced of Ollie Clarke except for recently. He's looking better usually every time I see him. So he seems to have had a bad game - Lines has had some poor games this year, mansell had a dip in form just before the end of the season. Not to be written off. However, your criticism of Clarke is correct. His main fault is, and has always been ball watching as players move through him. Quite often I have seen this too. In addition, he loses the ball more frequently than he should. His best attributes are his tackling, shooting and he can be good on the ball at times, and he works hard. He's also quite physically strong and can put himself about.

Agree with Topper and Tbone - Ollie may have had a shocker but the criticism from many seems a bit over the top given that the consensus opinion was that he had an excellent game the week before. One poor game later and he is not a league player? Very harsh. He's got some learning to do but there's definitely something there.
