Dare we go the whole hog?

38, we've all been there on cold wet nights. I actually enjoy em but I would far rather be in this position compared to 10 yrs ago or be run by a corrupt f#@ker such as Ridsdale or Bates

From my point of view, there are still significant issues with the way the team is managed, no consistancy in selection, no plan 'B' when it goes wrong, negative tactics instead of killing teams off, all discussed at great length elsewhere over the last year or more, that said the blame is not all at Clarks door, but his lack of control or motivation of certain players is there for all to see (Clark waving UP the field Clarke pulling them back just one example). I don't care if he stays or goes, but if he stays he needs to make sure he is in charge and get the team following HIS instructions........

Sommer,

With all due respect their can't be much wrong with Clark if he can guide his team through a 25 match unbeaten league run and end up with 87 points can they? - or am I missing something?

Yes something between your lugs

Hydra,

Speaking from experience are you?

I'm hopefull that LC has learned a few things from last season, and I'm sure his advisers are telling him the same things as are mentioned on here...he's not a one man band and I don't think he is surrounded by yes men either...so he'll be aware of the shortcomings of last year and I have no doubt next season we'll see an improved performance

I don't think LC is a fool, but he and his team of coaches need to get the message into the players heads assuming of course he can get together a group of players capable of doing as he asks.

Part of me says there were one or two players who wanted to do their own thing last season, and you can't have that in a team game.

I've been as critical as anyone of the style and standard last season and equally amazed at how we managed to get so close to promotion with so many dire performances.

However, I'll be giving him another chance and supporting and much as usual, for the time being....

If Clarky is now starting his 3rd full season with us, and bookies runner Terry MaC came to help him in his first job as "Gaffer", I have to ask the question when does this help be no deemed as no longer required ?
I have said all along that Clark needs help, but the help he has recieved from TM does not seem to have been succesfull ie - tactics, team selection and the ability to influence a game from the touchline.
Does Clark need an old head over him ? rather than one under/alongside him ?

Have to agree, not sure he has been blessed with the best help and there sure has been a lot of it, but he is the one in the hot seat and should be man enough to recognise his weaknesses and bring in the right support he needs to overcome them. Like I said way up I don't necessarily want rid, but equally I don't want to hear in 8 months time "oh well we lost some of our best players and I am rebuilding........blah blah"

We lost those players PARTLY because we failed but of course come may next year that will have been a very long time ago. But it was still failure anf I have seen enough of this league, and other teams getting out whilst we sit around slapping ourselves on the back for a 25 match unbeaten run. I said some time ago in another place I could almost accept Ritchie or Turnip because at least then I knew we were rubbish and did not have three years of hype from the club, countless players coming and going, free T-shirts and clappers and Carlisle away agian........
