Quoted from chaos33


Clarke has made some errors, but he has played hundreds of games at a higher level than Pearson will ever play. I loved Shaun Pearson, but Clarke is a class above his level, even if he isn't showing that in some respects. Meanwhile, Pearson is playing for a middling conference team in the prime of his career.


I take your point but Clarke is past his prime and regardless of how many games he has played at a higher level, that means nothing when you see how he is playing now. Pearson showed improvements every season he was with us and would certainly have benefited from another season alongside Collins.

Too early to tell with Clarke he could turn out like Collins and prove he has a bit left in the tank or he could turn out like Paul Raven or Steve Chettle both experienced centre backs who proved far past their best when signing for us. We will wait and see which it is to be.

Whichever it is given our defences ages I imagine it's a short term fix and there is likely to be a big turnover again next year.
