Love it how when he was playing for us 99% on here said he is a liability he needs dropping etc.

Now he gone and got a club and that clubs fans come and ask for an opinion and the same people say not a bad signing mate gives everything etc..



Only on the fishy.


At least with Shaun P  & him playing in the same league you'll be able to compare them

Slow , didn’t care and a really really squeaky voice . He was also full cliches in interviews . Oh and had chippie mammaries


Any need to get personal?

May be limited ability wise at this stage of his career but always gave his all in the black and white shirt!!

I don’t think he did mate and yes he was fat and that was why he was slow. Massively personal but so what !

Honest view:

Dreadful until the run-in.   Actually very decent in the air, especially if the ball is put within ten feet of his head.  But lack of movement made him very, very limited.  I thought he was a terrible captain and spent far too much of his time pointing at other players rather than working on his own short-comings.

In the run-in he was fine, was actually pretty flawless once he came back in the side after the Lincoln game.

Looking back, he was in a side that clearly did no work on defending at set-pieces (or at all really).  He was paired with Danny Collins who isn't the quickest himself.  Collins can get away with his lack of pace because of his exceptional reading of game, Clarke doesn't have that and it was a bad move pairing them together.  Not only was he in a poor defence but he was also in a poor side that just invited pressure all the time.  The run-in proved just how he can operate if he's in a defence that has been coached and some sort of order drilled in.

Am I disappointed he's gone?  Not at bit.  But hindsight is wonderful and now easier to see that there was a lot of other factors (namely Slade and his sheer incompetence) that made him look worse than he was.

Against the stereotypical Conference brute defenders, he'll be fine.  Just has to have some pace alongside him because he will be exposed with anyone who can run.

Think he gave away 4-5 penalties last season including derby game from being too slow or rash,but having said that there wasn’t many times he got beat in the air and he did improve last few games will be a decent enough signing for you

All about opinions I suppose fella. I always thought he tried but admittedly I only got to around 15 or 20 games last season.

Halifax sounds to be a good place to have his last tango, all the best Nathan.
