Quote from: Compass on September 18, 2011, 07:49:22 PMHe cannot tackle, has no pace, goes down too easily, can't read the ball correctly and finds himself out of position alot. It appears he enjoys hoofing the ball way too much that's the worst out of the lot. How can he pick up so much wages every week without having any guilt that he has no football ability? Why is it he always starts in our team but can't get off the Wales bench? He always looks lost and hopeless on the pitch. I couldn't disagree more. He's good in the tackle, has deceptive pace, is rarely beaten in the air, throws himself at everything and isn't afraid to stride forward if he has to. He isn't McGrath, but no one is. He plays well with Dunne, and he gives everything for the Villa. As much as I rate Clark for the future, I'd no way start him ahead of Collins right now.

I think he's a great CB and partners Dunne effectively.
He's the least-skillful half of a centre-back duo. See also Chris Nicholl, Ken McNaught, Shaun Teale. What was the point of them?
