The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

This is going to the last game I can just feel it.

If you project forward sherwoods results we'll finish on 42 I think. Project forward our last 8 league results and it will be 34

We need some of these 'injured' players back! Still need Vlaar if he could only get fit. I think we'll survive.

[ROBBO]

Agree with this still believe Vlar to be our best centreman even though Clark has been stoic over the last few weks. I hope we can Senderos back as well made us look solid at the back.

Not sure Vlaar wants to be fit for us.

Clark has been good, but he should have been a lot stronger when he and Gomis were heading towards our goal yesterday. Get a commanding centre back next to him and he could turn out to he really useful for us. We need a beast next to him though.

Glad you said it first Newby...I love Clark, but there was no doubt Gomis got in front of him for the goal yesterday, and stayed there over some distance. Writing was on the wall too from Montero who had already had a few good strong runs down the left that Bacuna couldn't deal with...which I think Hutton would have had he played in his proper position.
With a bit more coaching I think Okore is that beast you think we need.

[Toronto Villa]

Vlaar when fit is better than Okore. Okore is still very much learning the game, a bit like Clark a couple of seasons back. Vlaar and Clark are our best two CB's.

Clark kept us at 0/0 by HT, great goaline block

The break is coming just at the right time for TS and the coaches to work some more magic with improving players and for injured players to be re assimilated.

Everything crossed for survival after this weekend when other results have gone our way.

C'mooooon!

[Steve67]

I like Okore, but his positioning is sometimes poor. In absolute no man's land for their goal yesterday, just by way of an example. He just needs more time at this level I guess, but with Vlaar on his bike, we need to bring someone in anyway. Might as well be a beast!! 😁

Clark kept us at 0/0 by HT, great goaline block

Yes, correct. But push came to shove with the goal and he should have been stronger. Good player, doing well, but still learning the dirty bits of the game.

Their goal was not Clarks fault at all.

[Steve67]

Win as a team, lose as a team. I am not blaming Clark for the goal. I am simply stating that he should/could have been stronger in preventing Gomis from getting to the ball ahead of him.great pass from Routledge, even better ball in from Montero. Poor defending from Bacuna, Okore and, unfortunately, for the otherwise reliable, Clark.

To be fair to Clark he will come up against front men that are stronger than him. Gomis being one. Okore and Bacuna spent large parts of the game bouncing off Gomis like a rag doll. I think it were more a case that we just got caught out be a swift counter. I can't fault Clark too much on it, after all without him we'd have been dead and buried by that point. He's barely put a foot wrong all season...which given last season has been a remarkable turn around. He started the season 5th choice.
