Clarke is absolutely brilliant. I’m amazed there are people who think otherwise. VDB has potential but Clarke is the standout at the minute. At times it is like he is defending by himself.

A lot depends on the player. If a decent bid comes in, which I imagine would be in the region of £15m, and the player expresses a desire to leave then we won’t force him to stay. As previously mentioned, we might try to persuade him to give us another season. I’m fairly convinced that part...

😆 Every player in the Championship is capable of playing that ball. I’m not knocking it or anything, I just think it was a fairly straight forward ball for him. Lath was on his way, their line was high. Put it in behind, job done.

Of course that is the answer. If you get the choice between selling your players or promotion then you pick promotion, but it’s not a choice unfortunately. The aim is obviously to go up but I think we are doing the right thing by prioritising our financial footing at the moment. Last year’s...

Every player at that level can.

You are right, he messed it up but still managed to rifle it home from a tough angle and with his weaker foot.

He has floated a ball in behind for a speed merchant to run on to. I’d be very disappointed if I messed that up with my weak foot.

Any footballer at that level should be able to knock a ball in behind like that, in all fairness,

Jones made a mess of it. Wrong corner and just didn’t strike it well at all, which isn’t a great surprise coming from him. I do love him by the way 😆

I thought he was poor as well. He just ran about a lot without doing a great deal. As you say, clearly he is a good player, and it was hard for anyone to shine for us in that season, but I really wasn’t having him.

I’m not sure if it’s still the case but a couple of years ago we had produced the second most championship players in the country, Man United were first. Even producing lads who go on to play for Spennymoor shouldn’t be seen a failure, that’s a harsh word to use. They’re going on to do what...
