Shyster 0 Posted August 21, 2008 On reflection this is actually bad news ''cause it means we''ll still have the ineffective duo of Fotheringham & Clingan in central midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

San Miguel 0 Posted August 21, 2008 my asssessment of Clingan so far is that he has been ineffective - can anyone point out one thing he has actually done that was positive for the team?too similar to Fotheringham to play both, and for some stupid reason both are preferred to Russelli''d prefer him to be injured so Russell can remind everyone what they are missing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO Clingan is one of the most effective new signings - steady and calmer on the ball than Fotheringham and can make a good pass after defending. Quite a different player from Russell, who I think is better going forward. I would agree however that both are better than Fotheringham. Think Clingan is going to be very good for the side - I''m so glad GR signed him and not Grant - otherwise he''s probably not get a look in...!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peartreeproductions 0 Posted August 21, 2008 [quote user="BunnyB"]good news - link[/quote]Less like good news and more like indifferent news. I agree with a few of the posters; in sofar as I cannot see what Clingan gives us that Fozzy doesnt already (although Fozzy isnt playing very well at the moment. I also wonder how Roeder intends to accomodate Hoolahan into the midfield (which I think he must) as he plays just off the front two, doesnt track that effectively and we are effectively playing 4-3-1-2 when he is playing. i dont think that a midfield with Clingan and Fozzy is suited to that - I think we need one of Rusty or Pattison (cant believe I am saying this!) in the midfield to mop up.

ca 1 Posted August 22, 2008 Good news because I think he''ll do a good job for us especially if he''s played alongside Rusty. [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kissthebadge 0 Posted August 22, 2008 I really like this guy; so composed on the ball. All our good movement and attacks seemed to go through him on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LORD FOXY LOWE 0 Posted August 22, 2008 Good, now drop fozzy, and play Russell, he''ll drive the midfield forwards as opposed to sideways! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 754 Posted August 22, 2008 According to the Pinkun, Clingan is expected to be fit and also he is a massive doubt [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted August 22, 2008 Well done Archant, yesterday he was fit and would probably be playing at Cardiff but today he''s a massive doubt, are the club still not communicating with you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I''d not take the risk and would play Russell alongside Fozzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoodace76 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Marshall for me, we would be even lower than we are if it wasn''t for him and some superb keeping.....Get a solid back four and he would have half the work to do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
