Matt Clarke!

Agree with everyone else, super debut and against the perfect team who mistakenly thought they could come and play an expansive game against our formation in our own backyard
Not going to happen.
On another day we’d of spanked them for 5 or 6.

Reality check though, our MASSIVE nemesis is teams who sit off us and soak up any possession we have and when they win it back they hit it behind our Wing backs and pour forwards in front of their own fans.

Go a goal up and we’ve been found wanting.
Watford and Sunderland will do exactly that so big tests once again which we failed at QPR, Stoke and reading alongside numerous other away games last term.
This is where wilder couldn’t or wouldn’t alter the team shape to counter another manager doing a number on us.
Sunderland I agree with no doubt

But I’d argue about Watford esp at home I think they’ll try and out play us similar to Swansea as they think they are the dominant side. So I fancy us on Tuesday night.
 
He was brilliant. Reads the game really well and a no-nonsense defender. I feel we may have three of them now in McNair, Lenihan and Clarke - this trio could be perfect for us going forward. Hopefully we're now going to finally have a settled defence.

He also spoke well after the game and came across as very humble. Clearly not a bit time charlie despite coming from the Premier League.
