He started against Stockport and we won. Won on penalties against Derby in the B Team Pizza Trophy. We were drawing when he went off yesterday.
His record's not great though
Started 11 Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 9

If we could play with 12 players with someone covering his defensive duties then he’d be ok.

I wouldn't score any of the starting 11 below a 7 yesterday.
I thought Akins, Hewitt, Maris, Lapslie & Quinn were all excellent.
My only complaint yesterday would have been the timing of the subs. Tough to make changes when we were playing well, but fresh legs in midfield attack before the equaliser may have prevented the attack from building in the 1st place.
That was my main gripe really. You could see we were starting to look leggy, and as soon as they started to throw on fresh legs, it should have prompted Nigel to do the same just to see the result out.
Quinny hardly ever completes a full 90, so I was expecting him to be taken off at around the same time Wednesday started to change it. I was shocked he did the full game in the end.
I’ve noticed this trait in Clough tactics… for me when playing well against a good side controlling the game, when they make changes you have to react and make equal changes to stop the impetus moving to the opposition… clough seems to let it happen and then makes the changes when opposition scores… i said yesterday when bannan came on we needed changes fast or it’ll be a long last 15…not rocket science. Letting them score before changes way too late…they cheered like they’d scored when bannan and the striker came on that should have been the warning
Who would you have brought on to counter Bannan and Smith? Clarke I would argue but he wasn't available.

We much better suit a back four with a midfielder providing cover in front of each full back.

not to mention it leaves us wanting two CBs instead of one in January

Tippy Tappy Football wrote:I agree Sam. Kellan Gordon went past Alex Mighten very easily to get crosses in and he did very little going forward.
I had to laugh when some Wednesday fans thought Kellan Gordon was very dirty and was fouling Alex Mighten.
They also thought George Lapslie kept diving.
Wednesday fans were very rattled by our team and fans. We definitely got under their skin. It was a shame Stephen Quinn could not have scored the winner at the end of the 1st half.

The new Danny Rose!
Danny Rose has scored 8 goals to George Lapslie's 7
