  • Goal yesterday

    Leon Clarke left the man he was marking and then turned his back on the same player when he should have closed him down again to make up for his mistake in the first place. Shocking defending as Alan Hansen would say.
    Haven't heard or seen it mentioned but there was a Norwich matey at least 15 yards offside for the sending off. :rage:
    First game ; QPR 1 Bolton Wanderers 3, Saturday 2nd December 1978.

    He isn't a defender and has no real defensive ability.

    Look at how Gorkss threw himself to block the 1st attempt. Hill and Derry have both blocked a number of attempts in similar style in other games. If Clarke had done somthing similar he could have blocked, it, but instead turned his back to the ball and all he achieved was to block Kenny's view.

        It was terrible defending, he was ball-watching and completely lost sight of his man. Still; great finish for the goal.

          Shouldn't that be. He isn't a footballer and has no real footballing ability.
