Getting professional-level players taking professional-level shots at you on a good pitch in good facilities is hard to do during a time when all the actual professional players are off being professional players. 15 minutes ago, Bazzas right boot said: Fair, but he's just got a new born and in my experience that Is difficult. Clark is also a very good keeper. He'll want and need some game time. I think Clark will play v RFS. I can't remember, did he sign just before or just after the European deadline? Is he eligible for RFS? I was thinking he'd go in against County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithian Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Saw they're worried about Zander's fitness after so much time in individual training. Am I out of mind for thinking it should be considered loaning him out in January, unless Gordon really dips in form? Surely there are some competitive clubs in Scotland or England that would like to have him as a first choice starter in a promotion push or relegation escape. Zander Clark is a veteran. He isn't a developmental player. Should Gordon retires after this season, I'd prefer not to go into next season with Clark having only a handful of starts over the past 15-16 months.

You could use that argument for any sub keeper. Agreed perhaps Thursday isn't the time but I don't see any reason why he couldn't play Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note, I think keeping a keeper ready is easier than s player especially in regards to shot stopping. Ofc, decision making etc might be a bit slower, but if a keeper can save shots and boot the ball 90 yards he's 90% of the way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Has Clark been playing any 'reserve' games? A lot of keepers get no first team games for a long time then have to start for various reasons. 'Tis the nature of goalkeeping. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churchill Barrier Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ir is very difficult to play at your best when not had games, shot stopping is instinctive and no real problem, its timing, decision making, positioning, reading the game in front of you, knowing your defence, knowing when to let them deal with a cross ball etc quite a lot to it. Of course he is a very good keeper and wouldn't take a lot of games for it to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in against Celtic and Rangers and make him the sacrificial lamb? Send him to Istanbul? Put him in for an early SC game? Unless we signed him for his skills at washing the towels, he'll need to go in at some point! Yes we sit him on the bench. At a time we are leaking goals and have our centre half partnership out replacing our best and most experienced player, not to mention captain for a boy thats never played higher than St Johnstone and hasn't played football for months because he couldnt get a club is frankly ludicrous. We signed him as back up. Keep him as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon OOt is a bit much. It's the central of defence that is the issue I think that's actually the point. With 1st choice Centre Backs Craig stays on his line and they deal with it. The argument could be that Clark, who comes for crosses, would be the choice with a shooglie defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager would be inviting a lot of criticism(like Robbie needs any more of that!) if he drops the club captain/first choice goalkeeper then we don't win the game and lose out on most of that money. Sunday would be a possibility for Zander Clark, depending where he is fitness wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
