Votes please...

Is this the most predictable poll ever?
Maybe you'd get your point home better if the title was "Is Danny Wilson losing your trust by playing Antwi ahead of Clark?"

In any case I don't feel entitled to vote.

It's not for my benefit. We can only hope that DW reads this or at the very least Ben Clark. A scouser turns up and nicked his place, should have seen that coming really.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2007 10:39 am

Oh in that case if it's a vote against scousers count me in. :laugh:

It's stretching it a bit to call Antwi a scouser mind but necessity is the mother of invention. :wink:

But he's lived there so would undoubtedly have been trained in thievery.

Mr I can you check if there are any Ghana IPs connecting to the site please.

Incidentally, I was watching our dugout during the game last night (well, i was hardly going to be watching the tripe on the pitch) and its so obvious that Clark loves the club. He jumps around like a maniac and you can see he kicks every ball. It would be a travesty if we lose him. We have had many 'triers' over the years who give their all but Ben has ability to go with it.

I know this sounds a bit childish but the longer he stays out of the team the more concerned I am about the manager. Every man and his goat can see Ben should be paired with Nelse again to tighten up our defence.

DW should have the bottle to just breach this term in Antwi's contract, let him go back to the scousers and reinstate Clark. refred

There was nothing 'broke', nothing needed fixing. rant over

I made the point last night that if Antwi was on-loan from a Championship or League 1 side, would wilson still be sticking with him?

Mr Ripper · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2007 11:36 am

I don't think there can be a "must play" clause in his contract cos surely that would be 3rd party involvement similar to all the chew with Carlos Tevez.

But what if the deal is that Liverpool pay his wages when he plays and Pools do if he doesn't?

That could explain things. :evil:

Im pretty convinced that there is such a term in the contract, I have heard this from too many decent sources for it to be complete claptrap. It is going to harm our results unfortunately.

so why has he played every competetive game, when most people think he is not improving the back four ?

Or even positively weakening it!

Salty · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2007 2:51 pm

I too am in agreement

Get Clarkey in!!

Spender · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:37 pm

Now I know I don't go to the games. Soz. :roll:

And I know I'm an old prick ((c)Chip)

And I know we only drew against a team that just missed the play offs last season and appointed a new manager last night just before the game.

And maybe we are only fifth in a league, that everyone says means nothing before ten games are gone. And we're on nine.

And I'm not allowed to mention where I live anyway. :roll:

But aren't big tits great?? :grin:

Come on now, who do you think has voted for Antwi?

Cowboy · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:58 pm

Ok - I voted for Clark - but did anyone else think Antwi had one of his better games for Pools last night?

Mr Irrelevant · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:25 pm **Posts:** 22622

39-1 at the moment. Mad John - statistician extraordinarie, Can we say thats fairly conclusive?

That last one would be Rafa Benitez.

perhaps someones typing finger just slipped at the crucial moment?

Antwi is an excellent player as is Nelson, trouble is that as a pairing the sum is less than the parts. I'd definitely start with Clark + one of the other two.

IMHO we're in the its the sme as the Nelson / collins thing we had a few seasons ago. Nelson needs a fast cleaner upper to function well along the lines of Westwood or that Clark bloke...

Exactly!

But the same as Scotty couldn't see that... :evil:

Godwin Antwi has actually received more Bunker MOTM votes than any other player so far this season, and he has received at least one vote in 7 of the 10 matches so far. Just a comment, and I voted for Ben Clark on this poll, but Antwi has generally done well so far.

The problem with Antwi is that he's either 8 out of 10 and MOM or 3 out of 10 and cost you two goals.

With Ben Clark, you'll always get 7.5 out of 10 and he compliments Nelson's style of play. He's also versatile if anyone gets injured in either defence or the centre of midfield.

I just want to see him given 90 minutes with Nelson at the back (next Tuesday) to prove their partnership and for us to keep another 20+ clean sheets. Is that really much of an ask? :sweeeet:

That's not fair. Asssuming we consider last season's ratings, Ben Clark usually gets 8 out of 10 when he plays (when rated by us lot).

And that just about proves the point methinks.
