Clinton did score for Sheffield Wednesday today but he wasn't in the starting XI today and only came on when they were already 4-0 up. He got his goal in the 93rd minute. I would have agreed with you at the start of Trap's reign but I think Clinton's chance is long gone at this stage.
He's a target man, he's not meant to be tracking back. By waiting up the pitch he gives the defence an option to boot it out to him, and in an ideal world he can hold it up long enough to win a free kick. And I don't remember Quinner having a great first touch. He's there cos he offers something different. He wins headers, he wins free kicks, and he is the kind of player defenders hate playing against.Quote:

It all depends though.
Good luck to the lad, but he's clearly not even close to the finished article. Are we to believe that he is better than Stokes (Celtic got rid of Sheridan and are ready to pay three times the figure they got for him for Stokes - so there's at least one club and its coaches who think Stokes is the better player - but his goals should tell us that anyway) and Walters?
I honestly think that since Brady left the set up there is a serious disconnect in translation and experience of the English League between Trap and Tardelli and the players they pick.

It's not exactly an insult - GD scored some important goals under Kerr.Quote:

That's a big head he's got.

Само две минути по-късно ирландецът Килиън Шеридън вкара трети гол във вратата на Георгиев, след като бе точен с глава от 6 – 7 метра.
Just two minutes later the Irishman Cillian Sheridan scored the third goal in the door Georgiev after being accurate with the head of 6-7 meters.
Once he settles in, I'd love to hear his thoughts on what it's like to play so far out of his comfort zone. It may be part of the EU, but having been in the country a couple of times (albeit for a skiing holiday) large parts of it are very barren, very bleak. I've never been to Sofia though so perhaps it's a bit more pleasant.
Have to disagree with you regarding Quinn. May not have had a great touch at the start, but his touch became fantastic as he got older.Quote:

I think it was a brave decision by him to move to Sofia but it was a decision that indicates a level of ambition and determination to succeed. I hope the move works out for him and it's certainly encouraging for his future international prospects that he has quickly established himself as first choice with his new club.
Took it well but jaysis he'd an acre of space
Make of that what you will?!Quote:
Black Sea midfielder Yordan Yurukov claims the judge spoke of the match with CSKA Ahmed Ahmed. According Yurukov striker Cillian Sheridan CSKA hit a ball without a defender of "sailors".
"An Inconvenient loss. Stand well and missed many chances. If we had inserted them we would win. Sheridan hit our defender without the ball, but the side judge make it sees. There are videos and this can be seen," said Yurukov.</span>
