According to someone who will be here in the summer? Struggling to think who that might be for definite!fenlandaddick said:Won't be here after the summer. Not seen as good enough for midfield , and doesn't have the attributes for RB. Good at carrying the ball out, end product is not consistent enough in opposition half.Does a job, but not quite at the level we need.1 -
Would definitely want to keep him, but mainly as a squad player! Always good to have a versatile player on the bench.1

He won't be here in the summer because the club is a dysfunctional morale-sapping basket case and he will be very happy to escape like many others will.
Staggers me that he gets stick when we have the likes of Penney and Kirk on the books plus others who have hardly contributed anything.
If we had a half-decent left-back, our very decent right-back could play in his proper position and Clare could play alongside Dobson and Fraser in his proper position. He may not be perfect but he would be a big upgrade on Payne/Morgan and other raffle winners.
The fact is the season is effectively over and we still don't have a solid left back and that is not the fault of Sean Clare.7 -
Always liked Clare. Seems to be one of the few who is always involved in the game. Great energy and also technically very good too IMO.Multiple problems in the squad but he isn’t one.7

Dozey bastard is at it againMin 31: tries to take a throw in when the lino gave a corner

Min 49. Plymouth player facing their own goal and Calre gave him a nice outlet…Chunes said:

Ha wish I’d thought of that.0

He's 26, if he was a "big upgrade" in central midfield he'd be established there by now. He'd be just as ordinary as Morgan there.grumpyaddick said:He won't be here in the summer because the club is a dysfunctional morale-sapping basket case and he will be very happy to escape like many others will.

It's not his fault but if he's part of a top 6 club he'd be versatile cover on the bench at best.
He's a great example of Thomas and Martin thinking they're being clever in the transfer market and picking out undervalued players. The problem is he's not someone who's going to develop and step up to the level above.
As decent as he has been when things are going well there's no doubt the money spent on fees and wages on Clare, Kirk, Lavelle etc could have been spent far better.0 -
I think Clare cares, I think he is the sort of player who gives 100% each game, and he has periods and moments of real quality.
But on the whole he is not a consistently good enough player to be starting in a team who want to get out of this league.9 -
He is not a defender, he doesn't think like a defender, he doesn't position himself correctly, he rarely gets close enough and gets in a block, he either doesn't mark at all or if he does he doesn't get tight enough.
He's ok charging forward when he's spontaneous and doesn't have to think.
A squad player at best, which is what he was at mid table Oxford U.11 -
I thought his best spell was as a 'ball playing' centre back in a three. Maybe the return of Egbo ( or maybe Kane) might give him another Opportunity in that role.Covered End said:He is not a defender, he doesn't think like a defender, he doesn't position himself correctly, he rarely gets close enough and gets in a block, he either doesn't mark at all or if he does he doesn't get tight enough.

In a thin field, I thought he was one of our better players today.1

What does he actually bring to the pitch that effects the team positively in any way?1

That’s harsh. He is very good at bringing the ball out from the back with his dribbling. Gets us up the field often. His problem is he can’t cross, which is why 3rd Centre back might be his best position as he can do that and then not have to cross it afterwards.Sam_777 said:What does he actually bring to the pitch that affects the team positively in any way?He’s also a pretty good covering defender, he’s quick and can make a last ditch tackle. Which is helpful as he’s often out of position2 -
Clare POTY so far …. like to see him in as one of the 3 in centre mid alongside Fraser ..7

I like Clare and he was deserving of 2nd place last season. But this season at the very least he’s behind Dobson, Rak-Sakyi, Fraser, Leaburn and SessegnonRonnieMoore said:Clare POTY so far …. like to see him in as one of the 3 in centre mid alongside Fraser ..2 -

I quite like Clare, but maybe third or fourth. I’d rate Dobbo and Ness above him (and Rak Sak). Definitely above Fraser though. He’s really lost form over the last four or five games.RonnieMoore said:Clare POTY so far …. like to see him in as one of the 3 in centre mid alongside Fraser ..0 -

Finding the Clare hate really bizarre when there is an army of better candidates.3

He definitely isn’t isn’t at the level we need, but he is definitely at the level we are at. And I don’t see that changing for a couple of years.fenlandaddick said:Won't be here after the summer.
