His finish was fantastic considering it was with his weaker foot and showed great composure as well. Something McLean lacked with his chance in the first half where he just twatted it as hard as he could. McClean didn't have the space and time Why single him out over say Campbell's cow kick ? McClean could've easily picked his spot, it was the best chance of the game other than the goals. Also, I'm singling him out because McClean consistently goes for power with every chance he gets when he doesn't have to.

I hope Clucas stays. He comes across as a bit of a knob but you can see the quality and 11 goals in this shit show of a team is a real achievement. You get the feeling that if we could get some better players around him and get some good results together and have confidence flowing through the team and supporters that he could really shine in this division.

A lot of older Stokies may see a touch of Peter Dobing in Clucas.he is a GAME watcher, not a ball watcher. He see's space to move into to receive the ball, and is capable of attacking with the ball, or finding an unmarked man.He's deceptive, like Dobing was, and hard to push off the ball.I'm happy to see him as captain as wouldn't turn my nose up at McLean. With McLean, there'd be plenty of action or plenty of bollockings. Agree about his performance yesterday,very good but if he becomes even half of the player that Peter Dobing was then we will have a good player on our hands.

If we can hold on to him for next year, we could be looking at 15 goals from him (I know that’s a stretch but we if we have better players around him and attack more) and 20 from Campbell. That’s a huge amount of goals that could push us into play off from a top half team based on form since MON came in.

This will be controversial but I'd rather keep Clucas than Allen next season.
I think we could probably still get £8-£10 mill for Allen and I'd like to see that money reinvested into the team.
Allen likes to charge off all over the place and I think having a proper DCM like Cousins (or even better Badou) sitting, allows Clucas to go and do his thing.
In a 4231, I'm not sure that Allen and Clucas make an ideal pairing behind Powell.

Does it not make you dislike Clucas even more given that he is clearly capable of producing performances like he did yesterday but in the main, he simply can't be arsed? I'm not bothered if he stays or goes which is a pretty ridiculous state of affairs when he's a midfielder with double figures in goals to his name.

Clucas like Powell has a football brain and has scored some great strikes this season. We have some decent quality at the top end of the pitch. It's the goalkeeper and the back four that has really held us back this season. I would like to see a young good quality CB brought in this summer as well as a decent left back. Butland can fuck off along with BMI. Hopefully get a fee for Etebo and maybe Ndiaye. Then bring in a physical central midfielder.

Clucas is typical of the issues we have had for years, turns up when he wants & goes missing when the chips are down. There is talent but you can see plain as day that its attitude which has meant most of his career has been in the football league. Thinks he is way better than he is. Can be a real good player on his day but spends way to many games hiding for me

Given the captains armband and needing to be stand up to be counted yesterday and he proved he can do it. Quite why he (and the rest of them) don't dig in so often is anyone's guess.

11 goals from a midfield player is the reason we probably/possibly won't get relegated. He's my POTS and I reckon the captaincy will add even more to his game. Clucas is definitely a player Michael O'Neil will want to build his team around.

Up and down player, but probably our biggest overall contributor across the season.
He was fantastic yesterday, and often is fairly instrumental when we win. He’s much more of an impactful player in the middle than Allen is for my money.

Well I do but it shouldn’t be. It’s been pretty obvious for some time it’s what we need to do.

Yeah I think it's a bit like that Gerrard and Lampard thing for England, much as managers (and supporters) wanted it to work, it just didn't. Same with Clucas and Allen. A solid DCM partnering Clucas, with Powell in front, is a midfield to build a side around and Allen is also easily our most saleable asset. I suspect O'Neill will have absolutely no intention of selling Joe though.

I’m one of clucas’s biggest critics but Credit it where’s it’s due he was very good yesterday, it’s the most complete performance of the season from him and he was motm for me
The work rate and determination was very encouraging, However I’m not holding my breath as I’ve seen so many horrific can’t be arsed mard arse performances, so we shall see

Our top scorer has scored again. 11 goals from MF in a side that spent most of last season threatened with relegation is surely going to attract someone from the top flight to want him?

The good news is clubs up there who would want him, e.g. Burnley couldn't match his wages. Obviously if someone who can comes in we have a problem

I’m sure he typed ‘but I won’t go over them again’😱 That must be a coded message to indicate he’s been kidnapped or something. Should we call the police? Bayern would never voluntarily give up the opportunity to go over and over and over.......anything. 😉 Would he?
