STATS ARE SHITE! XG IS MEANINGLESS DRIVEL! KLAXON!

xG has Clark conceding 5 more goals than the average keeper should this season.

Conceded 5 more than the average keeper last season by the end.

In 18/19 he didn't concede any more than the average keeper. In 17/18 he conceded 2 more. 16/17 he prevented 2 more goals than the average keeper. He's been declining since 18/19 on paper, and I imagine most people would agree with what they've seen.

Mannus prevented 4 more goals in 16/17, then conceded 2 more in 17/18.

He's got away with a few too - 2 on Saturday alone.

I think @Radford's nailed it. He's a bottom-3 keeper in a top-6 side and with a poorer set of CB's in front of him we would have been in more trouble this year. 

New keeper should be very high up the list for the summer, probably a good VFM move as keepers seem to be a relatively cheap upgrade in terms of bang for buck.

I'I know that I've said this before. But Paul Mathers has been with the club around five years now and we created a upgraded position for him presumably with a big increase  in his salary to prevent him going to another club...In his time here I cannot think of any Goalkeeper who has improved under his coaching and neither of our two senior keepers fill me with confidence...

I think the stats back up what the eyes can see here to be honest. Clark is one of the poorer goalkeepers in the league. I'm not saying it to make him a scape goat, I'm just stating a fact.

Its Aberdeen, the only player they have that can actually score is a St Johnstone player. We don't need a keeper.

 

Kerr McCart Gordon

Craig McCann Bryson

Wotherspoon

Rooney Melamed Kane Middleton

 

f**k it, lets go mental and try and score more than one goal

2-2 draw with Rangers the last, home, league game we scored more than 1 goal in.

That was the 2nd last week of February last year.

So what you're saying is, by the law of averages alone, it's bound to happen?

Think we're due a defeat while scoring 2 goals, so a thriller awaits.

Might see a change or two for this one just based on last week, though no idea what the best option is to mix it up. We’ve played Aberdeen three times this season and only come away with a single point which I don’t think is any real reflection on how those games have gone.

Hopefully we can get an absolutely nonsensical penalty decision in our favour this time... If there are changes they’ll be in the front three (unless Davidson is somehow back fit to play in Craig’s place).

Clark

Kerr Gordon McCart

Rooney McCann Craig Booth

Melamed Kane/May Conway/Wotherspoon/Middleton

Take your pick up top really...
