Clark Masters

[chris_stfc]

Have you sent him out on loan to another club? I know we Slough wanted him back as he was outstanding for us last year. Went to the Staines match and he did not play?

Clark's going to be a brilliant keeper. He's very good now.

Also read the messages about Charlie Ide who we also had last season. Can't believe some people are comparing him to players like Joe Cole and Jay Tabb!! Charlie will be good, but in a couple of years - he's only 17. He drifts in and out of the game and is more of a poaching goalscorer than anything.

Good luck for the season!

Thank you very much. fill us in on how Masters got on at slough last year please

He should be our number two this season. Id like to replace Nelson with a real quality keeper and Masters on bench but that aint gonna happen. But i think its a waste having Nelson and then taking on someone like Nathan Abbey as well who offers nothing more, id much rather see Masters as sub goalie.

watched masters last pre season against weymouth and he looked very good prospect, have seen abbey play against us quite a few times always thought he was a very poor keeper,maybe we should let masters compete with nelson for number 1 shirt, and forget about abbey, with such a small wage budget can we afford 3 keepers, probaly better spending money on decent replacements for departed players.

I ahve seen masters once at Yeading lst years pre season friendly, and he was so bad, it is un true, but i will give him the benefit of the doubt, on theis one. He cant have got that much better, the other goalie we had lookwed much better to me, his name escapes me, played in the youth cup vs newcastle umonst others last year. Please remind me of his name and where he is now, lads.

Masters will be on the bench for the 1st game :scratch:

Abbey will be playing the 1st game only :scratch:

watched masters last pre season against weymouth and he looked very good prospect

I thought he looked jumpy in that game

However, he's a year older now and more experienced

 

[North London Bee]

Got to be honest if Masters shows some potential in the preseason I would prefer him to play against Blackpool than a superannuated journeyman like Abbey.

However whilst on the one hand I would also be happy for Masters to sit on the bench and challenge Nelson all season, it might be better for his development to get a full season on loan in the Rymans/Conference.

I always felt that Julian should have been given similar experience when he was with us and he might well have developed quicker then.

 

[chris_stfc]

Just to let you know our local paper says that Clark will not be re-joining us on loan this season as he's been told he will be Brentford's number 2 this season.

"Nigel didn't need to convince me of anything. I could already see the quality of staff and play-ers who have come here.

Quote from the Flying Pig At Millwall. Lots of Play-ers apparently.

No shock there then.

 

[SQUELCH]

I bet Masters is well happy that if Nelson gets injured or suspended Leroy has said he would brin someon ein. Done wonders for his confidence.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

He sat next to me today at the training ground late on undoing his boots. He seemed to be a quiet unassuming chap. , but hey if he can do the job between the sticks for the Bees when Nels is injured/suspended then I support him 100%!
