📊 In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a stat…

Matt Clarke made 1️⃣7️⃣ defensive contributions in the first half vs Norwich.

🗣️ Eustace: “He’s top drawer defending the box and, you know, we're very lucky to have him.”

Bold isn’t the Steve Clarke way unfortunately.

In the one hand, that we’re saying this says a lot about the performance, but got to be throwing Gannon Doak into the starting XI and let McTominay and Robertson attack again long-term.

Goal-scoring and crossing respectively their best attributes.

Some may feel as though this was an opportunity missed. Realistically, that will not be the mindset of Steve Clarke.

But that this is being discussed tells you just how well Scotland did.

With big plans for the website too, my aim is to make this a home of fair analysis and civilised debate. You know, like the other place was once upon a time.

Thanks Mimi!

And I saw your comment the other day, I’ll get on some BlueSky promo for next week.

While X is unfortunately still necessary for most football journalists, there’s a great, more considered #DCFC community here which would be amazing to see grow!

Thanks so much Janice. It’s always one of my favourite write ups of the year, so nice to see people enjoying it!

Thanks Kev. That genuinely means a lot to read after the week I’ve had! Getting this out with a bust laptop and website issues has been far from ideal.
