I think he got a bit missed by previous managers or stepped up for Lenny.
Earlier in the season I thought he put in a good shift … then wasn’t played. Last couple of outings … I think ( if he wants it) we should give him another season offer of a contract if he sees it through to season end as he has been playing

I still think we will stay up … especially if it is via the play offs. I suspect it will be that way as we do nothing normal. We are The Pars.

I said yesterday at the game that Clay could be an important player for us, and I stand by that now. Doesn’t do anything too fancy, but is a composed, solid, intelligent player IMHO.

This is my signature

Who do you think will be automatically relegated?

Reflecting on Craig Clay, I believe he embodies resilience. During his absence from the team, he was seen on the pitch prior to matches, assisting with the warm-up and playing with the reserve team, all while maintaining a commendable attitude despite not being included in the matchday squad. In the games in which he has played, I think he has performed well. His play may not be extravagant, yet he diligently seeks to control the ball and showcases the gritty aspects of the game. For me, I really hope he plays a significant role in our efforts to secure our safety in the league.

I think he has been the captain in the reserve games recently too so must be showing a good attitude.

He has played well in the last couple of games. Can see him communicating with the manager and players on the pitch as well.

Think he’ll start all the remaining games if he is fit.

Was breaking up play well yesterday.

Mentioned it in my after match post, but he is a player that is slowly winning me over, in his last 2 games. If he can keep those levels up then I wouldn’t be against him staying.

Clay`s rehabilitation is what worries me about writing off the whole squad as `not good enough for the Championship`. Players have different strengths and weaknesses and different managers will see ways of integrating them into a functioning team.

Said that on another thread, wee eck. Some players haven`t been good enough over the whole season. Others have but haven`t been able to carry the whole team.



Not your average Sunday League player.

He offers far more than Oakley-boothe for me, the effort levels alone are night and day. He gets stuck in and he actually looks like he cares. That’s the kind of player who should be starting in a relegation battle. Not young boys on loan from English academies who couldn’t give two tosses what happens to Dunfermline because chances are they’ll never set foot in the town again after this season.

Yeah the difference between O-B and Clay has been night and day. To the extent that if he comes back in the team ahead of him I think I might phone the police.

Clay has reacted well considering wanyama got on ahead of him at Ayr!

Doubt we’ll see Oakley boothe again, he played like he was in witness protection.

Oh here’s the gruesome twosome! Those on the park had downed tools to get rid of tidser, clay wasn’t on the park at any point in that time.

It’s too clays credit that he’s come in and done okay in 2 games, espechailly as he knows he’ll be away soon.

He puts paid to your theory that loanees and players whose contracts expire at the end of the season have no reason to try and keep us in the Championship. You just make it up as you go along
