CET's MOM
Changed the dimension of the game for me when he was on the pitch.
We definitely look better with two up front
Cue SBTaylor to "Shout down" anyone with a different view to his!
Spot on Dongonzalos. Clarke isn't capable of playing the "Lone Striker" role. He is a Jimmy Greaves type of player. Pretty good from inside the six yard box, but nothing special outside of it. Cue SBTaylor to "Shout down" anyone with a different view to his!
SBTaylor...
Elliot 11 appearances of which 9 were as a sub......TWO(2) STARTS
If you want to quote figures, at least get them right pal!:facepalm:
Mine are official stats from the actim index...
If you're going to 'correct' me, at least be correct.
Clarke scored his 2nd goal upfront on his own, so far he's scored more goals on upfront on his own than in a 4-4-2, fact.
Btw, you can't argue against facts.
EDIT: 1 hour later, no reply... That's what I thought.
Have you considered how long he has played as a lone striker compared to as part of a 2?
Obviously if he has played more time as a lone striker it is more likely he will have scored more goals

Gonna argue with those stats now are you SBTaylor?
Clarke 4in 6 starts....2 against Sheff utd, playing 4-4-2.
Elliot sub app partnering Clarke scored 2 playing err,umm, oh yes! 4-4-2
Check out out Clarkes goals at Scunny, and what formation they played when he scored!!!
As Dongonzalos said, we look much better with 2 up front. You also say drop midfielders, Moussa has been an integral part of our midfield, but you want to drop him?...No mention of dropping Clarke, why?
The games that he's scored in, he's been absolutely average at best, and games where he hasn't scored have shown him to be not very good even at the basics
He was diabolical against Sheff utd, but because he scored everyone forgets how bad he actually was!
Elliot has made a shedfull of chances for Clarke when partnering him up front, but hasn't taken anywhere near enough of them.
Clarke hasn't got the skill to be a target man. He is not in the same class as King or McG. He will score goals though, as long as he plays with someone who can keep giving him the chances(Elliot)....and the last word goes to........................
