Why does McKenna keep playing Jack Clarke? 17:32 - Aug 23 with 1116 viewsBouncebackIpswich

To say Clarke's out of form would be extreme understatement... Surely he needs to be taken out of the firing line to look at it from a compassionate point of view, (or in my harsher view dropped and transfer listed) but what is KM seeing that we aren't?

It isn't just Kieran McKenna...

he was described as tearing apart the Southampton leftback on a Southampton podcast I watched.

Don't get me wrong, I think Clarke has much more to give, but theres a section of our 'support' who have made him their new whipping boy and won't be satisfied until he's bagged 10 goals and 15 assists.

Same reason as why he kept playing Muric when other managers (such as Lamouchi at Forest) got rid of him after 4 games.

Stubborn.

I watched him first half today quite closely and when he got shrugged off the ball or jumped under it in some attempt to win a header, he barely gave an effort to even track back. He doesn’t even look very interested to me.

He needs to be taken out of the starting 11, looks a bit lost, though he did put a peach of a ball in for Hirst and create another with a decent cross but not nearly enough product when we have 70 % possession

I didn't watch today's game, so I can't comment on that performance.

He's been underwhelming, there's no denying that - but you characterising him as not looking interested kind of plays into my point, people have decided about him and that's, that, he's their whipping boy at the moment.

If he was to nab 10 goals and 15 assists it might die down, maybe.

He doesn’t appear to have Wes’ work rate or tenacity, that’s for sure. If he’s low on confidence you’d think he’d be busting a gut over the basics.

I’ve seen it plenty to be honest, the Birmingham goal, the Leicester second last year as just a couple of obvious examples than even lead to goals. He’s not doing enough and not remotely a KM style player, I can only assume he was purchased after we failed to land Philogene last summer.

Because we sold our best two wide men in Broadhead and Hutchinson. One of the replacements - questionable whether good enough - was only signed yesterday.

I think and I would need to watch it again but I think our new signing was rather lucky not to get a red when he got a yellow as he appeared to aggressively slap and opponent. Anyone get a good view?

Yes. And he absolutely didnt. PNE masters of sh1thousery, all over the pitch

He’s been dreadful since he signed, full stop. Not sure why people think he’s going to suddenly turn it around and start doing the basics.

Not sure if being low in confidence and being high energy often go together.

He’s been awful this season, but he still put in the best ball of the first half. Hirst should have done a bit more with it, but I would give him a run off the bench for the next few. He needs rebuilding or discarding in his current form.

His reaction and attempts to help defend when he loses the ball are pathetic. I can see him as a useful impact sub, when defences are tired, but playing from the start he is a bit of a problem for us.

Playing some of those who cost us loads, instead of some of those in form, is proving very costly in points and league position, just like last season.

I’m guessing this is an ownership and management combined strategy. If so, I wonder if McKenna has been fully in agreement with it?

Is that golden glove Muric who would be far better suited to our play if he had not been hounded out?

Actually feel sorry for him, never really had a run in his favoured position. Philogene hasn’t shown anything at any point since joining
