Just wanted to give him a pat on the back because I thought he was excellent last night and one of our only bright sparks.
He always made himself available to receive the ball, he tried to take players on, create things and generally worked his socks off.
Hopefully there's plenty more to come from him.

It means they disagree with your opinion if you haven’t worked that out yet. Hope that’s ok. |
And use voting as a quick response when they don’t have the time or means to write a full post 👍 |  |

I like Clarke, but he always cuts back on his right and slows the game down. Stick him on the right as a proper winger, get to the byline and get some crosses in. |
That's not his position though. He wants to play on the left and that's where he had all his success at Sunderland |  |

Interesting how people see things differently.
I thought he was almost totally ineffective, constantly took too many touches and got in Leif's way.
We mainly look like scoring when Leif is flying so that's quite a large issue.

Have to say,I actually thought he was one of the bright sparks last night, whilst a lot of what he did didn't come off, the mere fact that he was trying and getting far more engaged than recently makes his performance a vast improvement compared to his history here so far.
He looks like he's found his confidence and got his swagger back.
By no means did he tear it up last night, but certainly put himself about a lot more than usual.
I'd say 7/10. |  |

I thought he was pretty good last night given he had two defenders on him for the most oart.
I said to my chum whilst watching that he needs a Philogene-type game where he smashes a hat-trick to boost his confidence. | |

I think the problem that Clarke and any of our wingers last season was that they were not playing to their strengths in taking on and trying to beat the defender. Instead they were incessantly passing back infield.
This season looks like we are trying to be a bit more positive and that suits Clarke. |  | | |

We've got to put Philogene, Szmodics and Clarke across the attack on Sunday. They can't put 2 players on all 3 of them. Not to mention marking Hirst. |  | | |

Him and Leif Davis were comfortably our best players. Matusiwa was decent too.
The trouble was, Bristol City were doubling up on that left hand side and did a good job on them overall. It's a shame our right side is a bit of a blunt instrument at the moment, as I'm sure there would have been space over there to exploit. Feels like it would have been the sort of game that a prime Wes Burns would have really thrived in. |  |

Wow.
That's a lot of down votes for a politely put opinion without a single counter response to the points raised.
As I said, interesting how people see things differently.

If you want an explanation for my downvote here it is:
I completely disagree with your opinion that ‘Jack Clarke was ineffective, took too many touches and got in Leifs way’. Therefore I decided to downvote your opinion that ‘Jack Clarke was ineffective, took too many touches and got in Leifs way’. It is of my opinion that Jack Clarke was in fact effective, took an adequate number of touches and did not get in the way of Leif. |  |

Hopefully that is evidence-based enough. |  |

Both you and sitters have contributed nothing to this thread except taking a poke at me. Neither of you have opined on the subject matter.
All the things Phil repeatedly asked not to happen but it's never you guys who are the issue right?
I've done my best to keep out of the way of you lot since I started posting again but you just can't help yourselves.

Perhaps people thought it was an obviously-dumb opinion but couldn’t be bothered to offer you an argument? That’s how I felt anyway. |  |

I love Clarke he’s my type of footballer, you could see him playing right wing for us in 1992. Great player great touch great finisher. | |

Which is fair enough and as I said in the post, it's interesting how people see things differently.
I was just surprised how differently.
I've gone back and checked some stats and it doesn't seem to correlate with the sentiment. I still don't think he was very effective but given the responses perhaps I'll watch the match again at some point.

Going back to what I originally posted, I just thought he made a real effort to get himself into the game and drive us forward as much as he could.
Even on the occasions where it didn't quite work out for him he didn't shy away. He tracked back to help the team and kept plugging away trying to make things happen.
I didn't notice too many others doing that except for Azor Matusiwa, who has easily been our player of the season so far.
I'm not saying it was the greatest game Clarke will ever have but I certainly appreciated his spirit and endeavour. | |

No way he'd win all those Steve Whitton headers. |  |

I thought he played well but I would concede that too much of his work was not in threatening positions - Davis provided all the dangerous crosses. When Clarke cut onto his right he either looked to shoot or pass back/sideways rather than try and curl in a right-footed cross.
But he was constantly looking for the ball and making himself available and was heavily involved in our dominant possession and was easily the pick of the three attacking midfielders. [Post edited 1 Oct 18:04]
