He started pre season upfront grabbed a few goals (mainly against a below par blackpool) then as we had no strikers available he was put upfront as a target man, he tried his best and put tonnes of effort in but didn't do well. So our manager shifted him into a midfield role behind the strikers. Seeing as we have signed Stead (pretty tall and prem experience) and Pitman (goal machine in lower leagues) i would assume that Clarky sadly may be reduced to the bench/stuck in the attacking mid role. Maybe when we get Haynes or Vokes back he may be less required and available for a loan...
Could do, he needs fitness and tbh he is seen as a danger sub. Once injuries clear up he will drop down the list, I think at the minute he would be 3rd choice behind Pitman and Stead so he might be kept till either Vokes or Haynes come back.
