New Striker - Billy Clarke signs

[phil thefluter24]

6 first choice strikers now with 2 young guys all fighting for game time.

If Clark does well enough to earn a contract beyond January then surely that’ll bring an end to Rudden and Taylor’s contracts.

Very top heavy

Thats when they can get them fit & keep them fit!

Thought he looked alright coming on. Basically what i noticed was he layed the ball off and his 1st thought was to get into the box. Are other strikers dont do that they fanny arse around and are to static

Really liked the look of him. Lively, bright, good movement good awareness, likes to link up. Encouraging cameo. Looking forward to seeing more of him. Welcome Billy :scarf:

:shock:

Not doubting you given your past record, but, wasn't expecting any more arrivals pre January.

Someone packing their bags to go? :think:

Nope, we have injury problems. Baxter possibly out for 4-6 weeks :thumbdown:

Well done on another scoop :clap:

New Signing: Billy Clarke Analysed

Given Clarke's fitness record and the constant mini-injury crisis at Home Park, don't expect him to stay fit for too long! He, like Ryan Taylor, is injury-prone:

• In 2014/15 a knee injury kept him out for nine matches.
• In 2015/16 another knee injury saw him miss 13 matches.
• In 2016/17 a calf injury kept him out for ten matches.
• In 2017/18 he missed five games with another calf injury.
• In 2017/18, he also suffered an ACL tear, which saw him miss 11 months. He only returned in November 2018.

So, while Clarke boasts a very impressive record of a goal every 295 minutes at League One level - or just over one every three games - he arrives at Home Park with something to prove, rather than with the reputation of a player near his peak like Danny Mayor.
