Feyenoord fans said he had a chronic five game spell last season before coming back and looking majestic.

I like him, I think overall he is very good and will improve as he grows accustomed to the league.

I thought he was good against the Tesco Baggies and didn't seem to do anything wrong yesterday. Infact, he has only really had two shockers this season (Everton and Southampton) and the rest of his performances have been decent.

Clark has been called into the Irish squad.

I didn't think he was good against the Baggies - he was regularly knocked off the ball by Long despite being twice his size, his distribution was panicky which is very unlike him, and positionally he seemed a bit lost.

It would be good to have Dunne back to give us another option - we could play Baker but despite being pretty solid most of the time he's the slowest footballer I've ever witnessed.

I guess it a case of seeing the same thing from two angles. I didn't really notice what you describe. But I see what you mean now I think off it. I noticed the amount of headers won and interceptions during that game. All of centre backs are lacking in pace and a mord pacy CB should probably be on the shopping list in January.

be interesting when dunne is fit. Im not his biggest fan but we need some experience in there and Lambs might bring him in and not to upset clark , move him to Defensive midfielder.

Lambert said at one of those fan forum thingys that he didn't see Clark as a central midfielder at all which surprised me.

Didn't realise Dunne injury was that serious, thought he'd be back in contention after these internationals.

Could do with another CB in January methinks, I'd be happy with someone like Dawson.

I saw that, too.

I'd go as far to say he didn't just say it, he was really quite emphatic about it.

Clark was learning the role last year and struggled at times but he also had games of genuine quality like Chelsea away when he played very well.

Yet again we are struggling for defensive steel in midfield so yeah surprised Lambert has ruled it out.

Never been convinced by Clark. I think we will be a lot stronger with Dunne back. Any idea when that should be?
