Centre backs are all about partnerships and we cant afford for our captain to be off injured so often. Baker too is often out injured which is why I would think of cutting him also in the summer.

Bloody hell, no need to go medieval on the poor bastards and take a scalpel to them.

Clarks had too many chances now for me.  He isn't up to pl standard and it will take a lot more than games with the like of Burnley and Palace to convince me otherwise.

You may be right but I think he has earned his place in the team/match day squad for the next few weeks to see if he can cut it in a consistent basis.

Also age is a factor.  Most players don't mature fully until their late 20s so as long as Clark is showing some portential now (which I think he is) then I think he should have a future at the club. Because of the way Lambert shoehorned these youngesters in before they were ready then I think that has led to a extreme reaction from some supporters on how good or bad they are.

At the moment Clark and Okore look our best partneship at the back.

Clark has been superb since he's been drafted in. Great goal today too , angled it beautifully past the keeper.

One thing was evident is that Clark and Wetwood are good mates. Bang, have that you bastard!

His challenge on their striker today was brilliant. Great controlled aggression.

Clark suddenly morphed into Baker with that tackle.

I personally drop Clark into midfield whilst Westwood out

I don't think we should disturb the furniture while we're on this good run. Regardless, if Westwood's out, Richardson/Sanchez/Cleverley (hopefully) seems quite well-balanced as a midfield trio

Great goal and a crunching challenge. Good day at the office for Clark.
