Time for him to start showing the goal scoring form he can undoubtedly produce at this level.

In fact it's long overdue.

No 1st team start for over 2 months and no goals scored for Utd in over 5 months. Yet he could be such an important player for us. We are really short of experience and more so natural finishers.

And, yes, i know he's been injured at times. But he's fit now and it's time for him to step-up. All the pressure can't just be on Shankland constantly.

Fair enough looking for folk to step up to the goal scoring plate, but in his defence when did he last get a start in his natural position? in fact how many times has Neilson played him as a proper striker?

If you want the best out of people, you need to make best use of them.

Worth a shout up top with shankland today. Mcmullan and Clark enjoy playing against Dunfermline.

Exactly. Only times he has played this season he's been out wide on the left. Played most of last season behind out main striker.

I doubt he is ready to start but can see him coming off the bench in 2nd half today.

100% agree.

I agree with that.

Up top is his best position. Play him there and judge him on that.

Goal and an assist today.

Not bad.👀

Great all round performance from him today, what a strike.

kdyteejay · 26/10/2019 6:23 pm

Deserved to get mom.

bowers · 26/10/2019 6:34 pm

Cracking goal and good to see him get a lot of game time.
Hopefully starts again Tuesday.

Peach of a goal the way he hit it with power and dip.

kdyteejay · 27/10/2019 9:57 am

McMullan was brutal yesterday.

Good to see Clark now starting to really add to the team with goals and assists.

Amazing what playing someone in the correct position can do.

We've won every league game in which Nicky Clark has started this season (7 of the 9 victories).

edit, as it's six out of nine. But he's a talisman, I'm thinking.

We have also won every game that shankland has scored in, lost every one where he hasn't. Play em both together up front and job done!

See since the day of the original post in this thread (26th October) when we beat Dunfermline 2-0 and he scored and set-up the other for Lawrence Shankland, he's been our best and most important player.

Particularly in the absence of the aforementioned latter. His strike partner Shankland. He's helped us win both games without him.

Hats off to the boy, he's now showing the type of consistent form and big contribution to Utd i always suspected he had in him.

He manages to stay injury free and he is a very important player which he has shown recently.

MockChop · 08/12/2019 10:09 am

20 goals in 52, decent considering he’s at times been played out of position and had a couple of injury issues.

Can he be another to join the 100 club?
Lets hope so.
