Leon Clarke sent to Coventry

Oggy Red

Most strikers are only as good as the service they get.

Would love to know the story behind this

His goalscoring record in the championship:

Wolves - 13 in 74
Sheff Weds -18 in 83
QPR - 0 in 13
Preston - 1 in 6

against his record in league one

Oldham - 3 in 5
Southend - 8 in 16
Chesterfield - 9 in 14
Scunthorpe - 11 in 15
Coventry - 11 in 15
Us - 0 in 7

Suggests that he's very much a striker who's too good for league one but can't handle the step up.

Interesting stats. He was obviously hugely unfit during his time with us, after an idle spell following his exit under a cloud from Swindon. Does anyone know why he and Powell didn't connect? - Airman said that Clarke had been "foisted on" Powell, presumably by Jimenez.
