He's only playing because Fry is injured.
Keep telling yourself that. I’m fairly confident Carrick knows Clarke is vastly superior these days.
Fry will be back up next season.

And how do you know he's not injured?He isn't injured, he won't be here next season......;-)
I'm a bit sick of the same story every season with Fry, tbh.
He misses at least a quarter of every season with injury and we get the same narrative and arguments every time he goes missing.
I'd sell him as he's pure profit and he's got a questionable fitness record.
He's a decent defender, but that's about it.
When you know, you know.And how do you know he's not injured?

And those pinning their hopes on Clarke need to look at the Ipswich goal, two of the Leeds goals, the penalty he gave away against Leeds at Elland Road, the Sheff Wed player running at him and going past him like a statue, and the Norwich goal when he allows Barnes to run off him. That is without really trying so I am sure there are many more incidents.
Clarke's did a job and held a make shift defence together at times but please don't get commitment mixed up with ability.

You are talking out of your backside. Like most home grown players, they are targeted by the boo boys.Fry is a bit like Ashley Fletcher.
What do you base that on?he’s so much more of an all round footballer than Clarke in all departments.
It's a shame but he does seem to pick up niggling injuries every year.I'm a bit sick of the same story every season with Fry, tbh.

He's a decent defender, but he's not the John Stones that some make him out to be.

He as staggnated a little but also still does have them performances where I think wow he could still be top defender but he isn't consistent hence why he never got a better move.
4 good CB are required and we have that in Clarke, Fry, lenihan and Rav.
On the injuries forss is another who has a questionable record always misses large parts of the season and we need players who can stay fit!
Clarke’s lack of mobility, ability and the number of times he gets pulled out of position. I mentioned earlier on in this thread the number of goals Clarke is at fault at.What do you base that on?

I have mentioned and I will say again that Clarke’s done well and held a make shift defence together but if we sell Fry (as one poster suggests is happening), we need to replace him with someone better than Clarke.
I'm glad someone else on here can see this.Clarke has played well but lets not kid ourselves hes a fairly limited if effective defender. I think half the plaudits are for his fully committed style over actual quality but to me a better defender doesn't need to play in that way.
Arguably Mom agaisnt an awful Cardiff side but he was horribly exposed for pace by leeds time after time in the previous match. The rvb clarke partnership maybe good enough for this level and reminds me of the Mowbray pally partnership.However Clarke to me isnt as good a player as Mowbray was and like mogga clarke will never have the pace to be anything higher than a championship defender
