As well as Clarke: 8/10 Ipswich star just proved he deserves more minutes
Ipswich Town put all their Premier League agony to one side in the FA Cup this weekend with a straightforward 4-1 victory away at Coventry City.
Kieran McKenna would make 11 wholesale changes for this clash against Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues, with a worry in the air thereafter that the performance could be disjointed and uninspiring, but the final result ended up being a walk in the park for the jubilant visitors regardless of all the alterations made.
Off the back of such a convincing win, McKenna could be tempted to stick by some of the reserve personnel that clinched this emphatic victory, with Jack Clarke one Ipswich face that was definitely banging the door down for more first-team opportunities after his electric showing at the CBS Arena.
Jack Clarke’s performance in numbers
Only limited to five Premier League starts so far this season, the ex-Sunderland attacker could be about to be gifted more chances from the get-go after shining bright against Coventry.
Indeed, the on-the-fringes number 47 helped himself to an unbelievable return of two goals and one assist from his memorable 90 minutes on the pitch, leaving the leaky Sky Blues defence constantly shellshocked as to how they should attempt to thwart the 24-year-old marauding forward.
