Send him back – These QPR fans batter Jack Clarke after full debut for new club

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Jack Clarke made his full debut for new club QPR on Friday night and the home fans weren't at all impressed with what they saw.

QPR ended up crashing out of the FA Cup 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday, with Nahki Wells getting a consolation goal deep in injury time.

After making his first appearance for QPR off the bench last Saturday, ironically against Leeds, Clarke made his full debut last night but was hooked off after 66 minutes.

One QPR fan said Clarke "doesn't seem to do the basics at all... has shown no effort."

Another said QPR should send him back to parent club Tottenham.

That seems harsh after just two games but Clarke has really struggled to re-discover his form after a blistering start to his Leeds first-team career last season.

He collapsed during the game against Middlesbrough and has never been the same player since. He was hardly given any game time for Leeds this season.

Some Leeds fans were very dismissive of Clarke when he left the club in January, taking exception at some comments in the first interview he gave for QPR.

We're not in that camp and we'd love to see Clarke hit his potential – as long as it's not against us.

Clarke might have made some mistakes but he's only 19-years-old. How many of us can say we didn't do a few stupid things at that age?

However, Clarke is already playing catch-up with these QPR fans and he'll need to start producing soon.

Clarke doesn't seem to do the basics at all don't track back he has shown no effort #QPR 🔵⚪

Clarke seems like a signing for the sake of a signing. As we all thought. #QPR

Poor today. Don’t think Clarke is quite ready for this level of football yet. Kane’s performance summed up his entire season. Did some very good things. And did some extremely shit things. Very in consistent. Masterson had a good game and Lumley was, well Lumley 🙄! #QPR

Both fullbacks, Kane and Manning, have been pretty dreadful tonight.

Not to mention Jack Clarke, who couldn’t do anything right. #QPR

Ball into the book. Struggling to get much going here. Clarke looks well off the pace. #qpr #magic

Clarke and Pugh offering absolutely nothing. Hook both for Mido and BOS. #QPR
