They don't seem to click together. Maybe Leons not up to speed yet but somehow it doesn't seem to gel.
I totally agree, they do not work together at all!
I noticed this problem earlier on in the season and definitely last night, they are too much alike and do not suit each others style of play.
Last night- Clarke won plenty of headers and nodded them on, but Sharp was no-where to be seen running onto the ball, this does not suit Sharp's style of play being an in-box poacher. Sharp suits a style of play with players running off him, passing it about and a steady build up, hence why Done and Sharp works well and Done does all the running about and closing down where Sharp takes it easy and gets into them right positions in and around the box.
Same comes the other way- Sharp holds up the ball and passes it about and Clarke is suited again to a poacher role, but crossing the ball and winning headers is his main trait. I find that when Done is not on we lack the width up top and to me that was noticed last night until Chapman came onto the pitch. Clarke also cannot hit a barn door!
In my personal opinion, the pair don't work together and never will. They are too much alike and do not play off each other. Last night I feel that we lacked with Done's ability, many which will disagree but Done puts pressure onto the oppositions defence, he runs them down and does not give them time on the ball, I think the tempo when he is on the pitch is much higher, he gets into wider positions giving Sharp or whoever his partner is up-top time and space.
I would like to see Sharp and Done starting the next game, maybe Clarke can come on later on in the game but I would prefer not for him to start, especially with Sharp, and that sounds stupid with Clarke being a top goalscorer for this division and Sharp throughout his career, but it just does not work.
