Tudgay - Script Was Written That Clarke Would Score

Last updated : 27 September 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City's Marcus Tudgay has said that it was inevitable that Leon Clarke would score against the Sky Blues for Bury.

Clarke scored twice with one a penalty and speaking about him to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Marcus Tudgay said: “I played with him at Sheffield Wednesday when he was a young player and he’s a great lad who has a matured head on his shoulders and the script was probably written that he’d step up and get a goal today, and he did.

“But his first goal was schoolboy, as the manager told us in the dressing room at half-time, so we have to learn from that and make sure we shut off all options in the box because it was such an easy goal for them to score.

“You have to watch a player like Leon who has scored goals at every club he’s been at but we simply didn’t do that well enough today.

“It was a frustrating day and the boys have had a little rant at each other – a positive rant because we want to be better and want to get better, that’s the young ones and the more senior ones.

“We have to work hard next week and whoever the manager selects we have to put things right in the next game.”
