IMHO, Clunan is nothing like the player he was in the first few months of the season.
In that period, incisive passing was probably the main part of his function on the pitch.
Today, he is not really attempting to do this – and on the few occasions he does – passes are generally not finding their target.
This can also be viewed as a rather different problem for which he is not to blame.
Off the ball movement is nowhere what it was at the start of the season. Simple fact.
I have wondered whether this may have been hidden from view for a while because of what Smith was doing for us.
Another question is begged when we consider the midfield goals contribution from Clunan and Scales. Derisory!
