I think he will get better and be a real asset but could someone put in a bad to his parent club and buy him in the summer ?

I doubt there was anyone happier than me in January when we signed him, I’ve been a fan of his for a while and thought he was brilliant at County.
I was a bit perplexed when I saw him at left wing back though and for me the opening half hour or so he looked a bit lost. Let’s not forget he’s predominantly a centre half/right back and to be honest it looked like it imo. He seemed quite deep when on the ball and his back was to goal, mainly playing it back when on it. A couple of times he got it in forward positions he seemed a bit unsure including one where he tripped doing a step over in the box. I’ll be honest I think he was poor for the goal we conceded too and he was very flat footed which allowed United to put a cross in - I was willing to put this down to being rusty though having not played in months.
Near the end of the first half he found himself central and hit a fantastic strike which the goalie tipped over, 5 minutes later he scored a brilliant goal. The composure and ability for the touch was brilliant and a good finish on his weak foot.
Second half he came out full of confidence and looked like he had been a left wing back all his career. He was playing first time passes into the centre of the park, burst down the wing and received the second pass. He was cutting inside and playing some lovely passes to Melkersen, one was a through ball and the other looked like he’d cross it but he played a sly ball to feet and wanted it laid back into him but Melkersen wasn’t switched on. He was brilliant for a spell in that second half and made me feel like an idiot for my first half thoughts
I think what yesterday showed is just how good a player he is and how he’s capable of playing numerous positions, I’m still not sure I’d have him at left wing back but him being in the starting 11 with his energy, pace, athleticism and ability is a huge boost.
I’d get him signed permanently tomorrow if there was any possibility of it.

Good to see Harry Clarke making his debut at long last.
But as per Unseen Works post I was baffled as to why Maloney played him at LWB.
Did Maloney not trust him to play as RCB in the back three ? This was even more baffling when Messrs Rocky,Hanlon and Doig didn’t exactly do themselves any favours for the Dundee United goal.
I thought when Rocky was subbed for Drey Wright (the baffle fest continued ) that Clarke would move to RCB but he seemed to flit back and forward across the field,not seeming to know what his role was supposed to be.
Positives,he kept plugging away even when things weren’t going for him and scored a fine goal.Also he seemed to be absolutely delighted to be on the pitch (not always the case for some Hibs players this season.
Just hope Maloney doesn’t mess him about any more and ensure that he plays him in the positions he will be most effective in.
No more bafflement please Shaun.

Looks a player. He fairly gets around the pitch and gets involved. Pleasing debut.

Looks good but not overly confident he'll be here next year with Arsenal including that summer clause.

Looked a tremendous player wouldn't be playing on the left to be honest. Don't think we wanted to play Rocky centre of a three. Personally would play him right centre back with Hanlon and Stevenson with Doig left in the Derby.

Could Harry play up front for a spell? He has pace, he’s skilful and direct.
We are well covered on the RHS and in defence.
Just an idea.

It was a striker's finish.

Well done today Harry. The only man today who showed anything like fight & passion we need in a derby.
