Coventry City defender Jordan Clarke feels that Callum Wilson is tougher to mark than Britt Assombalonga.
Clarke, who prevented the twenty one goal Assombalonga from having any affect in Saturday's game by doing a sterling job of marking him, told the Coventry Telegraph's Alan Poole: “Assombalonga is a very good striker at this level but Callum's tougher.
“Callum’s movement is different. Assombalonga’s a strong boy and has got good feet but Callum moves all over the place and is really hard to pick up, and then when he is on your shoulder you can’t catch him.
“We spoke about it before the game and I told Callum to do his best to score and I’d make sure that I stopped Assombalonga.
“I wasn’t told to man-mark him but I was told what his movements are and the positions he likes to take up.
"When the ball was on the right-hand side he tried to get in between me and the full-back and make a run across us and behind me, but I made sure I dropped and every ball that came into his feet I was up behind him and he didn’t really get anything, so I was pleased with that.”
“They are similar in some ways and different in others and I think Callum has showed he’s one of, if not the, best strikers in the division right now and I’m backing him to get the golden boot.”
