David Clarkson: Progressing well

David Clarkson says he is progressing well and still harbours ambitions of a return to playing.

The forward suffered a freak training ground injury that saw him require surgery that would keep him from playing for up to a year. 

But since the injury in February, Clarkson has been producing opposition scouting reports for the Buddies while continuing coaching at Motherwell. 

He says that being busy with those other duties kept his mind off the injury and has given him an appreciation for other roles in football.

I don't think it was too difficult if I'm being honest," he told stmirren.com on the difficulty of suffering the injury at his age. 

"I've been in the game so long and I'm not the kind of person to get down about things or worry about things and let them get on top of me.

"I've been lucky enough to not have had any serious injuries before. It was unfortunate timing wise with the end of the season and my contract coming up, but I like to think I've done well in my career and I dealt with it fine. 

"I got my head down and have been working on a lot of stuff with St Mirren and the coaching I'm doing at Motherwell so I've been kept busy. I've got on with it and everyone has supported me. I'm 32 now but hopefully I can get back playing. 

"It's kept me involved in the football aspect as well and it's been a bit different. I've done the coaching for two years now and in terms of the report it's different because you're having to watch games, take notes down and concentrate. You're used to going to games and just watching it, you don't pay too much attention to it. 

"It's given me another insight into reading the game more and trying to focus more on it. It's been good, I've enjoyed it and the boys are doing well so I like to tell them that's been a good report from me."

Clarkson confessed his immediate future was uncertain in the aftermath of his injury.

But he was grateful that Saints kept him on to allow him to do his rehab, while providing opposition reports for the manager. 

That, he says, makes him still feel involved with team - something he was keen to be a part of.

It keeps me involved even though I'm not at the games as I still feel part of it because I've given a report on the opposition. 

"The biggest thing I wanted to do was get in at a club somewhere and thankfully St Mirren gave me that opportunity. I've said many a time how thankful I am because my contract was coming up and the gaffer and the club have looked after me.

"It's allowed me to come in every day with the boys and see the physio, do my rehab and feel a part of it. It's been normal apart from being in the gym every day. That's kept me involved, kept me sane and hopefully I can get back into playing at some point."

The forward was part of the St Mirren side that struggled for form at the beginning of last season and while he admits that last season's dressing room was good, there is a happier vibe this time around with the Buddies sitting atop the Ladbrokes Championship.

Obviously results at the start of last season never happened but it wasn't as if it wasn't a bad dressing room," he said. "You're never happy when you're bottom of the league but everybody got on well.

"It's the same this time. All the boys get on well, it's a good laugh and obviously everything is happier. It's always the same when you're winning and the spirits are high and that goes a long way."

The U20s back to winning ways

The St Mirren U20s came from behind to defeat Ross County 4-2 in the SPFL Development League yesterday afternoon. 

The Dingwall side took an early lead after a header from a free kick, but Robbie Leitch levelled for the Buddies just over the half hour mark. 

The Buddies went ahead in the second half when Cameron MacPherson scored from the penalty spot after Stelios was fouled inside the box. 

Sam Jamieson added a third around five minutes later when he got on the end of a Leitch cutback.

County pulled a goal back, but Leitch restored the Young Buddies two goal cushion when he scored his second of the afternoon a few minutes from the end.

Jack Ross Academy Presentation

Last week, St Mirren manager Jack Ross hosted a presentation with coaches and staff members from the St Mirren Youth Academy at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. 

The Buddies gaffer discussed many topics with the coaches such as preparing for a match, training, player recruitment and more. 

Allan McManus, the Head of the Youth Academy, has a close working relationship with the manager and believed it would be beneficial for all at the academy to see the standards he sets at first team level. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, Allan said: "I thought it was very important that the guys within the academy got to see the structure and the high standards that the manager has set and how that filters down through the rest of the club.

I think it was important that that message came from the manager because, as much as I emphasise the high expectations and the standards to all the staff within the academy, they are probably sick and tired of hearing my voice.

"The manager has always said that anything he can do to assist the academy he is more than happy to do it. Our relationship is probably very unique in that I get to work very closely with him on a daily basis. For the young players it gives them that link because he is very interested and the first thing he asks me on a Monday morning is about how the young players are getting on.

"He's very hands on and it's important when these players move up to the full time environment that I can feedback to the manager on how they are fitting in and when they go over into the first team I can explain what to expect and it makes that transition a bit easier."

The manager admitted that he was more than happy to do it and says it was important to show that the coaches hard work doesn't go unnoticed. 

He was also pleased with the response to the evening and reckons it's something they will do again. 

"Allan knows I have a consistent and strong interest in how the academy is doing," he said. "I like to be aware of what is happening and I like to be able to help when I can.

"There were two strands to it. One, how I work and prepare and the second part of it about the culture we are trying to create within the club.

"The reaction was really positive and it just strengthens the connection between the whole club. The academy guys have a completely different job to me, but one, nonetheless, just as demanding and what they do should be awarded and appreciated and it certainly is with me. 

"Allan's role is head of the academy and I don't stand on his toes in that respect, but I'm keen to see how the whole club progresses. I'm also interested in helping to aid and develop them as coaches. In a lot of ways it was beneficial, the feedback was really positive and it's something we'll do again."
