It struck me yesterday that we sort of take Harry Clifton for granted a bit.

Plays so many different positions, always full of energy, very rarely gets rested and does most of what he does really well without being the most gifted player in the squad. Consistent 7 or 8 out of 10 performer and, as it stands, my Player of the Season.

Agree entirely. A non league  James Milner! Very steady performer although Waterfall gets my vote for player of the season.

I’d agree, I sometimes wonder if his versatility has retarded his development?

Playing various roles and positions probably comes with the territory but I think there is a top centre mid at this level given stable selection and the right players alongside him.

Was always a critic of Clifton but it’s hard to fault him this season, much like waterfall. He’s been immense this year and chipped in with the odd goal which always helps…

Always had this image in my head of Clifton as the Gaffa tells him where he needs him.

"Harry CM"
"yes Gaffa"
"Harry RB"
"Yes Gaffa"
"Harry the tea ladys out sick"
Already tying the apron "on it Gaffa"

Non-League Milner and we'll struggle to replace his engery if he ever leaves us


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

The one thing you could never fault him on is he'll give 100% in a match and keep running all over the pitch. This season has been one of his best by far, improved on many of his weaknesses and his versatility and effort shines. He's the type of player every squad needs, maybe not the best player in any position but can play in all of them while putting in a good shift.

I have felt he was regularly overrated in the past just because he's local and a bunch of people here know him/his family he's been portrayed as better than he was, though this season he deserves all the praise he's been given for the role he's played.

It’ll be tough to beat McAtee for POTY but Clifton & Waterfall will run him close
