The problem with Max and Harry is that they are very lightweight. I know you can name others who were small but they had strong legs ie Boylen, Welbourne, Davidson. That I think is their problem, knocked off the ball too easily. Look at Siriki and DJ and you will see strong thighs.

Clifton seemed a bit meatier when he played in Dizza's recent testimonial. Obviously filling out a bit as he gets older, but is he really likely to get a game with 3 or 4 players in front of him in the pecking order?

I can totally agree with what peeps are saying re being slightly lightweight. I can tell you that Slade had him watched in December and recieved a good report. Max was measured on a scoring matrix of criteria such as short and long range passing, dribbling, strength and shape and he came out at at mostly league 2 player average score or better but his under value score was the physicals. I know Danny Andrews was taller but i guess at 19 was he ready for league football? Probably not but a few years on and he was probably 1 of our best players. Like i said previous tho' he was not rolled out of our GY factory so that was in his favour. I reckon it's a mentality that needs changing or we may as well not have a youth system.

Young players tend to fill out from 18 - 21 to be honest, if they are looked after properly.

He was a decent youth player, well regarded, but there  is a big step from Scarborough to League 2.  No disrespect to them or Max.


Seems we have a few big name players that have taken that step into Towns team  and failed

Exactly ! Woolford looks more like an ex-league player and as for Dixon FFS !

Tony Ford, Kev and Dave Moore, Kevin Drinkell, Shaun Mawer, Terry Donovan. Paul Wilskinson, Gary Lund....Jeezo, we really had an embarrassment of home grown riches back in the day. Throw on Batch and Cumming who also came through the youth system after coming from elsewhere and it's easy to udnerstand why BP buzzed for so long in the mid 70s to mid 80s decade.

If they're good enough they should be given their chance regardless of size. weight, etc. Didn't do Grodon Strachan much good when he started lamenting about how lightweight the Scottish population are after he failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup?
