I doubt Jolley is playing him just because he is a local lad, so i don't know why you ask the question. Seems when JJ or Dixon are not playing, someone has to be scapegoated. Clifton's turn today then.

Unnecessary thread he's a rookie pro playing where he's being told to play. That doesn't absolve him of criticism but does he really need a thread dedicated to it?

Playing the lad at right wing back and then left wing doesnt help.

He is a centre midfielder so until he gets a run there then imo its only fair to have a proper opinion on him then.

Genuinely interested...Are you suggesting that Jolley sees Clifton being local as a factor in his team selection above maybe ability?

What a stupid comment, he’s more than good enough and should be moved to a more central offensive position

Pointless question. He is, and he is.

Dont think for one minute you can blame Clifton,,, Bad enough for a seasoned pro to play in the wrong position let alone a young inexperienced lad, Its the managers fault,, 1 for asking hum to play out of position  and  2  for not getting the right players in

I seem to recall Jolley praised Clifton's fitness levels during pre-season? Obviously thinks that this fitness combined with his willingness to get stuck in and work his socks off can help him to cover other positions. I'm sure it's just a temporary thing and, longer-term ought to be OK for Clifton's development - providing he doesn't get saddled with the 'utility player' tag.

Question is whether he’s good enough to get picked in his best position. If he isn’t then Jolly shouldn’t pick him out of position just to get him on the pitch.
