I have only seen the highlights and photos but Harry Clifton looks to have filled out somewhat. Does he look as though he has in the flesh, as it were ?

Quoted from Croxton


The Welsh I saw at Clee last year was not fit (in several senses) to lace the boots of Hanson who oozed class in finishing and teamwork. He also looked in good nick during the vigorous shuttle runs at half time, as did Matt Green. Hess, however, wasn't up to his normal high standards as if carrying a slight knock. There were meaty tackles on both sides, Rose being blocked at least twice.


Hess in my opinion ran the show in the first half. His positioning broke up any counter attack’s and I thought his use of the ball was brilliant. He allowed Whitehouse and Clifton freedom to bomb around and made everything tick.

Exciting midfield 3 that is, which has the energy cover a lot of ground giving the front 3 more of an attacking freedom.

Fully agree and from the shuttle runs Matt green seemed to leave the others behind in terms of fitness he looks in awesome shape Ogbu struggled a bit but that’s to be expected I think we will be trying to be much fitter this season only the first game in but most of the lads looked very good fitness wise

I think the Lump comparisons are very fair.  Hanson is more mobile but he brings that experience and know how to the front-line.  

The real difference between what I saw of Hanson and the other big men we've had since Lump is the ability to head the ball as opposed to let the ball hitting their head.  His goals highlight how he almost passes the ball with his head but he did it throughout the game to bring others into play.

It was against a side several levels below us so we can't get too excited.  But his performance was very encouraging and definitely gave the feeling that as long as we provide him with enough service, he will score goals and/or create chances for others.   Be interesting to see how he fares against defenders at a higher level but the Clee Town lads were attracted to him like a beacon, which created so much space for our other attackers.

Out of interest, how did Elliot Whitehouse do? Was he playing further forward as a creator or is he more box to box?

Difficult to say regards Whitehouse especially when viewing the game at pitch level.  It was a midfield 3 of him, Clifton and Hessenthaler.  

Hessenthaler was still in his breaker-up-in-chief role, coming deep to get the ball from defence and just be a general nuisance.  Clifton and Whitehouse were further forward but if pushed, I'd say it was Clifton as the furthest forward.  I guess it was a diamond of sorts, Hessenthaler at the base, Clifton & Whitehouse central with Ogbu at the top with a free licence to drift out on either flank.  The two full-backs were definitely pushing on to provide width.
