Clifton is the sort of character who will continue to develop because he is committed. Won’t be the next Messi but he’ll still have a part to play in our success one way or another.

I wouldn’t write him off yet.


Weren't people writing Vernam off not so long ago!

Difference with Vernham is we all knew that the ability was there, just needed bringing out and given the games to build his confidence.
Problem with HC is I'm not sure the natural ability is there but would love to think with the right coaching he'll start to improve, really needs to sort his passing game out, get that done and I'm sure he'll be fine, just think in Gradin, Hessenthailer, Benson, Whitehouse, there's more quality.
Might even be a case to get Harry out on loan, seems to have done the trick for CV...

Harry Clifton will be a fine player for this club. Played 70 times in the league at 21 and is a great athlete. People seem to constantly focus on his weakness.

He’s had some very good games this season that prove he’s capable of the level. He’ll be one that kicks on under Holloway.

It was only the Mansfield game a few weeks ago that people were saying he’d had his best game for us, giving him man of the match etc!

I agree. I've actually seen him have way more good games than Vernam has and everyone is creaming their pants over him at the minute.

Shall we be generous and assume that the person who red-crossed Aussiemariner’s original post did so by accident?

When Harry was playing his better games I think we were less of a attacking force and needed that type of player in midfield to do the more defensive work but I think as we progress we need more of an attacking, skilful player (hopefully someone like Grandin) Harry will still will be a very valuable squad player next season in my opinion


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

He reminds me of tommy Watson


That’s a big compliment to Harry.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They were. I doubted he’d make it too.

People always like to give negative feedback on players if they have a dodgy couple of games, like the negatively written when we were 1-0 down yesterday. It’s in the nature of some people. For the rest of us that have to read it, it’s a pain but we all know there’s a pretty good chance that in time Clifton will improve with Ollie and the coaching in place. Onwards and upwards! UTMM!!
