He's doing brilliantly, so versatile and committed. Racking up the appearances too must be close to 150 games for us.

Quoted from Oly1987
Was chatting to someone on Saturday who doesn't rate Clifton due to his passing and inability to do anything with the ball. Personally I think he's quietly been a cornerstone piece of the squad putting in 100% every game and giving it all wherever he's put on the pitch. Also helps that he's chipped in with an assist for Bapaga on Saturday and also got a goal today. Let's not forget he's not exactly old either only 23.


I take it the person you spoke to supports Scunny? I think Harry is really benefiting from playing in a settled position in a settled side and is starting to look like the player we know he could be.

We have cover for most positions.....except Harry. If we had taken either of the excellent chances to go 4 nil up then Cokey could have given him a breather. Similarly, we have no cover for McAtee who, understandably, tires after an hour of heroics.

Coke was arguably the best player of the final 3 months of last season.  Fox arrived with one hell of a pedigree for this level and with Burton fans saying he was very good at League One level.

Clifton has, along with Hunt, kept both on the bench at various points this season. That says everything.

18 months ago I didn't think he was up to it.  Never questioned his running levels or his attitude, but I felt technically he was falling far too short.  He's worked on that and improved it.  Hindsight is great but his lack of technical prowess in previous seasons could well have been a result of inferior coaching.  Whatever has happened in the last 9 months, he's a vastly improved player.

Being able to rotate Fox and Coke will do wonders for keeping both of them fit as well

Coke  and Fox are 2 different types of  player. I would say Fox is more versatile, possibly because of his experience but Coke is there if needed.  Good to have both in the camp and both compliment the other 2 midfielders.

I think he has vastly improved his game over the last 12 months. And credit to him for continuing to work on his game.

Work rate and energy has always been there. Gives 100% every time he pulls on the shirt.

And this season is starting to chip in with a couple of well taken goals already.

Still young enough to get better. My only critique as the moment is his composure at times. That rushed misplaced pass or snatched shot. But as I said is working hard to get better and his commitment wills you to get behind him.

Proving to be an important player
