It’s great news without doubt although you might be doing Ben Fox a bit of a disservice. He played several games in the McAtee role which was well outside his comfort zone, and, having watched the playoff games back, I’m in no doubt that Fox was the reason we got over the line.


I do not doubt or am I trying to belittle the role Fox played in any way.  However your defence of Fox seems to be his lack of versatility and discomfort in the McCatee role, which only highlights the value of Clifton’s versatility. In just comparing the number of games each started there can be little doubt that Clifton had more influence over the season. I am sad to see Fox leave but without wanting to curse either player I would be very surprised if he makes anywhere near the number of first team appearances as Clifton next season

the other point that hasn't been made is that HC is an improving player. He is far better now than the enthusiastic 'young pup' we saw after Jolley had given him his chance. His passing (albeit from a woefully low base) has improved now end, and under Hurst he has stepped up to another level. Last season saw him add another string to his bow with his goalscoring record.
