Quoted from dapperz fun pub


He’s played in the middle a few times and from I’ve seen he’s been overwhelmed I can’t honestly think of a game where he’s dominated the game and took it by the scruff of its neck I honestly can’t. Work rate will take you so far but that killer pass just isn’t there. I still see his value in the squad and would genuinely love him to find that bit extra footballing nous not trying to urine anyone off but it’s my opinion


Happy with that, I just think it’s a situation that needs discussing, not that it matters because we are not PH but it’s good to see different opinions

I love Clifton as much as you all do, however, he can not continue to play left mid/wing, discuss


Not a chance. His shoulders are no way strong enough. Same would go for javelin and hammer.

Maybe cycling or long jump would be better suited

Seems to be suffering  from the old fans eye view similar to Danny Butterfield.

Could be playing in league one right now if he wanted. Was picked by not one but two Wales u21 coaches and has been a first team choice for almost every fixture for the last three town managers.

What elephant?

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby
Why do people always talk as if there is a fixed starting eleven throughout the season? Harry has some great attributes, which will be more suited to certain games/opposition than others. It's a squad game and I'm sure he will play an important part.

What's the point in trying to do him down?


This.

Just not the best footballer and for me great squad player, not least because of his versatility, but IMO should certainly not be starting wide left but as others have said we all judge and rate players differently and he obviously has the support of our Manager so when he’s playing I support him but feel we have better options.
