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

Well, he can if PH keeps picking him in that position.

For me, he plays centre midfield or he doesn't play at all. He gives everythinhg, but he runs in straight lines, he isn't going to drop his shoulder and beat a full back. He is not a winger.

Personally I don’t think he affects games enough in central midfield and Green, Morris and Holohan are all better options there. Harry ended last season really well on the left hand side and is a good option there for how we want to play ie with a grafter on one side who can cover central areas too.

I am happy with him there right now but I can understand why people would rather see Wearne or try the Amos-Glennon combination some more.

For those wanting him in the centre, who would you drop out to accommodate for this?

Surely the elephant in the room is that for all his commitment and work rate, we’re 4 games in back in the league and it’s clear that he’s probably not anything more than a sub?

He improved massively and you’d imagine Hurst understandably loves him but I’m not sure he’s ever gonna be effective out wide and I wouldn’t drop anyone in the middle of the park…

He’s not the answer on the left side for sure. Is he better than any of the other three CMs? I guess we’ll find out if and when he plays there - is it worth resting Green to find out? He’s clearly not fully fit.

Gave me view on on this already today in just back. I don’t think it’s an elephant in the room situation more of a fish out of water situation.

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?

Not sure bringing Kiernan in for Harry and shifting Wearne to the left is major surgery


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
