If both Efete and Cropper were to be unavailable, it's only Clifton for me in that role.  Debut aside, Smith looked awful when playing in that position. To the point a lot of people thought he was a poor player until he got his second chance in his preferred position.

Maher did ok but he's definitely not a fullback.  On the other side, again if Glennon and Amos aren't available it's limited options.  Khouri gets stuck in but he's not a natural fullback and whilst I rate him highly, I thought his distribution from there was poor.

If we go 3 at the back, presuming all four full-backs are unavailable, that still leaves only Clifton and Khouri to cover the wingback roles and also means that if any of the back 3 or wingbacks get injured we've literally no-one to cover them.

Didn't a couple of Orient fans say Khan played a fair few games for them at right-back?


Khan has played a lot of games as a RWB at this level. He's come here to be an attacker but in an injury crisis, it's a capable option. My preference would be to have Clifton at RB/RWB but if Glennon and Amos are out, Clifton would be the best option there for me with Khan on the right.

Khan played a game at wingback a few weeks ago and it was a waste of time 😬

play Harry at RWB, even though that's him out of position as well.
The lads doing well this season by all accounts. I bought a copy of the Grimsby evening telegraph in November and they were doing a rating of Grimsbys players who played 5 or more times for Town this season .  After 16 league games Harry Clifton was top of the pile with a mark of 8.5 out of 10.


One life,one love .
