Just a name for consideration. Jamie Proctor ex Rotherham and Scunny amongst others, just released by Port Vale. 6 foot 2 in the Ryan Taylor mould scored 14 in 51 for PV.


we were linked with him in January, given that PH had him at Scunny, but PH knocked it firmly on the head, saying he wasn't looking for that type of player

Quoted from diehardmariner
Oh there's not a cat in hells chance we find another player with the engine of Clifton's.  If he is to go, we might need to accept that we'll not someone with his freak-like levels of stamina.  In some ways that lends itself to Ska's point about accommodating that role into the team.  By having a super fit lad in there who can do it all, does it mean we rely on it rather than go for something different?

He's a one-off.  It's now common for the distance covered by players to be discussed but it hasn't really dropped down to our level yet, not that I've seen anyway.  But I'd be really interested to see the numbers that Clifton covers but also the pace at which he does them.  

Over the course of 90 minutes, 10km sounds a lot but when the majority of that will be done at a quite steady pace it's not ground breaking.  I bet Clifton covers more than that and a high bulk at decent pace.


I'm sure Slade flashed some stats a few years back that had Clifton way out in front of the rest of the squad for high intensity running. That was before he made his breakthrough and you'd imagine he's only gotten stronger from them to now.

From what I've seen of Khouri I would say I'm impressed, particularly with his tackling and closing down. He seems to have that perfect balance of controlled aggression and I think he will complete well against whatever midfielder he come up against.

I was certainly very wrong about Khouri ....  After a few games he looks the business. Hopefully he'll continue to get games and PH keeps a more settled team and formation

Mullarkey from Rochdale - he was very good when we played them and can play right back or central
Question is, does he have the ambition? Assume he chose Rochdale instead of us in January for geographical reasons

Unless he had a relegation clause in his deal I think it’d take a decent fee for him to move. Think he signed for 18 months with the club having the option of another year.

A guy that scores a goal once every 7 or so games... no thank you.



I can't tell you how much i hate people using goal stats alone to decide if a striker is any good.

i'm 80% on Ryan Bennett resigning this season,

He wanted to sign last season, and didn't want an 'over the top' salary, just to match a high earner.
As we was sorted at CB, PH rightly said we don't need to do that.

He's got a big house in Humberstone (Common Knowledge) and is doing it up with the intention of staying in the area for the foreseeable.

A good solid replacement for Smith for a season or two

His stats are here https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=52386

For the record, hes got 2 goals in his last 21 appearances. He has more yellow cards than goals.

To say I would be thouroughly underwhelmed with a signing like this would be an understatment, I appreciate stats don't show everything, though would hope we are looking for a younger player with his career before them than an aging playing on the decline.

Doesn't change the fact that he scored at twice the rate for PV than you quoted and helped them to promotion from League 2.

He has a career total of 1 in 5, and has also played at a pretty decent level in his career, isn't that old and is known to PH.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking and wouldn't be overly disappointed if we signed him.
