Harry Clifton

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’m not sure recent pitch conditions have been terribly helpful.

Christ on a bike, he's a professional footballer in the 4th division. If he can only cross the ball in August and April we shouldn't have signed him.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

If he’s so poor it’s remarkable that he keeps getting picked by managers who might know a bit more than us on the Fishy.

Are there managers who know more than us?

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

I mean know one know more about anything ever than the Fishy Cognoscenti, but I’ll bow to Artells and Hursts on this one.

Quoted from TAGG

Get one of there's 'Harry' thread every season.
Some people can't wait to have a dig.

And the timing of it..

Best he's played for a good while on Saturday. Definitely the most energetic player on the pitch. And if you don't think a footballing side need hardworking runners like Harry to enable a passing game, then I don't think you understand the game of football tbh. Several times he broke into good positions in the box when our "footballers" didn't or couldn't pick him out with a pass..

I'm pretty relaxed with how things are going, probably like most on here, but there's always one or two that seem to want to dig a player out from nowhere. And to pick a position out like right back to improve is just insane at this time..

In January I expect we'll bring a centre half in out of necessity, and maybe bring one or two in that Artell specifically wants if they're available, not because he needs them. We'll probably watch Artell assessing the whole squad until the summer.. Harry will mostly start, and won't play a single game at right back..

He's just out of form and with that probably lacking a little bit of belief in himself.  

That's it.  

You don't become a bad player overnight.   Problem for the lad is that he never gets a proper rest.  Even on the back of his recent injury/strain, he came back into the squad and played the final 30 minutes against Sutton.  Then straight into a full game against MK Dons on the following Tuesday.

I know the lad is an athlete and I'm sure he's not the type to go into the manager saying 'I need a rest'.  But he probably needs a proper one.   You can't always play yourself back into form.

I thought he was good on Saturday and looked dangerous. Picked up the ball well on the half turn and drove forward. A couple of things didn’t quite come off but would rather him be playing for us than against us.

Absolutely.

Follows on from the point that we miss him more when he doesn't play.

He looked in form on Saturday..

Quoted from Hagrid

We’ve got two right backs who are more than good enough. Efete was playing well till his injury.

Don’t need a midfielder putting there.

Was he ?

Quoted from DaleH

Was he ?

Had several good games at left back, a couple of good ones at right back and a shocker at Slough when he was playing through injury. When he gets his chance under Artell, I expect him to flourish with new instructions.. There's a higher ceiling to work with than Mullarkey due to physical attributes. If Artell can get him confident and playing with shackles truly off then we might have the right back that played so well against Plymouth and Southampton every week. I'm definitely interested to see what Artell can do with Michee. Might turn out to be an absolute monster or he may not.. time will tell..
