Harry Clifton

Quoted from Stew0_0

Does anyone else think Harry's role would be best just set in behind a striker(s). Either in a 4-3-2-1 or a 4-3-1-2. Think Harry has a guy for goal and the energy to link midfield and attack. Think he would be wasted at full back and as said above we more than covered at RB

I agree, that's where he got most of his goals last season when playing more advanced when McAtee was injured.

I suspect that efete is too poor in ball control, passing and calmness under pressure to fit in well with an Artell team that knocks it about directly in front of their own goal personally. On the other hand maybe Artell will get hold of him and improve him in those areas. No doubt he is an incredible athlete and a very good 1 on 1 defender.

Michee was at Norwich for 7 years, whose set up could be compared to a bigger version of Crewe's, and play a similar way. There's no way that Michee could do 7 years there without having good basic football skills. And remember ,if the stories are true, he's received v. little 'coaching' in the last 3 years

One thing I'd say is that there's a difference between having the skills to pay the bills in training and doing the same on the field of play. Once the adrenaline gets pumping and you've got opponents piling in to make tackles, it's hard to keep a lid on things and play calmly. There's a reason why the very best players always look as cool as cucumber, even when surrounded by opponents trying to get the ball off them.

I've seen anything in Efete's time at the club which indicates he's a good ball player who is very capable of keeping possession under pressure, unfortunately. In fact, he is at his best driving forward with the ball rather than playing short-range passes around at the back.

There is the reason he hasn't improved, right there. Spending too much time in training paying his bills instead of practicing.

I really like Clifton, I feel the role for the team he plays both on and off the pitch is very important. The only thing I think he can improve on is goal contributions. This season so far he's got 1 goal and 1 assist from 23 appearances. That's just nitpicking though, it's not his primary role.

I was quite surprised Harry didn't move to a club higher up in the summer when there were rumours of interest.

Does anyone else think that he agreed to stay in the summer because Hursty promised him a central role?

It seems strange to me that Hursty didn't play him on the left this season when he was so effective there last season, even when he was struggling to get results at the end.
