Managers get slated for picking players out of position so this Clifton at RB thing is nonsense, we’ve conceded 13 goals in 3 games maybe we’d be best served putting Harry in goal if you apply the “Clifton is Mr Fix it” logic.

Quoted from 140381
And my point was not that he was or wasn’t finished, more to do with YET AGAIN blaming him for the latest result.

Changing the entire system a team plays with players who can’t grasp it in the middle of a season whilst we’re hovering over the relegation positions is fúcking madness. Everybody around me is saying exactly the same thing.


I would hazard a guess that everyone sitting around you are not professional football managers.  What do you expect him to do?  Play the same system Hurst used, and abandon a system that he is familiar with and has proved works.  He has only been here 7 weeks, it's going to take much longer than that for the players to adapt to a new playing style.

From a defensive perspective I would be a lot happier playing Clifton right back and if we could clone him at left back too, failing that khouri has the same attributes to be deployed as left back. Both tenacious in the tackle and he has done a job there before.


I wanted to add Khouri at left back but thought that make shake the tree a little to much…..Khouri looked a good prospect the last 10 games or so from last season but Artell doesn’t fancy him and would rather go with YT’s on the bench ahead of him….Salford/Walsall games

The time to do this is surely close season. Not in what is easily becoming a relegation battle.

Pretty obvious what my point was. If not, I can’t help you.

And what system were we playing before then? Cause it didn’t look like there was any system for the last two months of Hurst’s tenure.

Hurst was trying to get them to play out as well as hoof it to Rose.

I think you’ve inadvertently hit the nail on the head, DA is familiar with the system the players seem to be struggling with it.

Did at any point I say Clifton at right back would fix it? It was merely a suggestion on a fans forum of a different perspective using the current players we have contracted to give us a different perspective. Harry is more then capable fitness wise to get up and down, naturally right footed, doesn’t mind getting stuck in and can possibly take the pressure of him playing in his midfield role which he’s not tearing trees up this season.

The thread was about Hurst leaving us a below average squad….I’m giving an opinion to change personnel with what’s currently contracted players…I’m not asking for the magic wand to stick up every players bottom and make them premiership quality
