Conor Clifford

[manor15]

On trial at Barnet, where we sent him on loan, and likely to sign in the next few weeks. http://m.times-series.co.uk/sport/13372514.Former_loanee_Clifford_returns_to_Barnet_for_training/

Good for him - hope it works out this time round (except if we meet Barnet in the cup)!

 

[OldBlueLady]

Yes, good luck to him. Something must have happened to fall so spectacularly out of favour.

Or he just wasn't good enough.

He was deservedly Player of the Month for August, I refuse to believe his performance fell so drastically.

Why is he trialling at a club who know him really well? When I saw him play he was technically decent but a complete headless chicken. We had too many midfielders at the start of the season (which probably upset Clifford due to lack of opportunities) and brown wanted to go with Payne, rather than the ill disciplined clifford

Plus, shrimpers trust ptlayer of the month is pretty meaningless.

Not good enough for Barnet either!

Reading that its more about not having enough squad spaces for him. Seem to be very limited on amount of players they can have there.

 

[Seedy Nigel]

But still - not good enough. Think Martin Allen is being as nice as possible and sugar coated it a bit.

A mate of mine is a Barnet fan and he loved Clifford. Said he was hugely popular down there.

He was hugely popular here for some reason.

I thought he was really poor.

Because many football fans (not just on sz) overvalue things like 'hard work', energy, combativeness and tough tackles, and underrate things like discipline, efficiency, awareness and simplicity.

Clifford seemed to be good to ok at the overvalued things, and poor at the undervalued things. He was also a complete liability.

He scored from outside the box, thats what many will judge a midfielder on.

3 in 28 starts and 14 sub appearances is hardly prolific.

Leonard got 5 in 44 starts and 3 sub appearances last season and everyone was moaning about him.

Conor Clifford on Trial at Daggers

Conor Clifford is on trial for Dagenham&Redbridge tonight in their game against Wealdstone.

Best of luck to him.

 

[tottenham541]

Really hope he gets a deal there:smile:

Opening day away at Accrington he was miles ahead of any other player on that pitch. There is talent there, no question!

Strange. I rated him too. But if we kick him out and he can't get a deal at Barnet and he's now trialling at Dagenham it looks like he's not as good as at first thought. A bit of the Lee Sawyers here.

 

[Ricey]

Just signed for Boreham Wood.

 

[Chalky]

Has now signed for Boreham Wood on a one year deal. All the best, Conor.
