By a happy coincidence I was at Notts County V Exeter today, and saw Connor come off the bench on the hour mark, he looked smaller than the other midfielders on both sides, but looked immediately to get on it and pass, and did so well on the first few occasions, he also made two challenges soon after coming on, one winning the ball back, the other not, but not fouling either, he gave it away cheaply once while looking to spread the play, not enough pace on the ball on a sticky Rugby scarred surface and the opposing fullback intercepted it. On the other hand he played one really nice disguised angled ball from about 40 yards out to the edge of his opponents penalty area, which did cause problems and needed defending, it was a little flash of vision.
He lost all 3 arial duels I saw him go for though, but made one very nice late run arriving for a pullback which didnt come from Lee Hughes, who had it made clear to him that he should have passed, this was noticable in his game, he was talking to those round him a lot, good to see.
We will see if he starts the next game, his side went two down soon after he joined the action and had been poor all day.
John O'Flynn played for Exeter and put in a shift, in the chanells mostly without any real clear sights of goal, except one, which was parried and led to a goal for his side.
He should've used a different font.Quote:

Notts County fans first impressions http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php...mid=2118413702
And some ratings http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php...mid=2118413208
I just wonder if his size is counting against him at Chelsea, thay are a big side, both in height and weight, I was told today among the biggest in the country, I dont know where this can be checked (?) but it may be holding him back there. Hope not though.
I was surprised to read during the week that Jack Wilshere is only 5' 5".
According to wikipedia Clifford is the same height as Stephen Ireland (whether that's Stephen Ireland with or without hair is unclear).
He should move to Barcelona
Messi 1.69 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in))
Iniesta 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
Xavi 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in
Bojan 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
Pedro 1.69 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in)
David Villa 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in
Mascherano 1.74 m (5 ft 8 1⁄2 in
Daniel Alves 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in
;-)
First start for Notts County earlier
Yeah, encouraging, an impressive cameo from the bench the day after he signed and a start in the next game, his corner kick resulted in an OG for his sides second, subbed on 74Quote:

Wont play V Man City at the weekend.
Clifford didnt start for Notts County at the weekend, another, more recent loanee Karl Regan started ahead of him. He came on after about 80 mins.
He was restored to the starting eleven tonight, played the 90, an away point for his side who also had two players sent off.

What are the odds that Trap would know Clifford from Adam?
he won U19 player at the FAI 2010 awards a few weeks ago, so I'd say he knows who Clifford is
I think he's the captain of the U21s too. Surely on the radar.
Am I the only one a bit underwhelmed with his loan destinations this season?
To two sides just trying to stay in League 1 so far. If you look at other Chelase loanees, there is one at Swansea, Bolton, 2 at Leicester in Sinclair, Sturridge, Van Anholt and Bruma.
Man City loaned Greg Cunningham to Leicester, and more recently Ben Mee, a young CB who wouldnt have really been anywhere near first team at Eastlands. Naughton from Spurs to Leicester. Amoo to Hull from Liverpool. Fielding to Derby from Blackburn. Davies to Middlesborough from Stoke.
I hope its just ao add physicality to his game, League 1 will definitely do that, if little else. Would have been good to see him in the Champoinship.
Started again today but was removed with fifteen to play by another loan arrival. A lot of players coming in on loan at Notts County, very unsettled side at present.
