Appears frozen out?

Clifton made the bench last night despite not kicking a ball in preseason and McAlister was on the bench ahead of him last week (despite having to use a Zimmer frame to get there 🤕)

I know he was on compassionate leave but he's been back for a while now and doesn't appear anywhere near the 18.

He was mentioned by Slade as injured or not quite ready, certainly not frozen out

And you just instantly believe him?

Something isn't right between Clements and Slade, its fairly obvious

Why is it obvious? He started every game under Slade last season (I think) and hasn't be available this season due to compassionate leave/injury/lack of fitness.

What indicates there is a problem between the two?

Not that obvious then...

Can understand the feeling that he's been frozen out. Both Clifton and McAllister have made the bench ahead of him despite only having returned to training very recently.

We've also heard very little from the club on his injury, whereas we get regular updates on other injured players. I wonder if the 'not quite ready' line is referring to the issues he had in the summer.

A fit and firing Clements is key to us moving forward this season. We've no one in midfield capable of quickly turning the play over like he does.  We could also do with his goals!
