Seems the 'match fit' excuse gets trotted out for players not in favour by Slade as others who were signed by him appear to have slotted in straight away even without a full/partial pre-season.

I personally like Clements as a player, but it's interesting to see that he seems to have become a lot more popular on here since he stopped playing games for us!

I must be in a minority but I think Berrett is decent. He's been consistent and looks a quality player this season. I've been amazed to see him winning tackles and getting about the pitch. I'd say this year we have bigger problems than the middle of the park.

We can't strike a balance at the back or up top.

I think they've both done OK this season, but not exactly brilliantly. However, both are just lacking that certain something in the middle of the park that we need, not least of which is goals.

Looking at the League stats, our midfielders (including wingers) have scored 3 goals in 10 games between them this season and one of those was a penalty. I suppose Jones was playing wide when he got his goal from open play, but that's still only 4 goals in 10. Our defenders have scored four between them as well (albeit including a penalty for Davies).

That's really not good enough if we want to be up near the play-offs. Clements alone scored 4 goals in 16 appearances last season, for example.

I can't exactly see what anyone sees in Clements - he played in most of our poorest displays under Bignot

Doesn't matter who we put in midfield the ball was constantly hoofed over their heads missing them out.

Part of the problem is when our back 4 get the ball there is no movement in front of them looking to take the ball. The opposition close them down quickly knowing they will be forced to hit it long.

Taking that a stage further, there were many occasions where Berrett & Summerfield had to pass back to the back 4 to hoof it on Tuesday because of the 4 in front of them only Dembele was making any movement. Hooper, Vernon and particularly Woolford were very lazy without the ball.
