I like Clements, but this means nothing..

Our MOM on Saturday was the midfielder ahead of him in the pecking order at the moment, and also in the league above, against better opponents...

Quoted from The Grim Reaper
He's well over weight and can't be arsed. Bad attitude. Whether he thinks Slade likes him or not he needs to get fit. Given the size of him would he have featured today? NO


Speaking to someone from within the club on Saturday that was just about what I was told.

Allegedly came back overweight and didn't make much of an effort to get rid of the excess baggage so was loaned out.

Clements was not highly-regarded before he came to us.  He was only average when he was here.  He is perceived as a loss now because of the standard of other midfielders that we have.  

Having said that, letting him go out on loan (for much-needed match fitness at least) is a tight call.  He did chip in with some goals from midfield, which we sorely need know.  Slade said that he can be recalled from 28 days to 3 months so we have that safety-net if current midfileders get injured.  

A bigger issue was letting Pearson go.  He was a good team-player, consistent, unselfish and had strong leadership skills, encouraging and supporting other players.  I think that for these reasons his overall contribution was underrated.  When he left we expected to recruit someone better.    Pearson was said to be too slow for Division 2 and have poor distribution.  It all depends on who his CB partner is.  

Well, he was and is quicker than our current CBs and their distribution (and Dixon's) is no better, or even worse than Pearson's!   We have gone backwards.

I don't think Pearson is any quicker than Clarke, who I think is actually more mobile that you'd think and I certainly don't think he's quicker than Osborne.

That said, I wouldn't say is noticeably inferior as a defender to either of them from what I've seen.

I'm not sure I'd say he ever encouraged other players - moaned at them a hell of a lot and almost came to blows with McKeown on occasion, but not encouraged! That said, he's the sort of player you want at your club and he's a loss.

I think the over reaction is down to having players in the center of the park who just aren't good enough, we haven't seen anything of Clements to rule him out replacing either Berret or Summerfield in what is the most pedestrian center paring since Grimsby Pete was in shorts (only kidding Pete).

They must be slow then because I had my shorts on yesterday.
