Clements looked decent 07:49 - Nov 10 with 1211 views | franz_tyson | Thought he did well when he came on. Assured on the ball and linked well with Chaplin and Fraser. Not sure he was tested enough defensively to know how he’d get on in a L1 match. Question marks about our left back position. Coulsen always injured, Penney looking shaky. Has Clements got a chance to force his way into the side…. or is it too much of a leap up from the 23’s? These cup games can be misleading at which level these young players are at. Thought he did well though and looks like he’s a decent size that maybe could handle the physicality of first team football. | | | | |

I say this as he made a few safe passes rather than crosses last night - thought overall put in a good account for himself. | |

Clements looked decent on 09:22 - Nov 10 with 1053 views | itfcjoe | I couldnt really see the point of starting Kenlock and then subbing at half time - just wasted a sub really. If Kenlock not eligible then 90 minutes for Clements would have been better as we are short at full back | |

AH ok - hadn't seen that and makes sense | |

He was ill Monday but then declared fit to play but was throwing up at HT. | |

Can only assume Cook is thinking we will need another LB available come January. Perhaps PC was thinking he might have to bring Kenlock into the squad. Shame he wasn’t fit health wise. Clement seems the answer long term. | |

Dobra, Simpson, El Miz, Clements, Ndaba, Baggot... on 10:50 - Nov 10 with 802 views | unstableblue | .... not a bad crop coming through (not all came directly through academy I believe) Who else is being seen as good enough to make it? | |

We've always got a good crop coming through - where we either get it wrong, or get unfortunate, is when it comes time to transition youth into the first team. | |

Every team in the land can say that really - it's why the numbers who actually make it are so low. | |

Yeah, I think we need to temper some of the enthusiasm and expectation for him. He's certainly doing enough to persevere with him and get him some game time out on loan. Talk of him slotting into the first team now is premature. | |

Clements looked decent on 14:34 - Nov 10 with 553 views | blu_dru | He did ok, always went for simple safe passes usually straight back to the player he got it from. Its good for ball retention but he will need to do more to be in the first team. Didn't really see what he is like defensively last night either. Has the build of a centre back for me. But in being cautious he made no errors and did himself no harm either. Will need a loan for sure. | | | |
