Clements Urges Players To Be More Ruthless

Speaking to The Hunts Post Clements said: “It’s a good point on the road which was only marred by the fact that despite dominating the second half we were not ruthless enough to finish them off and were also slightly naïve to let them back into the game.

“But I’m proud of this group. We’ve had to juggle injuries and suspensions lately, but we have still maintained a good level of performance.

“To be honest, a 4-2 or 5-2 win wouldn’t have flattered us.”

St Neots now sit 16th in the standings but are only a couple of points off the top half with Clements insisting they are on the right track to reach their go o mid-table ecurity.

Saints hit the road again this Saturday when travelling to Farnborough ahead of a Tuesday date at home to Hitchin at the Premier Plus Stadium. They are a repeat of the club’s first two fixtures of the campaign when they were beaten by a solitary goal against Farnborough before hitting a dramatic leveller to snatch a point in a 2-2 draw at Hitchin.

Clements added: “This season is all about moving forward as a club. There are no big targets and no big statements – we’re just keeping our heads down and getting on with the job.

“Sitting in mid-table represents massive progress. To be in that position after a quarter of the season is very pleasing and the challenge now is to stay there.

“The boys are developing as a group and I do believe there is a lot more to come from them.

“It’s important to pick up points against teams around us in the table. We did that at Chesham – now the aim is to do the same against Farnborough and Hitchin.”
