Clement has lost both his first two away games since replacing Liam Manning, and the Belgian takes his side to a resurgent Sheffield United on Tuesday now six points from safety.
“I’m 200% confident of that (survival) otherwise I would never have taken the job, and I’m even more confident after these two weeks together, with these players and with the staff,” he said. “Now really feeling the club and knowing the club much better I’m even more confident.
“But I was confident already before I came. I’m very confident that the next weeks and months the points will come if we keep our focus on what we need to do on the pitch and not to go into the emotions only about the result, or the last result.
“It’s about grabbing every game by the neck to get the three points with our football and how we can play. I saw a lot of that in the first half, and the last 20 minutes I saw good moments of that.
“The first 20 minutes (of the second half), I was totally not satisfied what we were doing with and without a ball. We made two mistakes that cost us two goals. And that’s a hard lesson, but it’s an also an important lesson, because you need consistency in everything you do in football, otherwise the luck can fall on the wrong side, and that’s what happened.”

Norwich blew two leads and coughed up more cheap goals at Vicarage Road in a recurring theme of the season.
“We didn’t get what we deserve, but we made it difficult for ourselves with making mistakes that we should not make,” said Clement. “The result always stays as the most important thing at the end.
“But if we would change philosophy, and you start playing only for the result, and you start only defending and kicking balls away we will not get results. So it’s about the process with the players to make them better, to make things better, also with and without ball, so that everything is really clear.
“Building on the things they are doing well and also making better the things that we miss, and also individual players for the moment; getting injured players back.
“All the injured players have been in every meeting until now, and that’s an important one, because I don’t want they come back to train and the story is new for them. They will also learn a lot of the mistakes we made in this game we don’t do them in the future.”
