Make favourable mention of what one may have done here? (3,2,1,4,2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

put in a word or two

'make favourable mention' is the definition.

'of what one may have done here?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'done' could be 'u' and 'u' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

I've seen this clue in The Times.
