One can only dream that Charlton could snaffle that Derby No. 8.

Mmmh, more I see of Claydon the less impressed I am. 

Too many people drew a conclusion of seeing him play against a very weak Welling team.

No, he was developing ahead of the curve his stats last season in the u's were very promising. He seems to be struggling a bit at the moment, but some players make it, some don't. 

We need to decide what position he is, RM? LM? LB?

He was much better at left wing back and helped keep their number 2 quiet in the second half.

I agree. He looks much more natural on the left.

So did the players by the sounds of it.  

Anyone watching, what formation are we playing? 

Southbank

2-0 began with loose pass from Henry

Dazzler21

We look very disjointed.  8 mins in 2-0 down

Leuth

Charles Clayden at left-back going well!

ForeverAddickted

Jeez... Should be 3-0

Southbank

Youth have learned how to waste a corner. Lots of possession but no cutting edge as yet.

Southbank

Being overrun now

Southbank

Sadly this is too much like the first team. Lots of sideways and backward passing, no movement up front or ability to drive through from midfield.

bolloxbolder

Not a lot to get excited about atm.

Leuth

Chin is the bright spark. Quite Vennings-esque

Southbank

3-0 and that flatters us

Leuth

Playing two midfielders at full-back will often result in this kind of scoreline though

Where's Roddy? Surely he wouldn't be with the first team today, seeing that we have 2 senior LBs now

seth plum

OK. last 30 mins for me.
Last season we won this 5-4!
Anybody played OK so far?

seth plum

Oh dear 4-0, beat the offside.

domjoy

Sorry, off topic slightly. Is the friday game against Millwall played at Sparrows Lane?

Lordflashheart

I’ve stopped watching - we are getting torn a new one - depressing

Oh well at least they are being prepared for the first team - sadly

bolloxbolder

In my best Peter Burrows voice, the comeback is on.

At last we know Deji will not be playing tonight if Famewo is injured

mendonca

Clayden at left back?! He can't even defend/track while playing in midfield.
