What I like about Clayden is he tries to play his game irrespective of mistakes. Obviously it is the area he has to improve on but he is young and could well do so.
Clayden's confidence ruined by his 1st team enforced inclusions ?
Wouldn't surprise me.
Don't agree. He has never been particularly stand out and is simply not good enough for league footy IMO. Good hard worker/trier and I hope he proves me wrong but I think it is his ability not 1st team inclusions that let him down.
Fans make too much of that, exposure to the first team is a good thing for youngsters unless the fans destroy them by getting on their backs which very rarely happens and has not with CC.
I went to 'The Den' this afternoon, we looked a bit lightweight all over the pitch against a Strong Millwall side who have now have seven straight wins. Our midfield was guilty of a lot of misplaced passes, all Millwall's Goals were down to giving the ball away or being caught in possession in dangerous areas. Harness was not blame for any of the goals & was unlucky not to save the penalty. I have to say that the staff at Millwall were very welcoming & the view from the directors box was superb. Our next game is away to Watford on Friday & has been moved from Vicarage Road to Kings Langley FC kick-off 13.00

Fair enough. It was just a question to see what Lifers thought.
I was thinking about the pelters Charles received after a recent match plus the manner in which Charlie Barker, put in at the deep end, has seemingly faded out of the picture....
Why was Clayden playing today anyway? It's not as if he needs game time, others in the squad (e.g. Kirk, McGrandles or JFC) need minutes more.
See he is playing as left back, he needs to learn this position, will be more of a benefit for play few more games at U23 understand the position, make mistakes rather than in the first team
He is young and I reckon he will improve because he is the type to play has way and not be inhibited. From what I see anyway. In terms of the first team, I would rather play him in the cups and bring him on with the game won at this stage.
Charlton's U21s will now face Watford on Tuesday, September 27th (3pm) at The Orbital Fasteners Stadium.
The Professional Development League 2 fixture was originally scheduled for Friday, September 23rd, but the match has been postponed for reasons beyond the club's control.

Harness has been left exposed four times.
Suicidal play.
Fraid it will get worse.
Campbell off for Kamara.
Way below par.
Wouldn't surprise me.
I don't think that he is a L1 quality squad player.
