I bet for at least, let's say 15 minutes minimum, Clayden does play right back this season.
We did that very early Pep at Man City thing in some of some games where SS and Clare went either side of Dobson make a 3 and the two 8s went wide of their wingers to make a sort of 2 3 5. That's how we scored the second at Accrington at the goal against Derby.
That's actually why Clare was where he was on Tuesday.

That’s what city do at the moment with Walker and cancelo. With De Bruyne and Gundogan either side of Haaland and then the wingers wide to complete the front 5.
I can’t see Clayden being used like that though, he isn’t reliable enough in possession. If he was at full back and we wanted to create that shape he would probably be high and wide as the far left/right of the 5, with Kirk/Rak Sakyi moving inside and then probably Morgan dropping alongside Dobson and Clare into that middle 3.
Clare has picked up quite a few interesting positions this season. Garner has definitely picked up on him being good on the ball at RCB last season and using him as more of an inverted full back helping us keep possession rather than bombing down the flank. I would say Sessegnon (although right footed) has been playing more like a traditional full back than Clare. Overlapping Kirk/CBT and staying wide, only difference to the traditional role is him cutting inside in the final third
They will come to frustrate us, and sit back. Fans have got to stick with the style and method that has worked so far.. If the fans start getting on the players back, it isn't going to help! Patience is going to be key, we will need to draw them out, if we have long periods of possession with not much progress that will work in our favour, it will bring them out of position and lose shape, which will create space behind.
I think we will win this but it will be a tight game. After our early showings I cant see many clubs coming to the valley to play open expansive football as they will be on to a hiding. I expect this week we will see if we can open up a team that is trying to keep things very tight at the back

I think this is where we will see Kirk come into his own. CBT coming off the bench when the game opens up could be dynamite.
Away, against the better teams we could see both CBT and JRS start because it will pin their full backs back, giving us the extra man in midfield.

I think Kirk and JRS at home and then CBT and JRS away from home will work quite well. Should keep CBT fit if we are not relying on him to start every game. CBT and (eventually) Chuks to bring on against tired defenders will be fun to watch

3-0 Charlton anyway is my prediction!
3-2
not as easy as we’d have wanted
Wollacott
Sess Inniss O'Connell Clayden
Morgan Dobson Fraser
DJ Stockley Kirk
2-1 win obvs
Yeah, thinking rotation and freshness, saying that, bye bye DJ.. get JRS in there.
They're loaning him for minutes and to make him ripe/robust for a season.

I assume to second one is Fraser he looked like he took a knock in the second half.
2-0 Charlton (Stockley and Leaburn)
Sess Inniss O'Connell Clayden
Morgan Dobson Fraser
JRS Stockley CBT
Love Clare but think Garner will rotate when he thinks he can or needs to. Could see Payne or McGrandles potentially starting as well.
