If you think about it, the academy have lost Smith to the Wombles, Azeez to Torquay, and Pigott to the 1st team. That's a lot of goals to lose.
We were clearly the best team on the night, and the Dartford fans I spoke to could not believe that they got away with it. Their keeper pulled off 3-4 good saves to keep them in it.
Saying that, we missed 2-3 open goals.
I found it pleasing that Charlton tried to play football on the deck, using the superior pace of the 3 up front. Much better than the hoof ball that the first team so often serve up.
IMO, Poyet was the best player on the park by a country mile. Daniel also played well, and is a very flexible player, who can play either wide, or through the middle. Saying that, I am struggling to think of any of the boys who played badly. If Munns had played as well as I have seen him play previously, I think we would have won.
There is one major difference this year. Jase is a Charlton legend but, as top academy coach, he is not worthy of lacing Nathan Jones boots...
How can you say that when the bloke has been in the job just a few months?

Judging by reports of those that were there, the team were set up well, played good possession football on the deck - but lacked a cutting edge.
The best manager in the world can't score the goals for his team.
