    George Hardy was bought by Wolves from Rotherham as a future prospect and then later released. I wonder why?
    Btw how tall is he for a goalkeeper?

    Logan Williams was in goal today @Starinnaddick unless I’m completely missing something.

    My mistake. I thought it was Hardy.

    And had great distribution. Should have a word with Arthur.

    Apparently George Hardy was in goal for Chatham Town against Slough last Saturday. Not sure if he's on loan.

    Today’s NTT20 podcasts focuses on our academy. Haven’t listened yet but sure it’ll be good

    Interesting that Danny Cowley remarks on the Micah video that whilst Essex is fertile ground for finding footballers he sensibly says that South London (earlier he had narrowed it to South East London) is extremely special and he intimated that our academy is probably the best around.
    He is right about our corner of the planet, and it re enforced the agenda of that really good programme about cage footballers and the estate culture South of the River (probably elsewhere too, but a super fertile ground for players).
    I have always loved the ‘one of our own’ nature of our club, and regard our Academy as the jewel in our crown and something that makes Charlton Athletic stand out.
    Conversely it pisses me off we’re not category one and rich clubs leech off the hard work the Charlton Athletic academy has put in.

    The Reuben Reid goal is here. Really good finish but shows the contrast between U21 and senior football. No one even gets close to trying to tackle or jostle him

    Guven the very large numbers of young, mainly working class and black kids brought into the club at its various levels, it must also play a very big role in offering a different type of life opportunity and identification for many of them.

    And a Championship keeper would probably have saved that.

    Ayden Minto St.Aimee came on for England U17s in the 64th minute today. We beat Ireland 5-1.

    Otto on the bench

    Lapper not a name I recognise. I'm guessing Finley Lapper
    U16 goalkeeper?
    So we now have a goalkeeper who is a FLapper??

    The line up suggests to me that there will be a behind closed doors ‘senior’ game coming up soon where Mwamba, Edward’s and seniors not away will play.
    Pure speculation from me.
    Tas straight in is interesting.

    Looking forward to seeing Enslin come on and McMillan to maintain his current good form.

    Interesting to see Peterkin, any time I’ve seen cameos or u18 streams he’s barely touched the ball.
  • Where is Otto?

    Some of the Millwall players are a foot taller than ours.
