That was a young looking Cafc team in the 2nd half. Daniel Kanu is just 17 and that was a great striker's goal. Kanu may have played a couple of games for U23 ?
The Millwall super kid 15 year old Zak Lovelace who came on as sub for the first team last week scored their 2nd goal.

South London conveyor belt showing no signs of slowing.
The problem when we play Millwall is the baggage that every Charlton fan has because of the last 2 decades where we grab defeat from the jaws of victory (Solly red card game) and the weight of expectation that the fans pass on to the players.
The Charlton youngsters don't have that fear and defeatist attitude of the Cafc fans.
Our U18 put 6 past Millwall and now another young side of mainly teenagers representing the U23 have come back from 2 down and scored 3 in 11 minutes.

Thanks to those who brought this coverage to our attention, rather belatedly, we joined in watching the action from the Toolbox as half time approached.
Millwall looked a very competent, skillful side and at 2-0 in front, negative old Fanny wasn't expecting too much from our lads in red after the break.
Oh me of little faith !
Difficult for me to admit, but this silly old gal was in tears by the time the ref blew his whistle to end what turned out to be a magical 2nd half performance from our lovely lads.
Have to admit that yesterday's events around the perfect day we wanted for young Ben have left me feeling somewhat drained, vowing to give myself some "down" time from Charlton related issues.
But I could not have imagined that 47 minutes of football at You Know Where would have lifted me SO much !
We were blown away by the work rate, the teamwork, the skill & endeavour put in by each & every one of those lads - it wouldn't be fair to pick out any one player but have to admit to loving the contribution by Euan Williams. One to watch closely IMO. But any scouts in attendance today will now be scratching their heads as to who to put at the top of their lists......Spoilt for choice comes to mind.
But it would be amiss for me not to mention 2 other "players" that clearly made this 2nd half so compelling.
Anthony Hayes . What a half time talk that must have been ! Plus, of course, the manner in which his team conducted themselves , the confidence he has clearly instilled in each one of them & the belief each has in his team mates. Absolutely fantastic ! The future is so very bright !
And finally, the commentator today who I felt was perfect. Not sure who she is but well done, young lady. Another gem unearthed.
A heartwarming couple of days for all Addicks and a reminder of why we'll always support this wonderful football club.

Is he the grandson of Linda?
She wouldn't have choked during the game, after a 2 ups.
Henry is decent, but a penalty and a free-kick their keeper practically threw into his own net doesn't prove a great deal. Kanu seems like the real deal. Who passed to him for the winner? Williams? That was a great ball

I think Henry played the pass. To be honest Henry didn’t have a brilliant game but was in the right place at the right time. His passing is fantastic but his physicality needs to improve
Henry is a very good player and of course the captain, which says a lot about him. Took the penalty very well sending the GK the wrong way.
The GK should have done better with the free kick, but is was right into the bottom corner and I think it was the bounce that took it over his outstretched hand. Their GK had a very good game overall and made a couple of good saves and one outstanding save. If you hit the target you are always in with a chance. He does posses a good range of passing and Henry was my MOM.

You could argue that the defender should have done better but that was a great two touches and then pass from Euan Williams to Kanu for the winner - reminded me of Tydeman to Killer. OK maybe Killer would have body checked the centre back to get the opportunity and then smashed it but quite reminiscent and the result was the same - ball in back of net!

A good rather than a great ball, should have been cut out really. Nice composed finish mind by a very promising young player.

Great comeback, lovely result.
That was my first assessment but what we can't see is how far way it was from the defender at the interception point as there was definitely some curl on the ball. Don't think anyone could argue, in any event, that the weight of the pass wasn't perfect as it ran away from the defenders outstretched leg and into Kanu's path perfectly.

Well played lads.
For those who may be interested in the team as I cannot see anywhere
Sam Lavelle and Ryan Viggars are replaced by Harris O'Connor and Jeremy Santos at the break.

So good to see a comeback from 2 down! Excellent set peices from Henry.
Jackson & Euell were also there to witness a great comeback.
