Really surprised Castillo is playing, as with CBT going off injured I'd have thought he'd at least have a chance of making the 18 tomorrow

Or is he FOURTH choice left wing back behind CBT, DJ and Purrington?

He didn’t get much game time at Birmingham so maybe more match fitness than being signed to be 4th choice.

Castillo more impressive than John so far.

Well in the last few weeks I have seen enough to make my mind up on Harvey. Garbage, get rid.

Interesting to watch John and Castillo.
Castillo was slightly hesitant and thwarted from a good opportunity just before haalf time, but he has has a very positive game when going forward down the left. There is clearly something about him.
John has had a more tricky half playing in the Aaron Henry role. Diminutive player. 
It is only half time mind.
I think there has been some good development from a sometimes forgotten Charlie Barker in recent months.
Chinn remains consistently decent.

Southbank

John nowhere near the first team on this performance.

Castillo broke forward well there and Ghandour was inches from a goal as he rattled the crossbar. 

Dazzler21

Oguntayo on for Ghandour? 

Weird sub?

Dazzler21

I feel like Oguntayo is playing LWB?

Dazzler21

Barker looks very comfortable at this level. 

SouthWest_Addicks

Always going to struggle because none of the regular goal scorers are out there. No Henry, Kanu, Gavin etc.

Dazzler21

John has tackled himself a good few times. 

Chin is involved in everything... Very JFC.

Dazzler21

LMAO Foul throw

Dazzler21

Our No.5 is very predictable. 

Dazzler21

Nile John off
Ralfi on to give us a hand. 

Chunes

I hope John was knocking some rust off because that was pretty bad.

Not in contention for any of our midfield roles shirley?

Dazzler21

Think this is the worst I have seen the u23's play. (this season)

Agree, he can't be in contention, and don't call me Shirley!

Southbank

Lucas Ness the only one in this group with first team potential (at some stage) I think.Very calm and composed every time I have seen him.

1-1

Dazzler21

Ness breaks forward, perfect throughball through a crowd of 4/5 players, Castillo runs onto it and crosses for Williams to finish in the bottom corner.

Well deserved equaliser 

Southbank

And on that note, he sets up our equaliser with a great run from the back!

Ness and Barker imo. 

The rest have been very subdued today, 

Dazzler21

Viggars has really failed to kick on too.

How does he compare to Deji? One for next season? Or someone to loan out to a lower level?

I think we'd need to see him in a few men's games. I can't imagine he's too far behind Elerewe.
