@seth plum in the past seasons the structure for PDL Div 2 (what we play in) has been 2 Divisions North and South. You play all the teams in your division twice home and away. Because the leagues are not large, you play the teams in the other division once a mixture of homes and aways. The cup competition is the Premier League Cup and involves Div 2 and Div 1 (Cat A academies) teams. This is normally a group of four and you play all teams home and away with top teams going through to the knockout stage. At the end of the season top 2 in each Div 2 division play semi-final and then final play offs. After writing that it could all be a load of old crap and the structure could all be different this season
Steve Avory has agreed with the change saying it is clear by the age of 21 if a player has a first team future.
Interesting comment given the likes of Clayden are around still
There may be one or two but we have had many 20-22 year olds that were never going to play first team football in recent years.
One Clayden is ok but 4 or 5 isn't.
To me Clayden has only featured so regularly in pre-season due our dismal lack of depth at LB and indeed of left footed players, rather than because Garner really rates him
"We’ve always regarded it as an U19 to U21 programme in terms of the development aspect of it, because it’s our belief that when a player gets to 21 he should be ready for senior football. We obviously aim for that senior football to be here in our first-team, but if it’s not here it will be elsewhere.”
Last night last U21 pre season friendly Crystal Palace 0 Charlton 4. goals from Kanu, Ladapo, Williams, and Ness. Team Harness, chin, Clayden, Henry, Elerewe, Ness, Santos, Anderson, Kanu, Williams, and Ladapo. Subs Bakrin, Molyneux, Barker, Adigun, Gavin. Only Barker, and Adigun came on.

I'll take that. A small morsel of comfort in a Charlton world of never ending, whats? Ifs! And buts! (Bloody hell, I'm obsessed with pegging now!)
Any major names missing from that, other than Kanu, Ness, Chin and Henry? Imagine they, plus Clayden, MacG, Gilbey and a couple of others start tomorrow night

Up to five over age players allowed.

Brilliant if true.
Assuming Leaburn and Clayden are staying there for the time being.
Anyone else missing?
