82’ GOALLLLLLLL | Henry Rylah bags his brace! The forward steps up from the spot once again, slotting in his second and our sixth of the afternoon! 2-6
90+1’ GOALLLLLL | Manu Wales adds a seventh in stoppage time! A superb passage of play from the young Addicks sees Wales fire in with a low strike to round off the scoring on the road. 2-7
Superb 2nd by Dixon. Pretty sure he is now over 6ft. A summer of weights and he is a shoe-in as Small s replacement. He used to come in from the right for Arnett Gardens, so will compliment TC.
But I wish NJ would swop wingers for 5/10 minutes a couple of times a game, to wrong foot defenders.
Charlton's U21s return to The Valley on Monday afternoon to take on Coventry City and supporters can watch all of the action live on CharltonTV (KO 2pm BST).
The fixture will be played behind closed doors but CharltonTV will be supplying single camera coverage of the clash, with commentary from Terry Smith.
If it is anything like the previous u21 game at 'The Valley' when the Wycombe/ Wrexham tickets were on restricted sale, plus having to get a ticket to enter the u21 game it was quite chaotic for the ticket office, so perhaps play-off tickets will be on sale & the club are trying to make it easier for the staff.

Think this is it, given season tickets won’t be available at the ticket office either

Unless there's news re the Ticket Office opening times, Monday IS a Bank Holiday....
Millwall and Bournemouth both won yesterday so Bournemouth are top and Spanners 2nd but third place Brentford have a game still to play.
If they win they will take one of the top two spots.
We have finished 4th. Disappointing given we are usually top two but it was a disrupted season with the main two strikers, Casey and M'bick out injured and many other U21s in the first team squad.
A lot of U18s got experience in the U21s which is one of the points of a development squad.
U21s I don't recall us finishing top two for a while, as its an Age Group thats disrupted with players going up to the First Team or out on Loan
Edit: 1st - 6th - 7th - 1st - 1st - 2nd - 4th - 4th - 5th - 4th - 8th - 8th is our U21 record, with 2017/18 being the last time we got into the Play-Offs in the Professional Development League, 4th is definitely an improvement and a return to normality given the last two seasons.

We've now scored 88 goals, the most in the division and let in 44.
Bournemouth have scored less (83) and conceded more (47) but are top. Golfie can explain that.

There were two v Peterborough.
But if it is streamed then we'll see them anyway.
Or save a few bob on stewarding?
YouTube would have been free too.

I understand quite a few are going at the end of this reason.
NJ wants next season's under 21s to be the reserves for the first team.
Squad for those interested
Keepers
Maclorg
Reid
Defenders
Bower
Gough
Hunter
Hobden
Laqueretabua
Toure
Midfielders
Enslin
Henry
Huke
Kedwell
Rylah
Forwards
Casey
M'Bick
Reid, Enslin, Laqueretabua and M'bick will clearly all stay given they are edge of first team and in contract.
