Sounds like we're planning for next season with four trialists in the squad.

I don't know what happened there. 1-1 as bolloxbolder said, very poor. Josh Umerah scored from the penalty spot.eaststandmike said:Are you talking to yourself dick?

After last night they've had enough of Pep and want to play for Lee Bowyer instead8 -
The match was played on the top pitch at Sparrows Lane, next to the pavilion. Spectators had to endure waterlogged conditions as the drainage at the training ground shows no sign of improving.
The pitch was bumpy and a scrappy game ensued. In the first half the increasingly impressive Albie Morgan ran the game from his holding midfield position. He provided the one moment of pure class in the second half and indeed the match with an instant 30 yard clipped shot which beat the keeper all ends up, but hit the bar. It appeared that in the second half he was asked to play further forward. This resulted in Colchester having the better of the second half and they probably deserved to win. I felt their second disallowed offside goal was an extremely harsh decision.
Umerah battled gamely up front where he was often isolated against two tough and tall centre backs. He chased a through ball, which he reached before the keeper just inside the box and was upended for his trouble for a definite penalty. He took it and scored with a bullet shot to the top left of the goal. I would not attach any blame to Cummings for their own goal, as he sought to defend a hard and low cross from the right. Indeed he played well throughout and nearly attoned with a header that cannoned off the bar.
Two trialists started. A well tanned blonde haired centre half who I think was called George or John (my hearing is not the best). He was steady, but on first viewing no better than what we already have. The second was a forward called Junior. He showed some nice touches, trickery in possession and good control. He was replaced by a similarly lightweight trialist who did nothing to impress.
Jackson stood on the supporters viewing side. Did not see any scouts that I recognised. The team is missing key players like Dijksteel, Hanlan, Charles Cook and Maloney. Even if they win their remaining 3 games, it may not be enough to get 2nd place and entry into the play offs which has been the norm in previous years.11 -

Bolton look a decent team. It will be a tough second half.2

58' GOAL! The Addicks double the lead through Umerah. Doughty's corner is met by the striker's cushioned finish on the volley and it's 2-0 Charlton! #cafc

Any news on the trialist twins @dickplumb ?1

I don't know who the trialists were, but they didn't get on. Blumberg and Cummings were very solid at centre half. Their goalkeeper made three or four good saves to keep the score down. We moved the ball very quickly and well in the second half. We played with three at the back and it suited us. I haven't see much of Ben Dempsey but he sat in front of the defence and broke up play well. He also took two nasty tackles in the second half. Morgan kicked one of theirs which caused a mini scuffle.Henry Irving said:Any news on the trialist twins @dickplumb ?

With Ipswich messing up we will make the play offs if we can win our last 2 games. Similar scenario for the under 18s too.1
