Under 18's updates - 24/25 season (from p71)

Southbank

I met a  Southend scout the other day who had been around Charlton a few years ago. He said our scouting/recruiting had taken a dip a few years ago and we should not expect any real quality for a couple of years more as a result. He named somebody who was to blame but I won't pass that on. Anybody know if there is any truth in that?

Charlton’s U18s continued their impressive start to the season with another victory as Richard Afrane-Kesey’s late double ensured a 3-1 success over Queens Park Rangers at Harlington on Saturday.

Charlton’s U18s are now 10 games unbeaten this season after staging an incredible comeback from three goals down against Ipswich Town at Sparrows Lane on Saturday.

Proper chip off the Bowyer block. Well done lads! Coyyr!

Is Tolu Lapado still with us? Seemed far superior to Adgemang (who had potential) in Ireland and at 16 should surely be in U18. Has he been poached?

We have a Ladapo sighting - He was on the bench for yesterday's game against Palace.

It finished 1-1. Luca Albon scored the goal.

What happened to Balthatca (sp?) and the other joint U18 manager.

Look forward to Hayes taking over when Bowyer goes.

A 6-0 win at Coventry City has moved the U18s to the top of the league on goal difference.

Can anyone @Ollywozere confirm if the 18's are playing their home game v colchester on Friday morning?

Professional development league says 11 start but was originally scheduled for Saturday and website not changed.

Cheers. Above report confirms match is Friday at 11. Three of us going to this.

What a farce. Drove over to the training ground only to be told match off but a behind closed doors friendly was being played.

Nothing on the website or social media. Cheers Charlton. Amateurs.

Wonder what the BCD match was about?  Fitness for who but too close to Cardiff to be useful? Ir trialists for January?

Nice to see Toure getting a run out above his age group. The kid is a beast!

Won 1-0 away at top of the table Millwall today. Well done the youth.

Aaron Henry got the goal today and is a real prospect.
