This game can only be seen as a positive in my opinion. The kids all got a bit of experience against the likes of Barry, Brunt, Austin etc. Admittedly, some look a little out of their depth at the mo - Frodo being the main one, but also Stevenson. Henry is only 16, so will hopefully kick on well. Wiredu is a bit raw, but I thought Vennings and Davison did ok.
Also, Pearce, Matthews, Gallagher, Alfie and Lockyer have had a rest. Hemed, Williams and Green have all had minutes.
We haven’t been destroyed today and with our injuries, this is possibly the best year to go out at the third round.
FULL-TIME | Plenty of positives for the young Addicks side to take from this cup tie, but our involvement in the competition is over for another year. #cafc

Think we could do without a replay. Sounds like a brilliant performance by kids up against some premiership quality and international experience. And two players back from injury! Fantastic.

Substitution
Substitution, West Bromwich Albion. Saul Shotton replaces Rekeem Harper.

Kids can be fairly proud.

Second half was quite entertaining
