We are delighted to let you know that we have one confirmed guest and another to be confirmed guest for 24 April.

Dr Will Abbott took up his role as Director of Performance Services after being Performance Manager at Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, a club he had been at for more than a decade. His role focuses on the fitness and conditioning of the first team squad.

Our other guest, if they can make it, will be well known to all of you.

This will be a rare chance to hear about what goes on behind the scenes.

To remind you, The meeting at the Royal British Legion Club, where we meet, is located on Queensway, Petts Wood to the right of Morrisons and to the left of the Shell Petrol station.

Plenty of free car parking after 18.30 hrs and just a few minutes’ walk from Petts Wood station.

The meeting will get under way at 7.30 pm and will be the normal Q & A session.

The club will be open earlier so there is no problem if you get there early.

It's free, although we do pass a glass around, and all Addicks are welcome.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

    Looking forward to hearing about how improved fitness regimes have helped us this season and how the U21a and U18s are progressing.

    Excellent evening and great guests.

    Chris Lock comes over as a really good guy and I imagine good coach.  Quite honest about factors that limit the academy, ie cat 2, league 1, finances but also how those limitations can be used in our favour.

    The M'Bick story was great. Trained with first team and on second day first teamers couldn't deal with him.

    Will Power very in depth and explained how injured players can use their time focusing on developing other aspects of their development.

    Message very much about coordination between medical and sports science and first team. 

    Chris's England U17s have qualified for the Euros and World Cup.

    This season criteria for outward U21 loans was changed.

    Only to league or full time national league clubs now as before players went to part time clubs and fitness dropped and we couldn't monitor work load.

    Loans now only when right for us. Not the player or agents decision.

    When did he move down? I thought he was with the England Elite squad, which is U20s?

    Thanks for sharing the main points Henry.

    That explains what NJ meant about Mbick’s performances in training being frightening.

    Interesting on the u21 loans, hadn’t thought about the impact going to part time sides can have on fitness. Makes sense alongside us having a smaller u21 squad this season, and loans being used for those on the fringes of the first team but not quite there yet like Asiimwe and Zach Mitchell.
