Match Preview Charlton U18s v Cardiff City U18s - FA Youth Cup - 16 December at the Valley - KO 7.00

KAG been down for a few minutes now, just stretched for a ball and went down holding his leg

Well worked corner by Cardiff almost leads to a goal

Will the match go to Extra Time or straight to Penalties?

KAG seems to be running ok now

How do we look Pauline? Are the youth.any good?

Lookman whips in a free kick which almost went straight in, but took a touch out for a corner

2nd Charlton sub

Samuel Bone comes on for Alex Kelly

4 minutes added time

Thanks for the updates paulie

thanks Paulie

Will put a few words about each players performance when I get home and warm my hands up

Dimitar Mitov- Not at fault for the goal took a nasty deflection, was not really tested during the game but did look a bit dodgy coming for corners

Aaron Barnes(C)- played ok seemed to lead the team well, good communication with everyone out there

Archie Edwards- good going forward, he takes the corners which most were good deliverys but there was a couple of poor ones including 1 straight out for a goal kick

Regan Charles-Cook- did not do much in the first half but improved in the 2nd

Kenneth Yao- played ok without doing anything outstanding

Ezri Konsa- looked very good 2nd best Charlton player on the pitch

George Lapslie- a few decent touches and passes nothong outstanding

Karlan Ahearne-Grant- disappointing, maybe expected to much from him but for a player with first team experience I expected more than he showed today

Brandon Hanlan- MOM great performance was disapointed to see him go off but definitely a payer for the future

Ademola Lookman- quiet first half, broke into life in the 2nd some great play and unlucky not to score

Joshua Umerah- came off the bench and showed some good pace, another player who looks good for the future

Samuel Bone- was not really on long enough to make any sort of impression

to sum up we looked good, just lacked a finish and very unlucky to concede so late Cardiff did not deserve to win, but there are some players coming through who look good.

Would also like to mention Cardiff's number 8 Jamie Veale, I mentioned 7 minutes before he scored he looked good for them, definitely a player for the future for them.

"to sum up we looked good, just lacked a finish and very unlucky to concede so late Cardiff did not deserve to win, but there are some players coming through who look good."

Sounds familiar
