    HT 0-0.
    Playing 3 up top we must have been caught offside about 7 times. ATM Morgan out doing Lapslie who is wider right than usual.
    The conditions are heavy and the players working hard for anything they can get. Up the slope second half.
  • Amazed that with that quality we are not comfortably ahead. Pitch might be a leveller. Anyone got feedback on Blumberg who looked 1st team material when I saw him?

    5 games without a win including a defeat to Bristol City in that time might be affecting confidence

    Probably doesn't help the fact that many of our U23s have either been on loan, in the first team or injured themselves - Phillips | Page | Dijksteel | Umerah | Ahearne-Grant cant have been involved in many U23 games of late?

    Dour game that came alive after the sending off of Hinds for Bristol City, Cummings got booked for his reaction as a large melee followed.
    The main feature was our forwards getting caught offside time and again.
    Josh Umerah looked about 75% fit but his goal was a nice one, diving header to beat a decent goalkeeper, and the second was the last kick of the game when Louis took a FK on the edge of the area and simply passed it into what looked like an unguarded net.
    Nice to win, nobody was sensational today.

    Very poor quality game. Personal stand outs were Djiksteel and Blumberg. Phillips was hardly troubled but neither was their keeper who basically played as a sweeper on the few occasions we weren't caught offside. Not a game for the purists.

    Good finish from a distinctly unfit Umerah. Ashamed to say was in the car park for our second.

    Jackson was only member of first team staff there. Scoop said the first team were training this afternoon which seems in conflict with Jackson being there. Damian Matthew when asked did not deny he might join up with former colleagues at Southend.

    Extremely boring game for most of the game. Was impressed with Blumberg and Morgan. All the action happened in the last ten minutes. Melee and two goals. But as others have said a very dour game.

    I assume Damian Matthew is scouting at the moment?

    How did Page perform?

    Missed the first half due to prior engagement. Pitch very heavy, slight benefit to us kicking up the slope 2nd half. Strong wind didn't help their keeper's clearances. As mentioned, dour stuff, lots of clattering tackles, including the one on Jo Cummings that got their lad red-carded for 'afters'. Was on my way towards the exit when Josh U scored the first (thought it was from a Lappo cross), good diving header, hung around for the final whistle when Yamfam converted the late free kick- think their keeper was still checking his wall when Louis took the kick!

    Albie Morgan a young midfielder for Charlton. Likes trying to pick advanced players out with a long ball, prepared to put in a shift in the crowded areas.

    Away to Palace today.

    Anyone going? If so, is there parking available?

    They do not usually let anyone park in their training ground. Parking available outside but it's on meters.....( assuming it's here) if at Goals further down road there is parking but again can get busy, so you may end up outside on meters.

    is Aribo being punished for some reason? Dropped for Saturday, U-23's today. Seems a bit odd to me.

    Hopefully just getting minutes in the legs after few weeks off.

    Very odd. Don't understand why Bauer isn't playing, surely he needs the match practice more?
