to me seems a strong U23 side. Whom might we see make a real impact in our first team next year or two?

Or anyone else that knows our yoof? Would be great to get thoughts on the above lot. Obvs Morgan, Barker and Davidsson quite well known, I hear good things on AMB, Henry, Ness and Mingi. Aucharia good stats before his injury. Are Wiredu/Dempsey likely to make it? Had heard good things on Powell but seems to be a squad filler rather than starter...0 -
Tbh you have mentioned all the hopefuls. Difficult to say who will make it. Cant see anyone new likely to break through and play a number of games for the first team. Personally been very impressed with Mingi. Barker has snuck in front of him, but he has improved immeasurably and is very composed and confident on the ball.Athletico Charlton said:Maynard-Brewer,

Think the academy are very excited about the current under 18s, which is obviously great to hear.3 -
That last bit is awesome to hear... The last couple of years its felt like we were getting to the point of exhausting our luck a bit in terms of constantly having kids coming through the Academy.bolloxbolder said:

It feels at some point as though we have to go back to the Premier League youth team where no one breaks through although might be a bit harsh on Barry Fuller, Stacey Long etc seeing both had good League One level careers
Great though if there are new players continuing to come through, means the academy hasnt really missed a beat with finding talent in the area, despite our ownership issues this last decade3 -

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere I hadnt seen it, interesting that Bowyer talks about possibly sending Barker on loan and says we have a good relationship with some local clubs, my guess is a possible loan move to Bromley for Charlie is brewing.
He stays local to the area and gets first team football, personally think League 2 would be better but he is still only 17 so maybe a season on loan to Bromley and see how he gets on2 -
Yeah surprised its Charlie that gets mentioned as having the loan deal rather than Aaron
Unless Bowyer thinks that Charlie has accustomed to First Team Football better so is more ready for it1 -
I think Bowyer likes using NL clubs as you can recall them anytime you want, if you need them back or the loan isn't going well.
Barker has certainly shown that he's physically capable of coping with "men's" football, which isn't always the case for 17 year olds4 -
I would be surprised if hes loaned out before Jan. Barker could be used for a few games until we are covered defensively.0

In the London Senior Cup we have been drawn away to AFC Croydon. These are not to be confused with Croydon Athletic who will play at the old National Athletics stadium this season.Should we get through we will then play either Wingate and Finchley or Erith, away from home.

Are we playing in this instead of the Kent Senior Cup?0

PopIcon said:Are we playing in this instead of the Kent Senior Cup?It would appear so. Although it seems the Kent Senior Cup has been replaced by this one given the bulk of teams in this competition are made of Kent League sides and a sprinkling of others from various other leagues.

Seems we had a friendly game with Palace today.
No idea on the score0 -
Is there such a thing as a "friendly" with Palace ? 🙄Henry Irving said:

Yes. When we are trying to sign one of their players 😉Fanny Fanackapan said:

Looks like we scored at least one yesterday

Johl Powell certainly seems to be coming along nicely, potential of a loan out?1
-
A thing of beauty that goal.MattF said:Looks like we scored at least one yesterday0 -
Final result was 2 -1 to us. Morgan was the only first teamer for us.
Two red cards as well so not much of a friendly.
Haven't got a line up13 -
Only seen him play a couple of times but he definitely has the attributes to go far. Hopefully continues to develop with us and doesn't demand Championship football after 5 mins of his 1st team debut (yes, that's a dig at Doughty)Dazzler21 said:Johl Powell certainly seems to be coming along nicely, potential of a loan out?5 - Sponsored links:

That was a really interesting read, thanks for posting.Henry Irving said:
Jason was always a bit of a hero for me as a player.
He comes across really well in that interview and he seems to have something about him as a young coach..
Will follow his career with interest and hope he goes right to the top.
Wouldn't bet against it.0 -

Good to see Aouachria on the bench - he is someone you would hope has the potential when fit to influence a league 1 squad.1

Young side for it's level and only a couple of slightly experienced players.
Wiredu on the bench after long injury. And Aouachria first return after doing his ACL.3 -
Ended 3-0 to Wigan1
-
That Harry Taylor on the bench no longer showing as a trialist? Anybody know if he has been given a contract?
Good to see Aouachria back on the bench at last 👍0 -
Also Carvalho has disappeared...0
-
Did Aouachria come on?0

Slightly surprised a team with Barker, Ness, Mingi, Henry, Powell, Vennings and Davison lost by 3. Wonder what team Wigan had out, all their best players would have moved on in the summer.0
