Who’s Lennon?MuttleyCAFC said:I like Anderson. When I have seen him play my talent radar always goes into overdrive. More so than Lennon and even Kanu.0 -
Anyone know how many goals Kanu has got now? Has he got to 40 goals for the season yet?0

This Lee Burn is decent.
Anyone know anything about him?1 -

Very good watch
Santos MOTM for me.
The young keeper did well, couldn't do anything about the goals0 -
Looking at the video of the first goal, leaburn junior runs like his dad. I get that it's father and son but the resemblance is uncanny0

Didn’t watch the whole match but some of our U23’s looked like they should be playing in the first team. Some of our attacking play was breathtaking 😯1

The Addicks' U18 contingent impress above their age group, but are cruelly denied victory by two late Coventry strikes at The Valley...1

Anthony Hayes: So lads, we're going to give you a challenge and put you in the U23s this week
U18s (Post-Match): So where was the challenge?0 - Sponsored links:

Denied by the pace and power of the Coventry strikers, who I assume are at least a year or two older than most of our lads. Think our U23s are going to be mint next year, and probably still a lot younger than average.3

I went today and as I have a freebie Oyster card and a season ticket it cost me nowt - AND was a great game!!! That's value for money at last lol. What a waste of time/money getting season ticket holders to queue up for a paper ticket though (especially as I was let in without one by just showing my season ticket when I first arrived but popped out for a drink from corner shop as nothing in ground was open and it was all change when I came back 10 minutes later!) Seriously though it was a great afternoon and some lovely football. First time I have seen reserves in years.10

I'm talking about them vs their opposition.Henry Irving said:
Really don't understand why you are consistently so harsh on the kids.Dazzler21 said:What an awful game. We look lost and they look unwilling to attack.
Terry has said repeatedly that we're missing a lot of players to loans, injuries and illness.
We have an 16 year old in goal.
Coventry are well on top and deservedly lead but we are moving the ball well and starting to get back into the game.
Viggers had a good chance and we're sustaining some pressure now.
First half we didn't look great and Cov didn't look willing to attack. It was a boring half to watch. Second half we showed what we can do. I am not consistently harsh, but I will judge our u23's by how they compare to their opposition.

It's mainly a bunch of raw kids though, Dazzler. Most of the 23s team is out on loan.Dazzler21 said:What an awful game. We look lost and they look unwilling to attack.
Destiny is all, but that first half was poor. Leaburn did in fact look cumbersome, doesn't mean he can't finish... Maybe awkward or unwieldy would have been a better description for you, your highness.Henry Irving said:Context is all.
Last week a player scored a hat-trick but was called "cumbersome"
Fact is we've got back into the game, we don't look lost at all now and that's with a very young side.0 -

Yes context is all, that first half was poor. Leaburn did in fact look cumbersome, doesn't mean he can't finish... Maybe awkward or unwieldy would have been a better description for you, your highness.
We were out played first 25 mins but not after that.

Me touchy? Surely not, you're the one acting like I have said we need to write off this generation because we looked lost compared to our opponents in the first half.Henry Irving said:

I said what you said was "harsh", nothing about writing off a generation.
The team showed you were, indeed, being harsh and the score line and performance proved that no it wasn't a "poor" game.
Just enjoy the talent on show. A lot of those kids will have good careers, with us or someone else (higher or lower) and we've seen them play.2 -
Incorrect, the team turned around what was a poor start in a poor half.Henry Irving said:

Who is making stuff up, I never said you said anything, I said you're acting like I'd said that by saying I was "consistently harsh on them".
FWIW I love watching the u23s but will call it as I see it. Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the full second half due to work, but I will reiterate, they showed what we know they're capable of.0 -
I was also there this afternoon, also with a free Oyster card & season ticket, it was a very good afternoons entertainment.I'm not sure what some people expect from an under 23 game, it is about developing players & not about results.It is hard to find any consistency when every game there is different line-up.charlton4ever said:I went today and as I have a freebie Oyster card and a season ticket it cost me nowt - AND was a great game!!! That's value for money at last lol. What a waste of time/money getting season ticket holders to queue up for a paper ticket though (especially as I was let in without one by just showing my season ticket when I first arrived but popped out for a drink from corner shop as nothing in ground was open and it was all change when I came back 10 minutes later!) Seriously though it was a great afternoon and some lovely football. First time I have seen reserves in years.
Football at this level is not really designed for for armchair viewers to watch on their screens & for the few regular supporters who actually turn up to watch these games it is a good afternoon out without having to worry about the results.
As for the system of Queueing at the ticket office for a complimentary paper ticket & then entering through the turnstile, it does seem daft & not very environmentally friendly, also not helped with incorrect information on the club website, see below
Fans can also attend Monday's match in person at The Valley. Entrance is priced £3 adults and £1 concessions. Season ticket holders and Valley Gold members can attend for free but must present their season card/ Valley Gold membership cards at The Valley's turnstiles.

The football at u23 level is indeed solely about the development of the kids. It's not designed for spectators at all, not even those throwing out digs at those that can't attend in person a midweek game, but as it can be spectated in person or on stream anyone can have an opinion based on what they see.
Makes me laugh when people pop up with their holier than thou input purely because you're local enough to attend and are likely either retired or not needing to work.0
