Nothing new to post, just want to savour/share the match atmosphere one more day.
Great game to watch even when we were on the back foot.
I’ll follow this crop of talented youngsters next season. Hopefully one or more will get a first team chance.
Not possible to predict who will push on but I fancy Miles Leaburn with his more direct style & physicality will be a handful to any defender.

Nice to see the two teams that finished top to on to play in the final. Will be very tough because one thing we do often struggle with is physicality and a lot of these northern teams have some big strong boys in them - Wigan last year and this year and Barnsley yesterday were physical and we struggled. With that in mind I hope it’s at The valley on a familiar surface and surroundings1

There should be a decent crowd. That game yesterday is the first time I have seen a Charlton team completing more that 4 or 5 passes all season and even when we brought the big fella Leaburn on we wasnt just limping it forward. Any chance we can get whoever coaches them to do a few sessions with the 1st team0

At one stage, when they were at the same level with us, you could hardly get a fag paper between Josh Umerah, Brandon Hanlan and Karlan Grant, but as things have progressed they have all ‘made it’, but now in those terms they have separated into Gold, Silver and Bronze success wise.1 -

Think Wigan beat us in a cup last year as Carragher was there cheering in his son.3

I just love this shot, total delight from us and exasperation at the same time from Barnsley, just wish the ground would open up and swallow them.. absolutely priceless...17 -
Sadly, I don't think we'll be playing the final at the Valley.
I took the photo this afternoon.

Has it been announced where the final is going to be held and when ? I know it's this weekend but was hoping it was going to be streamed. As it cant be at the valley now the stream must be in doubt0

Sheffield United live streamed their game with Colchester on YouTube so hopefully they'll do the same again.0 -

The pitch at Bramall Lane has also been dug up. They are hosting some Women's Euro 2022 games in July and needed to get it done.
The only date/venue I've seen is on the Sheff Utd website: Saturday 21st May, 12pm kick off at The Sheffield Utd Football Academy.1 -

And there's not a link to a match report since 26th March. That is six matches ago. I assume it is amateur hour at CAFC.0 -

Last week we were urged to consider attending the semi final.
Now, possibly just 3 days before the final is played, we have no idea about the venue or time.
I'm sure many of us would be interested in cheering on our Young Guns but the later we are informed of the details, the fewer will be able to attend....
Hardly forward planning.4 -

Don't be fooled. That's an old shot.

Is it asking too much, if nothing has been decided yet, to put a couple of lines on the OS stating date/venue is yet to be confirmed?2 -
