The fact is, if we wanted to win tonight we could have at 2-0 but we switched formation because the result isn't important and this is about preparing for important games to come. Having said that, as a fan I would have liked to have beaten them but we had a very young side out there and they outplayed experienced Championship players for large chunks of the game. I thought Anderson had a good game, needs to work on his passing which is a strength of his but you get less time. Elewere had a good game, As did Fraser and May showed he can play on his own up front. CBT looked dangerous and Asimwe is a real find. Lots of good performances but Dobbo was the stand out for me.
Let's be honest, the side was very encouraging because it is not our strongest side. We were missing Hector and Jones in defence for starters. What it did possibly suggest was that we have to be careful to give these talented kids a route to the side.

I don’t think Anderson has a problem with passing, needs to keep his concentration on the simple pass.
Looks very promising with this performance. First hour the better team by far...then the changes came and they brought on their speed merchants and squared it up. Some very strong performances from the squad and the keeper was much more comfortable with the old fashioned clearances (and great blocking tackle near the end). Senior players missing tonight and fresh talent acquired today. Could be tasty this season.

Which was my point, it is a strength of his but it is harder when there is more pressure on you. Hs passing in the youth side got my attention. I think he could get into contention for a first team starter if he continues on his trajectory.
Hector, Jones, Edun, Leaburn (September), AMB, and possibly Terry Taylor to push for starting positions to join the likes of May, Dobson, Ness and Fraser who is looking good. Young Anderson is pushing to be in the 18. Campbell, CBT pushing for starting depending on formations.
Seesaw of emotions with the anxiety ridden Charlton fans but we stepped up many divisions from Wealdstone and competition is taking place.
Really enjoyed that game, good entertainment. Some great football played by us, and a good time to learn. Rather we concede 2 from counter attacks now than in the league when we need points.
Comments
they could start the game with ten men and still not lose.
Esse looks a real talent and was running the show for them until McGrandles came on.
It's funny because Dobson kept Flemming quiet, but couldn't handle Esse. Wonder how McGrandles would've faired against Flemming.
Calm down - I simply thought he looked as though he'd lost a yard of pace from what I remember
Not sure we will

Should be very happy.
Far more positives than negatives.
The way they celebrated getting it back to 2-2, that surely has to count

Dean Holden's gig and I wish him well.
Welcome to Charlton.
