This team has real quality, to have won their league, Kent Senior Cup and now the National Champions. Couldn't have gone any better. The future is bright and very excited. Really hope to see these youngsters progress into the first team. I expect a few will do and also be included in a lot of pre season games. A year to really push on now for a few of these lads. One thing too, these young players aren't just below 21, in theory we have a young group here meaning it's even more impressive.
Well done to all, and a big well done to Nathan Jones too.
It sounded like a great game by the young Addicks, and was certainly an excellent commentary by Peter, Terry and Olly - well done to all concerned, and three great striker finishes!!
This is the inaugural season so there was no promotion. Palace have "category 1" status. To earn this you have to show that you have been reliant upon your youth products in the past. Palace, having produced a number of average Championship players who feature in their first team and therefore fall into this category, however as our best young talent has gotten sold to Premier League clubs e.g. Shelvey to Liverpool, Jenkinson to Arsenal, we fall into "category 2". This should however help our goal of being granted category 1 status.
Well done, now lets see them get some of them get some first team cup experience next season and league bench time.
Agree but not with Charlton just yet.
Remember Piggott was on loan to Bromley last term.
Get them out to leagues 1 and 2
I agree up to a point.Pigott has come on in leaps and bounds this Season.Seems like a natural goalscorer.Joe is not ready for a first team place yet but I think that Feely and Smith should be pushing for a first team squad place.I am really impressed with both of them,as I am to a lesser degree with the whole U21 squad.

If they are good enough they are old enough. What I have seen of Pigott, definitely worth a spell on the bench to come on at some stage, particularly when you look at the current strikers we have next season.

LOL but in case anyone is confused not true.
Palace aren't cat 1 but somehow got to play in the cat 1 league. Paul Hart wasn't pleased.
You can't get promoted as such. The league you play in should reflect your academy status but since palace got away with maybe so can we.
Smith will be 22 next season and Feely 21, hope to see them get a chance in the first team. Pope aside the others are all a couple of years younger so have a bit more time to play at this level.
Just got on train back from cardiff..that was top notch better than many leauge games i have been too.they really wanted that.surprised at the quality never hoofed the ball at all always worked out from the keeper.3-1flatters a little bit but were definetly the better side.harriot a problem for them to contain taken off late on after getting booked for very little.proud of all the players well worth the trip.

Who wore the 11 shirt for us? A Cardiff city mate is raving about him.

It's beginning to permeate throughout this club.
A great lad who will make a fine Charlton player.
