Really hope we don't just make mass changes at half time. Players need 70 mins now - don't need to see an U21/18 side for the half. We seemed to play well. No changes at half time please.
Like Bauer, he'll be an asset and have no concerns about him performing in the Championship.
Liked the look of Ba at Welling and he is showing nicely again. Covers ground, not affraid to tackle and has an eye for a pass. Only concern is whether he will be up to it physically.
Perhaps no surprise that Makienok has won literally every header he has challenged for. Looks ok on the deck as well. Shame that other than corners we haven't really put anything in from wide areas.
JBG started very sharp but has faded a bit. Still looks quality when on the ball though.
Negatives? Popes' kicking is less than convincing. Diarra has been caught square a couple of times and has given the ball away in dangerous areas a couple of times.
Hopefully not wholesale changes straight away, but would like to see Holmes-Dennis at somepoint.
I saw Nego at Wigan, being a NW Addick. He was pretty woeful at defending, but showed some promise going forward. Was quite slightly built and not suited to the hurly burly of the Championship. Having said that it was a year and a half ago, so he could have deleloped physically. Can't do any harm in giving him a run out in a friendly.
RE: Reza... Was speaking with Louis Mendez on Twitter before tonights match... Apparently Reza / Pete are only with Charlton at the moment because they're contracted with the club.
There are still no plans for them to be involved in any way
Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 9s9 seconds ago Attendance here is announced as 719. 223 of which are Addicks. Thank you for your support. #cafc #CAFCLive
Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 59s60 seconds ago 56' Jodie Jones tries his luck for Daggers, but Pope is equal to his curling effort. #cafc #CAFCLive
I wasnt able to attend so cant talk, but seriously, yes its advertised as a First-Team Pre-Season Friendly yet as per with every year, friendlies are all about fitness for the full squad, doesnt matter if its the First Team / U21s / U18s every player who wears the Charlton shirt deserves our support and people shouldnt stick their noses up just because Aaron Barnes / Tobi Sho-Silva havent appeared for the First Team!!

Looks like there will be lots of changes for the Addicks at the break. #cafc #CAFCLive
46' We're off and under way for the second half. All the subs coming your way. #cafc #CAFCLive

Second-half XI: Pope, Nego, Holmes-Dennis, Thomas, Lennon; Sinclair, Sho-Silva, Kennedy, Konsa; Umerah, Pigott. #cafc #CAFCLive
50' Umerah is through one-on-one but he fires straight at the keeper. #cafc #CAFCLive
51' McClure through for Daggers, but he hits a tame effort wide of the post. #cafc #CAFCLive

2nd half loads of changes and scrappy.
Umerah is a beast and I fancy him to score tonight. He looks up for it
Ahem...
