Seems churlish to say but not a great performance. Cook and Thomas were my stand out players and Lennon, beeney and konza were OK. Ansah confuses me. He ambles around at half pace, is not a fox in the box, but was razor sharp when chances came his way. Usual rubbish from callum messi. Barnsley the better side until the second goal. Their left winger was called Johnny Giles.
Did not see any scouts there but Jon fortune borrowed my team sheet.
Hard fought win against a dogged Barnsley side who never gave up and were still in it until the correct sending off resulted in our third. Stand-out for me was Thomas; strong, quick and skillful at CB. Regan CC was typically energetic back in CM alongside the deeper sitting Muldoon whose surge led to the sending off. He then swung in a dangerous deep free kick that was nodded back across for Kennedy to bundle in the clincher.
Have to agree with Bolloxbolder. We didn't play very well but ended up 3-0. I thought Aribo has something about him. Ansah took his goals well but he still doesn't impress me. Not many players on view are ready for first team action.Holmes Dennis was watching from the sidelines. I wonder if he is going out on loan.

possibly right back tomorrow if silly can't play midweek games after playing at the weekend?
Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 4m4 minutes ago 14' Chance! Great mazy run on the right from Joe Aribo. @AzzaBarnes meets his cross at the far post and his shot is well saved by Girling.

Aribo is getting lots of game time, would be interested to hear from those that have seen a decent amount of him as to what sort of player/potential they think he could be ?

I am just drying out. That was a downpour of biblical proportions. In the first half Aribo looked neat, Bikey was organising the defence. Umerah made a couple of powerful runs but it was a sloppy goal to give away from a corner. Nothing much to report apart from Barnes going off injured. What we needed was Zac Ansah to nick us a goal.
The heavens opened and torrential rain for 25 minutes. Roads flooded around Blackfen on way back to sunny Belvedere.
We got out of jail and will doubtless have a stronger side when rearranged. Barnes went off injured and was replaced by Alex Kelly who has a lovely touch on him. Bikey was big and poor. Thomas is a good player and Konsa is definitely one for the future although last two games we have been playing him in midfield. Don't think Aribo is going to make it personally, but we'll see.
Only Konsa and Thomas look like future first team players atm.

The boy is on fire. How much longer can Guy ignore his claim to be starting in the first team. Ansah is the answer

IN-FORM | That's @ZakAnsah's fourth goal in two games. #cafc
How is he not even on the bench for the first team?
75' DOUBLE SUB | Harriott and Ansah replaced by Kennedy and McKenzie-Lowe. #cafc
Good. Zak being saved so he can play tomorrow or Saturday
Look forward to hearing from the U21 regulars
Did not see any scouts there but Jon fortune borrowed my team sheet.
Anyone find out if Aribo and McKenzie-Lowe have signed?
