Under 18s

dickplumb

It finished Charlton 0 Birmingham 2 at the training ground. Charlton had all of the game but couldn't convert their chances. It was 0-0 at half time. Birmingham came out firing in the second half and got a penalty when the Charlton goalkeeper Callum Thomas misjudged a through ball and went back when he could have cleared it. The second goal came from a breakaway when Charlton were pushing for an equaliser. I can't bring you the team news because there were a number of players i didn't recognise.
The players i did recognise were Yao, Konsa, Bone, C. Thomas, Lookman and Lapslie all played well.

How did Lookman do?

Lookman did very well but we were very lightweight up top.

Are Umerah and Hanlan now too old for U18s?

Umerah and Hanlan are regulars for the U21s. There were a lot of sixteen year olds that I didn't recognise. Also the time of KO was 11.00. We didn't Kick off till 12.05. The Communications department need to communicate more.

Thanks for the updates Dick. From the game at Griffin Park and some pre-season action, I'd hoped Konsa may have kicked on to at least a league loan. Seems very promising.

We would have communicated it was a 12 o'clock KO if we weren't told it was an 11am KO! There must have been a late change which does happen from time to time with the academy games.

It may not be the comms dept fault. But from the perspective of a supporter it is mighty annoying. I had things to do and busted a gut to get there for 11.00 only to find out it was 12.oo.

Konsa's still only a second year, won't turn 18 until later this year.

Lookman only got three this week. The boy's slipping

Anyone know anything about this morning's game home to Hull?

dickplumb

It finished Charlton 1 Hull 1. Jackson and Vetokele were training for an hour. They both looked as if they were running without too many problems. More to follow later on u18s.

From Ipswich OS

Town’s U18s came from behind to beat Charlton 2-1 at Playford Road this morning.

Having gone behind to Kenneth Yao’s goal for the Addicks, who are top of the U18 Professional Development League Two South with the Blues second, central defender Luke Woolfenden (pictured) equalised in the 81st minute and striker Ben Morris won it with a penalty on 90, the first-year scholar’s 10th goal of the season.
