No loan players in our lineup. I assume they won't be playing in the cup game on Thursday, so we might as well send several of them back to their parent clubs now.
Alas, it doesn't seem like the U21s have the solution to our chronic defensive problems. We need another Rufus/Gomez/Konsa but I'm not sensing we have one lined up
The 3-2 defeat flattered them. Our man of the match would be the keeper. The team was out classed except on finishing. There number 9 a lucky man not to get a red card.

Pretty high bar to set but Mitchell might still be a key player and then there is Josh Laqeratabua, only 18 and playing for the U21s when not injured.
Our U21s line-up for tonight's Professional Development League Two South clash against Colchester United...
Adegoke; Bower, Toure, Bakrin, Enslin; Kedwell (C), Hand, Santos; Ladapo, Casey, Huke
Subs: Molyneux, Berry, Yamoah

headed goal from a corner.
Doh!

Toure was a liability throughout the game.
Dench has improved.
I hope that was the last time we see Santos in a Charlton shirt.
There was very little point in playing Casey alone up front against two very big defenders.
Bower played a good 45 minutes following his return from injury.
Gives a lot of context for the season and the demands on the U21 squad.
Will be interesting to see what sort of team we put out for the London Senior Cup game on Thursday.
(Have to say playing out from the back doesn't work when playing against a fitter side who press hard.)
