So a bit of digging and two of the trialists have been released by EPL clubs and the third is or was with a league 2 side

That gets rid of the Shrewsbury rumour I guess

Gisappointed · August 27

If the trialist scorer was merely 'nippy', obviously not Dixon.

I think they will assess Dixon before blooding him, there is a big step in physicality from Jamaican Premier to the third tier of English football.

One thing I noticed about the triallist goalkeeper we had today was his ability at kicking the ball out. His kicks were pretty accurate, but he tempered trajectory, length, and power, when it seemed suitable. Most of the time to pretty good effect.
Maybe I imagined it, but he was a lot more than simply hoof it long, maybe he is part of the new fashion of goalkeeper/defender or something.

From the telly box, it Looks like the directors box is pretty busy.

Everybody who attends is squeezed in there.

Enslin has played in a number of positions whenever I have seen him. Always seems authoritative.

He could play for Japan. His younger brother is also in the academy.

seth plum · August 27

I have a feeling that Enslin might be one whose 'first team' debut will come in the silly buggers cup this season.
If we field a team of lesser playing first team squad members plus some U21's, Enslin might get a mini breakthrough.

There are brief highlights on the official Charlton TV channel.

Where did you hear he could play for Japan? Would be good to get that added to FM if there's a reliable source.

Pity I missed this game, coincided with my 2pm keep fit class.

Transfermarkt seem to believe it: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kai-enslin/profil/spieler/1085239

Transfermarkt has him down as dual citizenship, England and Japan

Scoham · August 27

Thanks all, great spot. There's a short interview here which I found after Googling his name in Japanese which is on Transfermarkt. Translating it shows his dad is English, his mother is Japanese and he can speak Japanese.

I met him mum a couple of years ago as an u18 game. She was soooooo excited to be there. And I can confirm she is Japanese

Talking to his mother (who is Japanese) and father in the game at Dulwich Hamlet last season. He has been scouted by Japanese representatives.

fenaddick · August 29

Some good stuff in here about the U21’s. Players in the academy clearly being coached to play the NJ way which is good.

Playing Burnley away at 1pm, no stream unfortunately.

Here’s how our U21s line-up against Burnley in today’s PDL2 fixture: Trialist A; Hobden, Hunter, Bower; Trialist B, Mwamba, Kedwell, Huke, Enslin; Rylah, Mbick Subs: Toure, Woodham, Cann, Fullah, Trialist C

Henry Irving · September 1

Assuming the trialists are Reid, Davies and Adepoju again.

Although the order would suggest one is a midfielder or defender.

Casey still unwell? 🤔

Playing right wing back perhaps, but from the little we know about them Timi Davies is listed as a winger, so probably him
