"Edwards - Not seen him play in a while. Played well when he came on. Picked up a yellow for a strong challenge, even though he won the ball. Was a bit harsh"
The yellow card actually went to RCC, who committed a foul just before the tackle by Edwards. The referee signed that is was for a cumulative number of fouls. RCC was looking particularly pi55ed off at the time...
Ah okay my bad. Edwards' reaction seemed as if it went to him.

I think he THOUGHT he was going to get a yellow, for a perfectly good tackle, and then realised it was for RCC...

I know its resources, but we don't get much content or reporting consistency on both the 23's and the 18's matches and progress - other clubs seem much more able/ willing to do this - tried to ask club before about this, but no feedback. 23's seems better but even so, no idea from the club official site on the game is always disappointing.

It was an away game in Yorkshire. Clearly CAFC were relying on Leeds to post updates and the scorer but they did only the former.
Don't think the coverage of our home U23 games is any worse than we read from Leeds today, better in fact.

We report where we can. Today, as an example, was away in Leeds so there's no feasible way we can fully report on the game. We have the kitman on the phone giving us updates when possible and we will eventually receive video footage from the analyst at which point we would be able to put together a report. In comparison, we give fairly in-depth coverage of our home games including multi-angle highlights and minute-by-minute reports on Twitter as well as a match report soon after the final whistle.
We're never able to report the U18s live other than Youth Cup/play-offs as they play all their games on a Saturday morning and we're needed elsewhere. Again, we will put together reports based on video footage when/if we get it, otherwise it's a case of catching up with the coaches and getting reports directly from them.
There are full reports, results and an updated league table for both U18s and U23s in the matchday programme and I like to think that, compared with most other clubs, our academy coverage is fairly decent with the resources we have.
We also look to stream academy games live from The Valley when we can and did so last season which was received brilliantly by supporters, so look out for more of that this season!

Hire me to follow the under 23's all season, I'll update Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Instagram, all that jazz, all you gotta pay is the traveling fees, the data plan for the phone, a beefy emergency charger and a modest salary of 26-28k a year or so! Put a word in Olly, I'll even travel to Checkatrade games

Get in
I'm sure it was Hackett-Fairchild but it is being kept a secret to keep the scouts away
Triallist Reeco Hackett-Fairchild was the Addicks player on the scoresheet for the U23s this afternoon. #cafc
You can laugh @bolloxbolder but there you go.
He is the new Ian Wright as I told you all before.

RHF is the real deal
