Sounded like a good workout against a top half championship side. Hope JFC injury isnt too bad.5

a) They won 2-0
b) They almost certainly live in London rather than Norfolk anyway!

Dijksteel impressed me tonight. Sarr looked solid at times and then he gave the ball away in appalling fashion for the second. Fosu looked exciting at times and Holmes really put himself about. Some quality balls from Clarke too.
Norwich a level above but I'd be surprised to see that team do anything this season.
P.s. I wasn't criticising your efforts Ross, just Kent Live's lack of knowledge of the players

Norwich were better than us and won in a relative stroll.
That said Djiksteel was our best player. Sarr was also good and RCC when he came on. When the Norwich subs eased the pressure Barnes improved a lot.
Clarke has a lot of improvement to make yet.2 -
Hoping for a big season from him. Really impressed with with what I've seen of him in a Charlton shirt so far.ross1 said:20:53 Forster-Caskey shoots and keeper makes easy save...
...Charlton look like they mean business this half...
Edit: just seen he went off injured. Here's hoping it's not too serious and we actually have a midfield left by the start of the season.3 -
I didn't think it was sarr, it was a midfielder but I was bored and don't remember who.

Not a bad performance. Played some nice stuff at times. Couple of individual errors led to their goals. Magennis looked a bit disinterested and Croffs poor. Dijksteel mom for me - very talented. Holmes full of energy but the red mist descends a bit too much at silly times.3

Unbelievable! Coming out the ground tonight. Three blokes slagging off Clarke! Typical of some of our fans! GIVE THEM A CHANCE!!!!7

Sounds like our number 9 & number 10 are on completely different wavelengths from this report. I know it's early days but I really hope we get more in upfront this season. No first team keeper or working forward partnership was exactly where we were this time last yr. We havent had a capable forward partnership for years.Scoham said:1 -
Was a patchy, makeshift xi from us.0

Not since BWP and Yann. Even BWP and Hayes worked very well.OhEddieYouds said:

Ultimately we need another winger, number 10, striker and goalkeeper. All of which as good as or better quality than what we have already.5 -

FYI - I agree with you about giving him a chance, just commenting on what I've picked up across twitter etc3 -
KR doesn't do two up front0

It was a friendly so can't rely on it too much.
We started well, passed the ball well and created one or two chances but after they scored it was all Norwich who more and more took control. The second goal was always coming and they could have had more.
We are a long way behind Norwich but they are a league higher and with parachute money so no discrace.
We did ok and against lesser teams in league 1 could be ok.
Mag was good, Dijksteel shone, Barnes got a bit of a run around but whitschidt (sp) is an excellent player and Barnes was out of position.
Sarr got caught out a couple of times but was otherwise good, Clarke didn't do too much, Philips made some good saves and had no chance with either goal.
Fosu was busy and won a few free kicks, Holmes buzzing around as normal.

Clarke gave the ball away a fair bit but what a through ball for Holmes for the possible penalty. Probably gave away one of the best fouls I've seen when he was laying on the floor and grabbed their guys foot.1

Dijksteel superb. Clarke impressive. Sarr played well, with the occasional lapse. Paddy sound. Match played at a good tempo. No complaints about the score but plenty of good moments for us. A pleasant evening, and looking forward to Ipswich on Saturday. Can't wait for the Bristol Rovers game !!
COYA !!

I know there were obvious absentees, however over the course of the season you could say that what we saw this evening was the average strength overall of Charlton Athletic 2017-2018.
I can see every player used tonight being needed as the story of the season unfolds and if my theory is right we have to improve our average by getting a few signings in.
Our other hope is going through the the season with our absolute first choice 11 unchanged.
Katrien Meire was there and she could see what everybody else could see. If Robinson is not supported further by his yearned for four more signings then the regime is letting him down and undermining him. Allowing Robinson to bring players in is not about him asking for the moon, and a a reluctant regime not wanting to indulge him, it is about what is needed. Duchatelet gives us free money for no discernable reason, he should give us some more.5 -
Some of Sarr's passes were superb. Dijksteel was briiliant. A real fighter.7
-
Sarr and Dijksteel did well to ramp up the pressure on first team starters.
Usual dross that I see when I go to the Valley, though: pre-season or not.1 -

Shit.10 -
Sarr appears to have bulked up considerably. He is now almost as wide as is he is tall. Thought he was excellent tonight. He didn't give the ball away for the second is was Barnes.
Clarke is going to get pelters this season. He was pretty anonymous, but was getting a bit of a slagging already.
The concern is we look powderpuff going forward.
Felt sorry for Barnes, out of position and given a real going over.
Pretty tippy tappy but not a lot else. On that showing we will be looking at midtable IMO.1 -
I really enjoyed watching the first half and thought Dijksteel looked the real deal. I can see him becoming a regular next season.
