    Charlton U18s: Molyneux, Hobden, Mitchell (Anderson 70), Laqeretabua, Bower, Hand (Dench 46), Ladapo, Kamara, Huke, Reilly (Kanu 74), Leaburn.

    That Laqeretabua at the back looks very promising.  He has emerged recently and I wondered where he had come from - it seems he is playing a couple of years up and is only 15 (maybe 16 now).

    Big and strong but seemed quite intelligent on the ball too.  One to keep an eye on.

    Is there a date for the FA Youth cup game v Brighton yet ? 
  • Wow what an assist that is  from Miles, Kevin de Bruyne (spelling?) would be proud of that.
    Good genes in that young fella!

    FYI Bower is a left back and is also playing up a year.  Lots of potential in those scorers

    Miles missed the first few months of the season with an injury and then caught Covid

    Impressive from Kanu, let's hope he keeps his early promise, we have had lots of forwards who have scored a lot of goals in the youth teams and never break through and drop out of football. Some just develop early, and once the other lads catch up, they are found out a little bit!

  • Who was the youth player who scored something like a thousand goals aand what became of him?
  • Alex Willis scored a lot and is now in USA at not much of a level as I recall. 
    Varney banged them in for a while then the last I saw him was playing for a 6th division Bromley and Orpington Sunday League side!

    Alex is still playing College Football out there - Dont know if he's impressing at a level high enough to end up in the MLS Draft though at some point as not sure how it completely works out in the States.

    Great chance for Man Utd and Villa to have a closer look at the players they’re considering poaching 😉

    I know you're joking (going by the emoji), but if anyone thinks its a bad idea taking part because of this reason - They should take a look at the comment on the Burstow thread... "Everyone's heard of Burstow" - If any decent kids are going up there, am sure United and Villa will already know about them :)

    Great experience for the U16s and shows the standing the academy has in the football world.

    If if if we get cat 1 we'll be playing this sort of team every week.

    Sort it out @Swisdom 😉

    Yep, all clubs at that level will or should know who our better u23s, u18s and u16s are. I’d want us to do the same if we ever get back to the Prem.

    A mate of mine works for a premier league club academy, he knows most of the Charlton under 18 because he hears them being mentioned by the other academy boys. Most of the lads probably know each other in the London area.

  • All of the teams directly below the U18s in the table dropped points over the weekend/earlier today.

    They are now 9 points clear with a game in hand and a +26 goal difference advantage.
  • I didn't know that Kevin Lisbie's twin sons play for Watford U18s. One of them (Kyreece) scored a hat-trick on Saturday.

    So we rocked up to a (mini) tournament with Man Utd and Villa and won it. Superb work.
