A Charlton XI have a pre-season friendly at Tonbridge tomorrow at 7:45pm according to Tonbridge. I haven't seen much mention of this elsewhere. Anyone else planning on going? Last year Tonbridge hammered us and it was a real men against boys affair (we couldn't cope with anything in the air). I am expecting a much better Charlton display this time. Nice weather forecast, so good for a beer or two!

Bet that was sweet for Santos as we released him in the summer.
Sam Lavelle just in front
5 is Ben Reeves
Working on the rest
14 = Hunter?
1 = McLorg?
5 = Z Mitchell (don't think so but maybe)?
Total waste of money if we can't beat Tonbridge.
What has the academy ever done for us?
First half we were excellent going forward and were regularly opening up the Tonbridge defence. We went ahead but were pegged back soon after, but then raced to a deserved 3-1 lead at half time. The second half was a different story. Tonbridge made some tactical changes - particularly subbing the very poor left back - and they dominated the half, scoring three good goals - 2 from Santos - to end up 4-3 winners. It was a decent performance from what looked a very young Charlton XI, just a shame they couldn't sustain it in the second half.
I can't remember exactly who was playing, but Casey played 60 minutes and scored. Mbick and Rylah were second half subs. There were a few trialists too.
Would be interesting to give him a loan in the NLS/NL to see if can take his scoring record into senior football.
Did Fraser play 😁
