Currently playing away at Birmingham City. 1-1 at half time.

Any idea of the line up @Paddy Powell

Now losing 2 - 1 after being a goal up

We pulled it back to Desmond on 73 but they scored two quick goals to make it 4 - 2.

Seconds to go

Assume this was a friendly but good to see Vennings and Wassim playing

Other 2 goals scored by Charles Clayden , a friendly match arranged  at short notice

Mental we’ve not even given him a chance on the bench yet still persisting with central midfielders out wide

Yep you'll note I suggested he should be on the bench alongside Aaron Henry IF we had nothing left to play for, now Vs Hull he'd be an unknown quantity and a potentially exciting opportunity for the lad.

I expect both to break through next season.

Risk versus reward. I’m sure a few youngsters will be blooded in cup competitions next season as a minimum

Always feel sad for the lads released - must be shattering to be told that

Indeed. My son has either played football or cricket with four of the boys involved at Charlton - Richard Chin and Euan Williams who are both on pro contracts and Harry Beadle and Freddy Barton who have both been released. Slightly surprised with Freddy leaving so early as he did look like a tenacious full back in the Solly mould who had a bit about him. We just have to trust those in charge and wish him and the others released every success in their careers.

what was the name of the Aussie kid signed last summer, is he still with us?
