    15 mins to salvage it against 9 men (assuming their guy is still off receiving treatment)
    He's on the pitch but basically a passenger, just hobbling around the centre of the pitch

    Birmingham timewasting (legitimately some may say) but this has been a corker.

    Another Brum player has been down for about 2 mins now receiving treatment

    Muamba can't blame him for striking there, but was tame - Maybe a hammy issue too.

    Pretty much everyone's dead on their feet now.

    Great play by Rylah but the chance is wasted as a tame shot comes in from Mouamba.instead of passing across goal

    Real shame we're not going to have enough. That Boteka is definitely a real talent.

    Credit to Birmingham, they have really dug in and blocked so many shots.

    We've just not had enough to win it.

    It's a shame we didn't take our chances in the first half. but Birmingham scored some cracking goals

    Real shame, both teams really gave it everything - Birmingham just had the difference in talent off the bench.

    Pity. Still a great season from “da yoof”. 

    Have we managed to win one of these youth finals? Feels like we’re always the bridesmaid.

    Disappointed for our lads. Hard fought game with no prisoners taken.

    Maybe a home Final next year will do the trick.

    Thoroughly entertaining game, even if we didn't sneak it.

    Wonder if we could get Beteke Boteke Botake or whatever he's called on loan next season... Lad was super skilfull, fast and strong for his size. He certainly looked a cut above his team mates who were already decent.

    What a shame. We were just too profligate in front of goal and I lost count of the times we got to the byline, only to put the cross straight to a defender or into the hands of their very good goalkeeper. Coupled with a bit of vulnerability at the back and a very dogged and combative Birmingham side, we just didn't quite have enough on the day.

    Still, another excellent season and we have some good prospects.

    He'll be in their team at this rate, remember they'll be in our division!

    Thought we looked the better side but their keeper was outstanding and their finishing clinical.

    I've just arrived back from the game, very entertaining & the better side lost, the Birmingham keeper was outstanding & he was probably man of the match.
    The ground was a very good substitute venue for the occasion, & very well attended.
    There were a few of our fans there & also Charlie Methven.

    I've returned as Charlton's FM researcher after leaving 7 years ago (only a voluntary role sadly!). It would be good to hear any views on our u18s and u21s if anyone doesn't mind helping out.

    It would be really helpful to know strengths and weaknesses, preferred foot and or even just a more broadly the type of player are. Other facts like relatives in football can be added too.

    Of course it would be great to know who any stand out prospects are, especially the new first years ago as the club don't tend to say much about them at this stage.
