May as wel ring Palace now and say he won’t be playing and hope a L1 club takes a punt.
What a shitshow this summer has been. With a normal budget no issues but when you need every signing to be a hit…

I assume as Hall is being referred to by name and not trialist we've actually signed him.

The likes of Sheaf & Maatsen had a season in the league below, as did CoH when in L1.
It shows where we were shopping when taking a punt on a player with zero games.
No one wins here.

Absolutely WHY?
Are we developing other teams kids in our development squad now. He came in as a replacement for Maatsen I assume and obviously nowhere near the first team

The Adaramola signing looks a genius bit of business so far…

Can't understand why they'd sign a kid with no league experience at any level whatsoever.

Cheap
Billson - he is a unit. Distribution with his throwing was much better than with his feet. Two good saves. One he did well to tip it from bottom corner. There was a moment where he fumbled a ball but rectified himself.
Lusala - good quick feet, quite skilful. Caught out a bit defensively first half but looked okay
Burroughs - played RCB. Did okay. Went off halftime due to injury
McGrath - strong player with good left foot. Composed and good passer. One moment where he misjudged the ball and striker headed wide.
Reid - LCB first half, then CB in back 4 2nd half. Ended up at LB for the last few minutes. Thought he played very well. Defensively sound and progressive with the ball. He came close to a key pass on a couple of occasions.
Adaramola - linked with Bapaga well in the first half. Very pacey but end product wasn't good. Subbed near the end of going down injured.
Finnegan - CM. Neat and tidy on the ball. Took the free-kick set pieces. Was always looking for the ball. One odd pass that almost gifted them a goal but did okay otherwise
Howley - was very quiet first half. Seemed to lack energy in the middle. A couple of attempted long passes overhit. Some moments after the break where he committed himself better.
Bapaga - thought he was a problem for them throughout. Some great skills and dribbling. Didn't always come off but you could see how he was so highly rated a couple of years ago. Unlucky not to score in final minutes after another mazy run
Cashman - gifted his chance but finished well with left foot. Later hit the post from distance after poor keeper clearance. Technically you can see he is good, with some decent passes. What bothered me was his attitude. He was very lucky not to receive two yellows, the first a petulant kick out after losing the ball. The second one similar but more of a trip. There were occasions where his body language was negative when things didn't go for him - seemingly mentally switching off
Costello - worked his socks off and held the ball up well during the initial exchanges. Had one chance which he dragged wide with his left foot. Was subbed mid second half
Nee - came on initially right wing and then latterly central striker. Had a couple of half chances. Did well to get to the byline a couple times.
Dinanga - comfortable on the ball. Had one effort curl wide
Alabi - big lad. Although a defender he came on up top to use his height
Lusala - good quick feet, quite skilful. Caught out a bit defensively first half but looked okay
Burroughs - played RCB. Did okay. Went off halftime due to injury

Wasn’t he first rumoured and at first it was a denial, then “he’s down the list” then he signed. Seems a lot like our first choices we’re out of our range or turned us down.
Interesting. Not how I saw it.
Although Adaramola clearly is not the complete player, he certainly has attributes that can cause opposition problems. He just needs experience to help his positional sense and decision making - like most players his age. I cannot see him as a starter anytime soon but do think he could be effective from the bench.
Considering Charlton have a Papa John's game so were very young, we were fairly poor. Only one I missed out is Reid who was good actually. Tayo has absolutely no end product and defensively is shockingly out of position. Bapaga frustrates the hell out of me as he's got so much talent but never seems to make the right decision. Cashman looks like he has a real attitude problem. Finnegan kept getting caught on the ball and Mcgrath was shakey which is surprising as he's looked good whenever I've seen him before

Yep, most of Charlton's better youngsters didn't play as they're in the squad for the Pizza Cup tomorrow. I think we'll be disappointed with this performance tbh.
Tayo's end product was poor. However, he put a perfect ball through for Costello's chance. I would have hoped that Howley would assert himself at this level but I didn't see that, particularly first half.
Although Charlton were a young team, they had some decent players. Kamara and Mitchell I thought stood out for them.
Mitchell was very good. Unbelievable block at the end

Tayo is looking like a real waste of a signing. He's gone from playing in Palace's u23s to ours. I'd say he is probably 4th choice LWB behind Bidwell, Burroughs and Doyle. We should send him back to he can go to league one or two where he will play week in week out. Its a shame for the lad.

You get away with these type of loans when ur in league one the lads have the talent and just need a bit of guidance and experience but we are in the fucking championship now we can be taking on lads with no first team experience it's suicidal

I’m guessing the terms of the loan mean that we can’t send him back until January.

I thought the final sub was Will Hall?
No it was Alabi. I see ccfc.co.uk says it was Hall but it wasn't.
