went to game this afternoon conditions wet windy and sf''very cold... no team sheets so cannot give you Barnet line up but our boys lined up as follows: GK Nick Pope Defence Semi Ajayi, Harry Osborne, Matt Taylor, Morgan Fox Midfield Bradley Jordan, Danny Green, Danny Hollands, Courtney Harris Strikers Callum Harriott, Joe Piggott Subs James Ashton, Dillon Phillips, Harry Gerard, Tom Derry 1st half goals coming from Joe Piggott getting on the end of a low swooping cross with a diving header into bottom RH hand corner, this was fairly quickly followed by Callum Harriott finding the target with a great strike from outside the box half time 2-0. Barnet did counter on several occasions but strong and capable defending from all of the back 4 ensured Nick Pope had little to do, I think he only had to make 1 actual save in the first half. 2nd half more of the same with Barnet finally getting a goal back arising from a midfield back pass to Ajayi which took a last minute unfortunate bobble allowing the Barnet Striker - no name!! to nip in 1 on 1 with the keeper - back of the net THis was really the only upset of the game. Substitutions came at around 70mins with James Ashton on for Harris, Gerard on for Green, Derry on for Piggot, Ashton scored within about 10 minutes with a lovely shot on goal from around 25 yards out. Game ended 3-1 to Charlton could easily have been more with the chances they created and Barnet fought well to keep the scoreline to this. Solid performance another good result with around 60 watching the game, a good few of them were probably agents and Edgar Davids was spotted on the sideline during the 1st half. Would definitely be good to get better attendances at least at the home games, you will see a high standard of football played - most of the time !! and its a free to watch for season ticket / Valley Gold members
Cheers, Mada. Our owners have invested quite heavily in our Youth Academy, and no doubt will be expecting some return in due course.
Good match report - how did Danny Green do? And was he back in the centre mid position like pre season?
