Just seen Pape Souare, Ben Watson, Stephen Henderson and Ryan Inniss are at Charlton, bit of a who's who of the Palace reserve side in recent years with Watson as the exception. One of the benefits of the U23 Premier League is that it really is a good standard for the talented 17 year olds. I think it changes for the 19/20 year olds who you'd want to start getting some proper physicality and stepping up the level of opposition like O'Brien is now getting at Swindon to see if they really can make it. It's rare you see a teenager playing Premier League football anymore. Can't imagine if he went to Charlton he'd start every week, so is 20 minutes here and there at Charlton better than training with our first team, playing his first full season of U23 football and getting the odd bit of travel time? Can see why they'd want to keep him at the club this season. Living in a caravan isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Watson - a member of the much smaller club of Palace players to have scored the winning goal in an FA Cup final. Not for Palace though, sadly.
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |
