Crewe Alexandra 0 Charlton Athletic 2
A solid win at newly promoted Crewe. We weren’t spectacular, but we were mostly comfortable throughout. Good in parts, rusty in others, especially in the passing department, but we have to be pleased with that start.
Bow started with 17-year Charlie Barker at right back, with Lapslie in midfield and Pratley next to Oshilaja in defense. Gilbey and Washington both started. We were 4-3-3 in a patched up team but still had the quality of Williams, Aneke and Morgan to bring on from the bench.
