John Obika in on loan

I have just had another look at Tuesday’s goals. Sweeeet. Love the way Haynes celebrated his goal, he didn’t know what the hell to do.

Now to recreate some of those celebrations at home starting tomorrow. In the early weeks of the season I was at the City Ground to see us well beaten by a very impressive Forest side under the obvious coaching of Sean O’Driscoll. They played the ball around quickly and cut through our defensive ranks like butter for 80 minutes. All of us that day were convinced that by now Forest would be knocking on the automatic promotion door but apparently needlessly it has been a bumpy road and three managers later they are among a possee of clubs ever hopeful of the play-off’s. 

Maybe being owned by rich Arabs is not all it’s cracked up to be.

This morning according to the SLP the Addicks signed Spurs striker John Obika on loan. We are his 9th loan spell away from White Hart Lane where he has never started a league game. Unfortunately he is better known for being shown the door at Palace in 2010 for not making the grade early into a season-long loan deal, but Addicks willl prefer to remember him for the two goals he scored against us for Yeovil.

BWP’s loan move to Brentford has freed up some wageroll to allow Powell to bring in Obika. They are opposites is terms of size but only time will tell if Obika is an improvement on the squad. In Obika’s last game for Spurs he scored a hat-trick against Man Utd in an U21 game.
