20-year old striker Daniel Kanu has joined Walsall on a season-long loan. I peg this as a really important move for Dan. Hopefully he gets plenty of game time leading to him being a real threat in League Two for The Saddlers.
Nathan Asiimwe clearly benefited from his time under Mat Sadler and Nathan Jones and his coaching team must trust their peers at Walsall.

This despite obvious video evidence that the coming together between him and the Wycombe player was neither violent conduct nor an elbow in the face.

Desperately dull and ineffective long diagonal hoof ball, circa 1980, hoping, praying for a flick or a defensive mistake to ‘create’ a chance on goal. That is our sole game plan. Our philosophy, our identity. Heaven help us.
Please call for moreSaturday’s game at home to Rotherham is on, the club deciding to play it without the services of Daniel Kanu, Karoy Anderson and new signing Kaheim Dixon.
I don’t believe Rotherham have any international call-ups.

In 2nd place was George Dobson and 3rd was Terell Thomas, somewhat surprisingly but I bet that the top two made up about 98% of the vote and the rest was shared amongst a number of players.

Last season the winner was loanee Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, but I don’t see any loan player, and we’ve had eight, getting even a single vote.

If our young academy players are any good, then other teams will want to buy them. Just like, imagine, we ever had a manager that higher placed teams wanted to poach. Because he was good!

The news that the club cancelled Daniel Kanu’s loan at Southend this morning was only the prelude to the news that Miles Leaburn had surgery on his hamstring this morning and will be out for five months.

A very dull first half, a much better 2nd half and a draw probably a fair result. We missed a couple of gilt-edged chances but they hit the bar twice and Maynard-Brewer made a very good double save in the first half.

Just 24-years-old, Dobson wasn’t only the best of a bad bunch in this turgid of season’s, he was actually very good, and capped an excellent season by scoring a corker at Rotherham a few weeks back.

With no Aneke, Washington, Stockley, or Scott Fraser we were always going top be up against it. The assumption was that Famewo missed out due to loan numbers. Jacko kept to his 3-5-2 but there were more centre-backs on the bench than in the team. I’m all for having a philosophy, but you also need the players.
We can question recruitment again on this front, or any sense of long-term planning which doesn’t seem to be Sandgaard’s forte….

The Dartford based 17-year-old has already scored 31 goals this season representing the Addicks at U23, U19 and U17 level and has been on fire in recent weeks helping the U18’s to the 5th Round of the FA Youth Cup
