I just saw Joe down the gym. He says he's enjoying playing for Southend and doesn't know about next season yet. He promised to play extra good against M******l on Tuesday.
Think that's him done here, isn't his contract up at the end of the season?
Feel sorry for him, from what I gather he's a nice lad. Unfortunately, as I mentioned after the Bromley match, it's sad that he hasn't seemed to progress really.
I know it was only the Kent Senior Cup and he was in the U21 squad, but I really wasn't impressed. I had high hopes for him after hearing what the coaching staff had to say about him, and during the Welling pre-season match a couple of years ago he looked very sharp. Hopefully he can kick on elsewhere and perhaps do a Lawrie Wilson starting from the lower leagues. A fresh start may be best for him.
Nice kid, but just not quite good enough. Hope he does well and has a good career. No shame in making a living as a League One or League Two player. Good Luck to him.
Just sad really... He scored the goal that pretty much sent Southend into League One... You'd have hoped that he'd have kicked on from that with them in League One yet he's gone backwards and is now playing for a side struggling in League Two

Good luck Joe, don't think you 'had the tub of the green' here at Charlton and I'm sorry to see you go, but I'm confident teaming up with Nathan Jones again, you will get your opportunity and game time and come blazing back, Smash it Joe

I wish him all the best. Saw him a couple of time at Southend and I think he definitely looked good enough for League One - and will probably bang goals in left, right and centre at Luton. Honestly, I hope he stays with us, because if we do go down to League One, he will be the sort of experienced striker at that level we will desperately need.
Knowing our board and CEO though....you'll probably find his contract runs out at the end of this season just as we get relegated and need him, and he'll walk away to a new club for nothing!

Think Nathan Jones will get the best out of him. Assume he would have had offers from League One clubs so maybe he chose to drop another level to play for Nathan Jones again. The occasional time I saw him I thought he was technically very good and with an excellent shot. His trouble was his size meant people kicked the ball at him like a target man but he was as good in the air as Makinok and had similar pace to, errr, Makinok!
