Valley Gold have been uploading academy 'Goal of the Month' videos to their youtube channel this season. Give them some views/likes/subs (or not, it's up to you...).
Just seen on Kanus Instagram that we won 6-0 against Watford today. Another goal and assist for Kanu too. Really hope we get to see him in a first team shirt at some point
Not sure if he has played for them yet, but surely Kanu will be moved to the U23s soon?
He can just move back to the U18s for the youth cup games.
No need to rush him - he's just turned 17
Let him finish the season with the 18's and go from there rather than heap pressure on him
Not heaping pressure on him, it's the U23s not a league game away at Millwall.
My thinking was more that given he seems to score in practically every game for the U18s, is it not a case of he's outgrown that level and needs to step up?

Scoring for the U23s against Millwall.... Is a different kettle of fish
The amount he scores I really think if he signs / has signed a contract then he should be given a go in the first team. I know people talk about over exposure of kids but there is a difference between the odd game/few minutes to see how he does, and lobbing him on as a starter for continual games not matter what form he is in because you have no one else (like KAG was)

What is that camera angle for the 5th goal though?!
Pretty sure that takes him to 20 for the season already.
He was the last player I remember seeing on the scoresheet as often as Daniel

Or to be fair are so game after game after game……….

34 goals in 10 league games, so far, this season
Dk with the goal
Kanuuuu
not even half time yet
who else but DK
diminutive left back Toby Bower with the finish
he really has a sweet left foot on him
Hope the rumour on here yesterday that Kanu has signed is true.
Kanu again. Pace, movement and a quality finish in off the post from a perfect trough ball
