He was good. If we're going to play this way then he's the man for the job, presses and works his socks off. He was alongside Godden when we beat Birmingham and he came on to make a difference tonight. He's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but at least he'll fit better than some of the other things we've tried
He's got genuine pace too, something we don't get with MG, ML, GA, DH or CA. TC has it too of course, although last night he had a run with their left back and was equalled for speed...... haven't seen that too often.
Seems he rolled his ankle when playing for the U21s, still waiting for it be assessed, but Jones says its similar to what he did against Birmingham
A frustrating season for Daniel Kanu and I hope his luck changes soon as I still believe he can have a good professional career.
Feels like the best thing for him would be us getting promoted, as then he’d definitely be loaned out
The modern EFL transfer window rules really count against young fringe players like Kanu. Too good for the National League, too useful to send out for half a season with no ability to recall.
Nathan Jones did state his latest injury was similar to the injury he received against Birmingham, not sure but the time frame for his recovery seems similar as well, good news, just when we needed it with Chuks being banned for having two threatening elbows at his side.
Excellent news. Shame he wasn't an option when TC was out as whilst not a straight swap he could do that role well. Good to have the option for the final run in and playoffs.
I don't think making it a straight either/or comparison of Kanu vs Mbick serves either of them well. Depending on the situation and the circumstances I can see both being useful in different ways.
I'm not sure there's much between them, Kanu did very well in his first season and despite a lack of options Mbick hasn't exactly broken through he's just warmed Kanu's spot on the bench.
Would have both on the bench if possible. Think DK is easily ahead of Ahadme in the pecking order and as others have said is the closest we have to TC bar Dixon.

Must be depressing for Ahadme, when Chuks, Hylton, Kanu, the kitman and Brian Cole are all ahead of him now.
I would prefer Kanu but it's a game of opinions and I would prefer both to come on before the forward coach Hylton.
