    In terms of profligacy coming through Daniel Kanu and Patrick Casey are similar, yet in terms of playing style they’re quite different.
    Daniel is closing in on the plateau at the top of the cliff face, Patrick is still donning his harness, helmet and carabiners.

    Leave Kanu where he is. Ive got £20 on him being League 2 top scorer at 50/1 ffs

    DK is 12/1 with bet365 to be top goal scorer in L2. EW at 1/4 = 3/1 for first 4 places. Looks good value atm

    Now is probably not the time to have a bet on him simply because of the uncertainty. I pointed out when he went there that he was EW value at 50/1 but there was, at that time, an element of value because it was unlikely that he would be recalled as we wouldn't be able to send out on loan elsewhere in January. I hadn't envisaged that both Kelman and Godden would be out injured simultaneously with the latter not playing a minute pre the January window,   

    The other thing is that you are only getting 3/1 for the first 4 places if he is the top scorer. For a £10 EW stake:

    Top scorer - £130 win plus £40 place = £170 or 17/2 for an overall total stake of £20
    2nd, 3rd or 4th = £40 place or even money for an overall total stake of £20 

    What is really galling for me is that I have him, as well as individually, in an EW double with Keillor-Dunn who is joint top scorer in League 1, albeit there is a chance that someone might come in for him in January.

    Glad I put £5 EW on that at 50/1 not long after he went there.

    Leaburn was better than Kanu in league 1. Maybe this spell has improved Kanu a lot but I doubt he’s now championship level. I guess confidence is good so it might make sense but I think we should be looking at signing a striker on loan rather than calling one back. Which then doesn’t block the pathway for Mbick and Kanu to come into the squad in the summer if they impress in pre-season 

    The player I’d be considering calling back is Asiimwe. We are desperately short at wing back and he can play both sides 
    The 2022-23 version of Leaburn was better , for sure .  Not sure that version still exists . 
    He won league 1 player of the month a year ago. In league 1 whenever he was fit for an extended period and got a run of games, he was a good player. The championship is just a lot tougher 
    Largely on the back of the one game against Wycombe - he wasn’t good last season .  I was encouraged by a couple of early cameos this year - looked like his balance and pace were back but he’s not done a lot, albeit without great service
