    Hope this doesn’t turn out like Kanu where it was blatantly obvious we loaned them to a league well below their ability 
    It’s fine though because unlike with Kanu we didn’t play Gough in our cup game so he’s free to move to league 1 in January if he keeps playing like this 
    We didn't play Gough in the cup because he'd already gone to Bristol Rovers and he played in the cup for them.

    Comments from Steve Evans at the weekend about him: 

    "he's a young man who will play a lot of Championship football going forward - that's for sure. I think he's not only got the abilities, he's got the discipline, he's got the technique, he's got the attitude. He's got everything going for him."

    "I'm sure when he goes back next summer, he'll go back to the Charlton first-team for sure. He's a Championship player."

    And he has time left on his deal so can move up to L1 next season if we don't want to destablise this year

    Not in their squad today, have we recalled? Can we even recall before January?

    I thought the rule was 28 days but I wonder if there’s a way around it if we pay Rovers? But then why wouldn’t we do it in time to get him on the bench?

    Whatever the rule is, I doubt we could pay Rovers to cut it short.

    Chelsea paid Sunderland to recall a player last season

    Wasn't aware but then what's the point of the rule?

    Be a shame for all parties if Keenan has been recalled... Be understandable, but has seemed an ideal move for him so far
    Edit: Rovers fans think he's injured.

    With Billy not being bad, and us in the market for a CB I can’t see that we would be recalling Gough.

    Unless Bindon hasn't in fact happened

    Depends how good Jones thinks our midfield backup is , let alone our defensive ones .

    Thats why I choose my words carefully and said CB. We know from Jones directly that we are in the market for one.

    So if it’s not Bindon I’m confident another will happen.

    Was the Ouma debut really that terrifying? He was up against, y'know, quite a lot of very good players

    But the ITKs said it's definitely done? Surely they can't be wrong?!?!

    Plus not fully match sharp, virtually zero pre season, new to the country, new to the league, new to playing with his teammates AND playing away at a Premier League club full of multi million pound talent...all on his debut. 

    But other than that, yeah we can write him off....

    Is that a bad thing for a first league loan, though? Means they're guaranteed starters and get plenty experience of playing senior football. That's probably more beneficial for their development than going to League One and potentially being in and out of the team.

    If you read my post, it suggests it’s Jones’ judgement , not mine.  I have no desire to judge Ouma on one display .

    "At the same time, Gough has a tight hamstring, which the coaching staff are keeping a close eye on ahead of Saturday's game at The Broadfield Stadium."
