I wasn't at Barnet but the general opinion seems to be that he played well, couple that with PP has been quite complementary about Basey and the fact that the only recognised LB we have is on loan from wetspam does anyone think that Basey might return in January.

End of.
Bringing him back after one good game is pretty over the top.
Especially seeing as he was up against an abysmal Pav. Abbott in the 2nd half who would make any centre back look half decent!
Parky thought enough of him to want to offer him a new contract in the summer. This from Grant's pre-match interview yesterday:
''"There was talk of a new contract at Charlton with revised terms. I agreed, but weeks went by and nothing happened and I then had a chance to go to Aberdeen to play in the Scottish Premier League.''
His Barnet contract is up in January and if Parky wants to strengthen the depth of the squad for the run-in, who knows...
But he's good enough to go somewhere with a guarantee of first team football. Parky probably can't offer that, even if we lose Fry.
Basey is local and knows the club, left on good terms and will do a job.
Of our left-backs Youga is out for the season, Fry might get recalled (possible) and Jackson is better in left midfield, and if Reid's injury problems return he'll play there as first choice to replace Reid. I'd rather Basey returned if we needed a LB, we've hardly got the money to buy in a player and most likely we'd find ourselves taking in another loanee who isurplus to requirements at their club and most likely lacking match and physical fitness, so it's unlikely that we'd get a better player than Basey and both he and the club will know that he'd be playing for a new contract and most likely his career.
Agree, maybe if he gets a bit of the weight off and with a bit more experience he could be a mid-lower end of league one player - but in all honesty we can probably do better than Grant, even if it's for back up.
Where we'd play him in the team to best advantage, I'm not so sure.
I liked Grant but his pace let him down at Left back , I note Barnet used him as a left sided Centre Half which his probably his best position. As for left footed corners and free kicks I think Jacko is a better option .
At least 3 of S.Sodje's goals were from corners, plus Dailly's goal on the opening day against Wycombe, and the play off home game against Swindon. Our corners were excellent last year.
However his placement of balls in set peices was second to none.
But the statement I was answering claimed that we didn't score from any corners last season.
Surprised at that, thought he had being doing ok there, certainly looked good against us. However he did score a comedy own goal on Monday.
Really surprised he didn't learn his lesson after spending a few months in limbo and without a club. You'd think he'd kick on and sort himself out unless he has something lined up
