BRTD, I think his injury was not the result of a bad tackle but self induced booting the ball into touch but doing it so hard that he injured his ankle.
Was probably our best player in a poor defence that got us relegated, and Scunthorpes best player in a struggling Chamionship side (mainly CB I believe) - all this in his early 20s where experience is important. I think that given a return to fitness he could easily do well at Championship level, and think Yeovill will benefit from him playing.
Youga tried to kick the ball and the opponent had his foot up & Youga booted his foot. I remember it very well because I thought he was feigning injury at the time.
Can not believe this was absolutely toilet for us in the champ. Many Scunthorpe fans who were sooo much better organised than us, with limited resources, say he was very good in the champ for them. But in the champ McCarthy, Boughera and Hudson were much better players at that time. Yes his third of a season in league one he did look very exciting again, and it was a shame to see him injured by what I remember as a high and late challenge. But he was not tested defensively in league one for us, and Bailey did excellent work protecting the left back that season.
Think he hit the post in that Bristol Rovers match, and seemed to hit the post at will that season! Looked like he was going to be really important for us with his quick pacey attacks. Wasn't to be, but I hope he really kicks on with Yeovil and gets a career back.
He had a superb 2nd half away to Yeovil in the rain game...playing at right back I think. Could do a job for them at centre-back too. Think he'll do well providing he can get back some sharpness.
Looked exciting when he came back from Scunny then got dragged down to the generally terrible level of the rest of the team. Lost his way a bit but was never as terrible as some made out but he was still fairly inexperienced. We all thought Hudson was toilet but he is now captain of a strong Cardiff team.
Assuming injury hasn't taken anything away from him he has all the physical attributes to be a good defender. Signs were the rest of his game was improving before he got injured. Think he'll be a good signing for them.

For any Ipswich fans reading:
He's NOT the worst player to ever wear a Charlton shirt.
If he stays fit he could be a real asset to your side.
