I expect him to be released in the Summer, but you never know. Glad for the lad that Wimbledon must have worked out for him and he has taken a step up. Did not realise that Shrewsbury were in the league let alone League 1.
It'll be a good education for him in a newly promoted side which like ourselves is struggling in a higher division. This loan could make or break him. Graham Turner the Shrews manager is older than God and knows the lower divisions like the back of the devil's hand. He'll sort out Mambo and could well make a player out of him
Good player and I do rate him but I can't see him playing for us in The Championship anytime soon. I hope we keep hold of him as I'm against writing players off to early.
Or he is moving up the leagues. Not saying he will ever make it here but at least this loan gives us the chance to see how he does in a league only 1 below us.
He's already played for Charlton Athletic, including a win against a team that won the Championship last season, but you lot go ahead and keep slagging off a young player that most of you have probably seen play less than half a dozen times, if at all.

Its not an excuse, but i think people just presume because it seems he's been here a long time and not featured, that he's never gonna make it.
obviously thats rubbish. Centre backs need time, its not like having an 18 year old winger, who you can chuck on with a bit of pace and skill. You can possess that whether you're 18 or 30. Central defenders need to know the old tricks, reading the game etc that will only come with experience.
This loan will hopefully give him that experience (against teams like Swindon & Sheff Utd) and CP and staff can then decide if he will ever make that step onto our bench and first team.
They must think theres something there. Plus he's only 21!

Powell seems to think he has something so who knows.
He's a beast in the air and very string tackler. Technically not great but they are obviously hoping that will come later. See Michael Turner.
If he has pace he has a chance of making it at championship level or better.
Charlton Athletic
Welling United
Dover Athletic
Staines Town
Eastbourne Borough
Staines Town
Ebbsfleet United
AFC Wimbledon
Shrewsbury Town
Looks like he is desting for a non league career.
