Aneke is injured. Again. Bogle is far from match fit and has much to prove. Washington is far from a 20 goal a year striker.
So unless we have a striker lined up to come in - and as the number 9 shirt is still unfilled I live in hope - this looks to me a very strange time to loan him out.
It is and it isn't.
If we didn't have a recall clause I'd be with you but as we have one then in my view Conference National league football is much better for him than our under 23 stuff if he is not in the matchday squad.
I suspect league 2 clubs wouldn't allow us a recall right so if that's correct National league probably suits all parties for the moment.
That’s good to hear. Hope he stays on loan somewhere for the season. Really learn his trade, rather than bring him back to sit on the bench or in the squad.
Say he's scored 10 by Christmas and none of our current forward are scoring, would we bring him back then?
Nope.
If we had an injury and couldn't bring in another player in January, then I would be tempted. Otherwise I would keep him there where he is hopefully developing well.
One of their fans does a decent match write up after each game and gives his MoTM verdict. Josh has been MoTM in 2 of last 3 games in his opinion. Clearly playing very well there.
Davison and Lapslie are doing as best as we and they could hope for. If and when they come back they will be better for the experience as confidence breeds confidence and it's very difficult to gain that when you're a fringe player.
Harsh on Woking but would be tempted to loan him to a league two club, or even league one struggler, in January and send Wassim or Ghandour to Working instead.

Cant remember if Non-League (or even EFL Trophy) games count in that rule
I'm revising my 'Bogle will get a hatful' to a thimble full.
So 2 maybe 3 and at least one of those will be off his backside.
Enfield play in the Isthmian league. I'm not even sure what tier that is.
