    Wonder how much of the game he got to see from the subs bench

    I imagine Daniel thought it would be great to fly to Africa and get a bit of sunshine on his back  :D

    Looking up the stadium, the  Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi is in Morocco, right by the Mediterranean?

    Just saw that Ethiopia don't have a stadium that meet FIFA standards so have to play games in Morocco!

    Sure that's not the Full Members cup game we had Selhurst? Were Birmingham the opposition?

    Surely there's a stadium closer by than bloody Morocco! It's a 10 hour flight

    It's possible !
    I wouldn't say the crowd was small for Cafc v Birmingham at Selhurst but it's the only Charlton game I've been too when they announced the crowd changes to the players!
  • I see he came on for Sierra Leone in around the 60th min in a 2-0 loss

    We have a new international!

    Southend United do at this time

    When Tony Watt won his only Scotland cap back in 2016 he was a Charlton player but on loan at Blackburn Rovers when he earned that cap

    The club handbooks make no mention of Watt gaining a cap

    Young Daniel will more than likely gain a cap for Sierra Leone when he is back at the club from his loan spell

    In the same vein iirc we claimed Jorge Costa's Portuguese caps when he was on loan.

    Good for him and always nice to have another international on our books. More football can only help his development (injuries allowing).

    Isn't that Sam Bartram still out there?!

    It’s another reason for young lads to be part of the youth set up at Charlton, first team football will come and it’ll come early if they are good enough and in getting there they will come to the attention of their ‘home’ country.

    No doubt he will have loved the experience... imagine how bizarre it must feel to play international competitive football against a team with Mo Salah (arguably African football's most recognisable name) in it.

    Am I wrong in thinking we had recalled him? 
  • Watched the second half of the match. Kanu made a difference when he came on, partly because Sierra Leone changed formation chasing the game. He took up some good positions and was scuppered with a couple of half chances because of what looked like an artificial pitch. A good cameo I thought.

    Yes. He’s still at Southend

    Appleton confirms we haven’t recalled him because he needs game time. Still wants him to develop things like his hold up play.

    All I want for Christmas is Kan-u. 

    Bring him back please.

    A real shame for Kanu we are likely to recall him I think.
    He could really do with more first team football starts. 
    Whilst he scored 4 in one game for Southend he now has 6 appearances for them but 'just' the 4 goals. Not sure how many minutes he has played in that 6 games.

    If we bring him back we will lose him in January. To be honest, I don’t really know who we are going to lose all these to players to. Losing him and Leaburn would be careless. Losing just Leaburn who be a misfortune. 
  • no rush in deciding, we do not have a league game until the 9th

    assess leaburn then decide

    Recalled. Suggests injury to Leaburn isn't great 
  • Recalled. Suggests injury to Leaburn isn't great 
    Yep, Leaburn must be out for a while and they don't want to just have May and Tedic.
  • Shame they have felt the need to bring him back early due to Leaburn injury. 

    Long term thinking, the best for Kanu is to stay at Southend and play 80+ minutes per game while gaining experience in men’s football. I wonder if he’ll go back again if we make a quality forward signing in January.

    It's a hamstring so we are looking at January great or not. It makes sense to have that extra option.

    What are the odds we win 5-0, get drawn against Arsenal, then get thrown out because we recalled him 10 minutes late...
