Must be a lot of fun and a big source of pride for our players who get called up for some of the smaller (in footballing terms) Caribbean/African/Asian nations. None of our guys are going to win Premier League or Champions League trophies, no one’s getting 100 caps for a nation that challenges in major tournaments, so these experiences must be fantastic compared to the lot of the average third division footballer.
Hope they all enjoy it (and come back injury free!).
I don't think the Malaysian national team is very strong, so perhaps disappointing that he's only in the U23s, rather than the senior team like Kanu and Anderson.

He was good for Dartford last season.
They're just below the Faroe Islands in the FIFA Rankings.
And given a rapturous applause when subbed. They loves him.
they seemed delighted when he re-signed. At 21 and not challenging the first team I wonder if it’s time he moved on. More for his own good than anything else
A position that he was far more familiar with playing in age group teams than the right and even left back he was employed in when in our first team. If and when he returns to us and there is an opportunity for him in the first team, it would be good to see him given a chance there.

I didn’t follow him the youth teams, did he play full back for them at all? Seems mad to me that he’d be thrust into the first team not in his natural position

As far as I'm aware, for the majority of his youth team career he played at CM or RM

Thanks AA, even weirder he was played i defence for the 1st team
Whenever I saw him play for the youth he was a CM, so I was surprised to see him play full back for the first team, and not shocked to see that he struggled unfortunately.
Dartford, albeit a Conference South side, is a good loan move for him. He done well there last season, and game time/confidence will be what’s needed for him to get a decent loan a bit higher up. There’s a decent player in there. He’s shown it on occasions out of position.

We've desperately short in full back positions, especially LB, for a couple of seasons. I guess as a young player you'll leap at the chance of first team football, even if it's in the wrong position.

Joe Gomez made his debut at LB for Liverpool and fortunately had an easy game but just played safe. In his second game he got exposed as a Premier wide player went on his outside and he ended up giving away a penalty as he made a clumsy challenge. The only poor game I saw from Gomez at cafc was at LB when he had to help out as Wiggins ? was injured. RB or CB felt like Joe's natural position.
Richard Chin, Gunter, Clare, and many more have tried and they always are inhibited if a wide players gets on the outside when on their wrong side.
That's why players who are two footed are worth their weight in Gold.
Scored a great goal from outside of the box on Saturday and was our MOTM by a mile. Dartford could do with him more than a month. He's head and shoulders above most at that level. If he hadn't got injured last season Dartford would have gone up.
I’m a Bath City season ticket holder with my six year old as we live down this way. He’ll slot into a pretty decent football playing side, and should get some game time. Bath aren’t full time, so anticipate he will still be majority training with Charlton and coming down to train once (or twice) a week.

Malaysia that is... Not Dartford

Gone to Bath on a season long loan.
Surprised he either didn't stay with Dartford or move up to National League but assume it's about who wants him and who can afford him.
