Perhaps there should be a thread for those who know absolutely nothing.

HENRY Sandat would love to extend his loan spell at Southend United.

I know he is a local lad and a really nice fellow but Sandat is not going to get you goals on a regular basis, I think we could do a lot better, when we had Kanu is was a proper two up front, Sandat tries but he is a long way away from being like Kanu was, a new era there are players out there let’s get a striker that strikes,

Sandat has scored in the same amount of games as Kanu did …

Kanu scored in 1 of the 6 games he played for us. I’m sure he would have scored more if he stayed for longer but it’s not really the best example of someone scoring on a regular basis.

There’s more to being a striker than scoring goals. Sandat is good on the ball and is good at winning fouls. He won a couple of penalties last season and should have won a couple since being back already. That’s almost as good as a goal.

He will link up well with Cardwell, or is a decent option off the bench if we sign another striker.

Kanu also missed a couple of sitters in games.

I hope we can get Sandat on loan for the rest of the season

Did not Kanu get four agai

Kanu also missed a couple of sitters in games.

i thought he got four against Solihull Moors

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

We couldn't get a striker before and we've now got one that should have got a stonewall pen with his movement, scored a wrongly chalked off goal at home to Barnet and scored this weekend. Yet, people don't want to extend his loan. I don't get it. If he signs instead of someone else who is better, I get people's angst. However, we don't know if that is true. He may sign as well as someone else, which would be great.

Also, if we sign Waldron and Cards comes back, with Sandat as a third option, we'd have bitten an array of hands off for that previously! Powell may also be available to provide competition from March onwards too. That's not bad for a club that nearly died.

I think we need to lower our expectations a little for the time being. There is an awful lot to change and get right, it takes time. Splashing cash aimlessly is a thing of the past.

He did. How many other games did he score in?

 

[BlueDavegit]

Yes he did, but he still missed sitters

 

[AlfaShrimper]

On a different note. I'm assuming we should announce crowther tomorrow going by the time line kings lynn stated?

 

[RHB]

Although it's not exactly on topic, Henry would almost certainly have been offered an extension to his contract with us had the embargo not completely prevented that.

I would of liked to of thought so with a bit of luck

Won a penalty (of sorts) against Kiddie, had a goal wrongly disallowed against Barnet and scored against Halifax.

Not a bad return from four games?

 

[Liam AAS]

Sandat has played well. He's a young lad with not a lot of first XI experience being asked lead the line in a bruising division. There's a real player in there, it's a shame he won't develop his potential with us

 

[Tommy2holes]

I'm not sure he will get the goals but he works hard and has been unlucky with a goal disallowed wrongly and a stone wall pen not given.

Think he would be a welcome addition for the rest of the season.

 

[secondalibi]

Sandat is decent player, but he's still learning. Also, he looks far better when he has someone along side him. He looks lost playing up top when he's on his own.
