Jury's out on overall performance by the looks of it. Sky reporter said similar last night.

CMRoyal Saw the goal on TV, and it was a real cracker - and to take 2 points off Swindon, too - perfect! However, Henry has been OK without setting the world alight in our games, so I'm slightly surprised that you think that SC doesn't appreciate his ability. It could just be that the extra space afforded by a team near the bottom of League One would flatter Kebe equally as much, or maybe even more? Just playing devil's advocate.


James Henry looks good enough for the Championship. He's played well in nearly every game I've seen of him and he scored more goals than Jimmy. OK he may not quite have the tricks or all of the pace of Kebe but he seems to be more direct and certainly more consistent. If I was SC I would be starting with Henry then unleashing Kebe for the last 25 minutes of games.

Yeah, fair dues I think it's probably the closest positional battle the team has, and if James improves during his time at Millwall that scenario might well play out. I just don't think he did quite enough in his few starts to really force his way in, and it's too late now for SC to gamble on letting him play his way into making the position his own. One thing I am sure of is that he's a better long-term Premier League prospect than Jimmy.

winchester_royal Perhaps. My original point was that they must have some reason for recalling him from his loan. (And filling the reserve RW spot is not it.)


Why not? All it would mean was either a) the club thing that playing championship reserve team football is better for him than playing non-league or b) they think they can keep a better eye on his progress in the reserves than out on loan. Neither seem implausible at all.

Bizarrely the official site confirm that the reason for the recall was precisely as stated - there is now a spot available in the reserves so they have called him back to play there !!!

I have my doubts whether Kebe could have achieved such a strike.

A bit harsh - I distinctly recall him hitting it that hard when trying to pass the ball 5 yards to Doyler against Preston.
