Jamal Jimoh-Aloba (on loan at WBA)

[amfy]

Dobbin has been good at PNE. They protect him and their Spurs loanee (Alfie Devine) by neither of them playing a full 90 mins. Both look quick and skilful but in need of Championship loan time to improve physicality and decision making.
Both Archer and Kesler Haydn did well there and were very popular with fans. I definitely felt Archer could have stepped up but Kesler Hayden was a really good Championship player, not moving up to our level.
The upside of him going to Albion is that he doesn't have to uproot his personal life as much. At PNE right now he would have joined a team that are largely functioning well, but lacking a killer punch, which he could be, and that would build confidence better than the current state of our neighbours.

Disappointed that he's gone to a shite team with a losing mentality.

He may as well have stayed and sat on our bench as I doubt he'll ever see the ball what with Albion in relegation mode. Stupid decision.

1. I note we are 'the host club', they cant even say our name. Fantastic.
2. He doesn't look very happy, it has the same tone as a hostage video.

Who made this little beauty of a decision,

It's strange for a whole host of reasons.  If we had a promising kid 'poached' by a bigger club, and then that club loaned him back to us to get first-team experience, I can't imagine we - as a fan base - would be that happy about it?

I hope he gets a good reception, but I can't imagine the fans are going to immediately warm to him, as they would potentially to other young prospects coming in on loan?

There's hardly any of them there these days so it's no big deal.

100% agree. Terrible decision i think.

I hope hey give him more time than Illing-Junior.  If they do, it will do him good to get some games under his belt in a competitive league, even though Albion are shit.

"Your parent club" haha...Jesus, their Head of Comms no doubt briefed the interviewer on not mentioning the V word.
