Losing Daniel Kanu is a massive blow, but sweeping the awards shows just how overly reliant we were on a single loan player. Building a squad around loan talent from parent clubs is a massive gamble that leaves us completely broke at the end of the year.
If the board doesn’t sign at least two permanent, battle-hardened League Two strikers this month, we aren’t even making the playoffs next season.
Daniel Kanu didn’t just play for the badge; he absolutely carried us at times. 18 goals in all competitions, a clean sweep at the End of Season Awards, and fully deserving of the EFL League Two Young Player of the Season. For a loan player to show that much heart and dedication is incredibly rare.He gave us everything, and the standing ovation he got from the Bescot faithful was class. It’s devastating that we couldn’t keep him permanently, but he goes back to Charlton with nothing but respect from every single Saddler.What was your favorite Kanu moment this season?
