Career over. Big injury at the beginning of the week

Nice

Is that Duah any good?

Decent prospect - tall central defender.
His goal was a brilliant diving header at the far post.

Kai Source released by Reading in the summer has signed for Luton FC academy.

Tom Norcott's had his loan at Woking extended until mid-November. He's played six times for them and started their last five league games, conceding just three in the league (plus two late goals in the National League Cup against West Ham's U21s).

That's good to hear. He seemed decent, but looked a bit small when he got his chance. Hopefully this does him the world of good.

I know a guy who's a Woking regular and he raved about him. Long may it continue!

That's great to hear. Hopefully he'll stay there and playing well at until at least January, where the club will assess whether he should be playing at League Two level.

Reminder, the U21 game against Newcastle is tomorrow at the stadium.

Newcastle haven't won in Premier League 2 this season: losing 2-1 at home to Southampton; Chelsea and Norwich and getting an away draw at Birmingham.

They beat us 7-1 back in April.
