hmmm should we really be letting a defender go???

Well, we can always recall him as we did with Timlin. More concerned at where he's being sent tbh.

More importantly should we have agreements in place with the Pikey's?

Good decision imo. We have 3 left backs now 4 inc Kennedy. Glad they are getting him some football

Who on earth did he offend to get sent to Gillingham?

True, they are shit but need a kick up the ass after a 2-0 defeat to Dover!

Morrison came back a better player after his Southend loan, the same seems to have happened with Timlin and maybe the same will happen with Kennedy. At the moment he's behind Rose, Sheehan and I'd says Lecs as well for the left back spot so for the time being it shouldn't bother us in the slightest.

 I believe the Pikeys are testing their 32 or something winless away run at the Scummers soon.

 Maybe young Callum could be just the lad to inspire the Pikeys to success....or he could be i the unusal position of getting abuse from both sets of fans.

Common sense prevails! He's nearly 21 years old and this is the first time he'll have been out on loan. I wish more of our youth team graduates were given the chance?/took the plunge? to go and get league football. Good luck Callum!

He's shown he's a good enough player but he's got two established (well-paid) pros ahead of him. Just a shame it's got to be Gillingham. Who is their regular left back out of interest? Some Nutter isn't it?!

Mark Scott appears to have made strides even if it is only Southern League Premier with Supermarine. Go Nathan Thompson, Will Evans and Billy Bodin... Spread your wings!!

What pleases me is that we are now starting to ship our players out to league 2 sides as opposed to Supermarine etc (no disrepect meant there either). It just benefits them  more if they can get some games at a higher level.

Here,Here.

Alot of it depends on the quality of youngster at your disposal I suppose. Callum Kennedy will be very comfortable in League two meaning teams like the Gills are more than happy to take them on.

Our youth team graduates from around 5 years ago are, with the exception of Pook (cheltenham) Doe (dag n red) and Zebroski (torquay), at Swindon Supermarine! Which shows you their level, no disrespect to 'marine once again.

You forgot Lloyd Macklin as well but yes I take your point.

Maybe when he comes back he will start to sell pegs

It will do him good to get games, just a shame its with them...

See he got a game today for Gillingham but a 3-1 home defeat. Hopefully he gets further chances.

Hessenthaler will be sacked soon. They honestly thought it was the second coming.

Good opportunity fo Kennedy, yesterday would've been tough as one if his defensive colleagues was sent-off early on.

Can't see him being offered another contract here,so hopefully he does enough to get a move to further his career.

I rate him

The Pikeys are away to Oxford next saturday!

O*ford in terrible form aren't they? Never seem to win much anymore.

I expected them to do better than they have this season.

Notice that they're trying to paper the cracks by getting older players like Wotton and MacLean in. Always a risky move.

Lost 4 on the trot now!

I think he has done a decent job every time he has played for us. I cant remember him having a bad game or making a howler?

He's at that age though. I dont think we can keep him on as a youngster who might turn into a first team regular but he really needs games to see if he can consistently be good enough for us.

I wouldnt say he's a million miles behind our current first and second choice left backs to be honest.

Agreed. A long way from breaking into our team

Well you don't agree then do you

Anyone know if he played yesterday?

Started according to the bbc http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/9173552.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/9173552.stm)

Well you are correct. I misread what was said. Sincere apologies.

Played the full 90 as well. Good stuff.

along with forgetting quoting posts and agreeing with them.
better get off to the doctors
