I'm disappointed he's not staying with us, as I think he's genuinely got enough to be a player for us in League One. I hope he's getting a decent wage at the Plastics, because he's going to need a thick skin the next time he plays against Wimbledon.

Many replies to Sam's Tweet saying good luck to him as his family are happier down south. AFC Wombles fan's will be absolutely spewing about this move though, especially after they wanted him to make his loan a permanent move and then we called him back from loan. A warm reception next time he visits Plough Lane.

Good luck to CLE - he'll especially need it when he faces the real 'Dons', but he's hopefully going with thanks from us all after an excellent second half of the season that helped County get over the line.
Like you, Gazz, I'm sorry to see him leave. Wouldn't complain too much if there were a chance of our getting Dan Kemp from Franchise in return, mind...

I was having a nosey last night at Jake Young's Wikipedia page, remember he spent the first half of the season on loan at Swindon (16 goals in 25 apps) and then got called back to Bratfut and injured his hamstring so 0 goals in 4 apps. He's 6ft 1 and described as pacey so he could be a useful addition to the forward line (currently just Tanto Wootts and Stretts, I see Powell as more of a MF).

So he's about 6ft tall, right -footed, and played at the back towards the end of last season, maybe a bit like Akil Wright then perhaps? (MF turned CB that is).
On the other hand he is also described as a ball carrier.....

He looked a decent player when we were at Colchester last month. Would see him as part of a back three with Horsfall and Pye. Good prospect.

He also seems to have played as a defensive MF, so maybe takes the place of Croasdale. Or in a back 3 that maybe sets Noyle and Touray / Rydel free to bomb forward from WB.
Either way a 3 year contract says DC and SW see him as a core player with development potential and I've seen some nice tackles, dribbling and strong running on some YouChoob highlights.
The news from midfield that I most want to hear is that Collar has made a complete recovery because he can really make the midfield tick and stretch the opposition's midfield. We've missed him badly in towards the end of the last 2 seasons, just when we needed him most.

Fully agree on Collar. Will be like signing a new player when he returns to action, and I feel sure he has the quality to thrive on the League One challenge.

Absolutely, and he showed it in the games with Bolton in the FA Cup, and against Charlton too. As much as Sarce played well, and yes Croasdale's holding role was important but for me Collar was the Dynamo at the heart of the midfield, harassing and pressuring the opposition into making mistakes, and the one who would arrive late on the edge of the box and fire in a fierce shot or cross or a back post header... As good as Paddy and Sarce were at times, Collar was every bit as good at his best, and what a transition from when DC arrived and said that Collar should expect more of himself. Having a healthy Will Collar in midfield will transform this side.

I totally agree regarding Collar, his return will be like a new signing. It's not just his goals, it's his engine too - when at the top of his game and fitness he's an absolute machine.
