Phil Parkinson (and Richard Murray), took decisive action today to account for the loss of Jon Fortune and Andy Gray for the rest of the season. They have signed centre-half Darren Ward from Wolves and striker Tresor Kandol from Leeds both on loan until May. Both players are familar with south-east London having played for Millwall, and in Ward's case for Palace as well.
Ward has spent this year on loan at Watford where he made nine appearances. His signing looks like ending our interest in Wayne Brown for whom Hull wanted more money than we were ready to give. Ward is a 30-year old and will obviously fill one of two big holes at centre-back against Burnley.
Kandol is a more eye-catching signing having been on loan at Millwall during the first half of the year where he made 22 appearances and scored eight times. He's 27 and has been around the lower leagues all his career, scoring regularly, if not prolifically. On the face of it, that promises more than we have had from any of our strikers so far this season, so he should be welcomed. I just hope it doesn't mean Chris Dickson gets demoted again ahving forced his way to the front of the queue.
