On-loan Blues left-back Myles Kenlock netted his first senior goal on his Colchester United debut as the U’s won 3-0 away at Salford City yesterday.

Kenlock, 25, who joined the League Two side on loan for the rest of the season on Thursday, scored the North Essex side’s second goal, former Blues skipper Luke Chambers having grabbed the opener.

Londoner Kenlock hadn’t previously found the net in any of his 94 competitive starts and nine sub appearances for the Blues, although he did score in a pre-season friendly at Barnet in the summer of 2018.

Ex-Blues midfielder Cole Skuse, a similarly infrequent goalscorer, also came close to getting his name on the scoresheet when he hit the post.

Kenlock, Skuse and Chambers were joined in the Colchester line-up by former Town players Alan Judge, Emyr Huws and Freddie Sears, while Dean Gerken, Tommy Smith and Frank Nouble were among the subs.

Monkey_Blue added 13:36 - Jan 23 Col U's squad is top six so you've got to wonder if the manager was the problem…. They now have an ex town man as manager as well. Hope all goes well for them, but especially the ex town crew there.

ldnj added 15:28 - Jan 23 Well done and Mon of the Match. I never understood why, after a few games, he disappeared from Cook's squad when he didn't need him. Reading match reports he was often involved in things. I hope he does well.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 16:16 - Jan 23 I've always liked Myles K. He's always put in a shift for ITFC despite sometimes being out of the picture for ages. Great attitude. Best of luck at little 'ol Col U. I think they need it.
