BORN ON THIS DAY: DAN BALLARD

Born on this day is one of our newest recruits, Dan Ballard, who was signed in the summer window from Arsenal and slotted in at the back almost immediately.

Dan had a starting role for the lads to begin the season but after suffering a broken foot he has been out since early August. The injury occurred in a 2-2 draw against QPR at home. Which was a frustrating game from start to finish, early Ballard injury, their player choking Gooch and then scoring a free kick and of course their bloody keeper scoring the equaliser.

We are all awaiting Ballard's return as he looked really confident at the back and a very good signing for the lads. So enjoy your 23rd birthday Dan and we can’t wait to see you back in action!
