Player of the Month: Scott Kashket (Wycombe Wanderers)

In August, Scott Kashket was nowhere. Frozen out from what he described as a ‘toxic’ atmosphere at Leyton Orient, Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth picked him up on a five-month contract amidst an injury crisis.

As we enter January, the diminutive forward is one of the hottest properties in League Two.

Contracted to Wycombe for two-and-a-half years, he has scored a goal every 65 minutes of League football – the next best is 107 minutes.

His partnership with the unmistakable figure of Adebayo Akinfenwa has reaped rewards for Wanderers, propelling the Chairboys to 10 league games unbeaten and three league wins and a draw in December. Kashket scored in each and every one of those games.

Leyton Orient can simply watch in despair as Wanderers reap the rewards.

Cambridge’s season didn’t start at all well, and for a while, it looked as though they would be spending the campaign as relegation fodder.

Debates around their multiple signings were had, not to mention how they had invested the money from their FA Cup exploits with Manchester United last season.

Such talk is somewhat forgotten now as Cambridge entered 2017 in the play-off places. They started December with a 5-0 win at Hartlepool United and then went on to beat Crewe Alexandra and Stevenage.

A 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient marked the only dropped points in the month for Derry’s men as he’s managed to put United’s early season worries well and truly behind them.

The winger delivered the knockout blow on previous League Two leaders Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day as Wycombe fought back from 3-1 down to take a share of the spoils at Home Park (3-3).

Weston, 28, completed the away side’s late, great comeback in the 89th minute with this stunning strike (below)…
