Smart move. What he needs right now is games, full 90 minutes. He's going back to known surroundings, where he's more likely to get his confidence back faster. Come back in a month match fit and ready to fight for a place in the team. Meaning he'll be match fit before the hectic Christmas schedule where he's bound to play a part. A move that makes sense in so many ways. With Swindon playing today he'll be up and running in no time.
