Likely to start against Charlton tonight according to the club website.
First league start, first league goal for McEvoy.
And to prove that he is indeed Irish, McEvoy was immediately replaced due to injury.
Vine of his goal here: https://twitter.com/AddictedtoSpurs/...90960163651584
He's limping slightly in the celebrations afterwards
He's having an x-ray on it today.

Good grief, hope it's nothing serious. He really is proving his Irishness.
Had his x-ray, no serious damage - "They can't see anything broken or fractured so if it's still sore they will organise an MRI scan to check everything"Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin

Recalled by Spurs from his loan - http://www.theposh.com/news/article/...s-2076886.aspx
Have Spurs picked up any injuries, or suspensions that might explain this?
More likely they saw he's not getting any game time and decided to call him back so they can find a better option. He seemed to start well there but got pushed out following his injury.
The Peterborough fans weren't enamoured with him from the start. It's disappointing that the likes of Drennan, Burke and McEvoy haven't pushed on.

Training with Colchester with a view to signing on loan until the end of the season.
The fact that Spurs are letting him train with Colchester before a deal is even officially announced is a tad worrying - out of sight, out of mind?

Loan until the end of the season confirmed: http://www.cu-fc.com/news/article/co...s-2227516.aspx
Somewhat surprisingly given an 18-month contract extension: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-31112636.html
Why so surprised?

Well Townsend, Mason and Kane had more loans before measuring up than him, Townsend had nine, some of them fairly undistinguished, Kane had four including his last one at Leicester which didn't hint at what he was about to go and do at all.Here's hoping CD.
It just appeared he was on his way out when he was allowed go on trial at Colchester and then that didn't work out. As CraftyToePoke points out, Spurs players have an oddly chequered history going on loan.
Yeah looked that from the outside. The Colchester move was to get him him experience but he was signed on a
youth deal, also with these loan deals there always a clause that states how much game time he should be given but this was not stated in the deal in error. Also shortly after he signed they got another player with more experience in his position which didn't help. He was unlucky at Peterborough - was in the team and got injured, they then struggled for results which ended up in Ferguson getting the boot.
He's very highly thought of at Spurs, hence the deal.
Likelihood is he'll be sent out on loan again but this is just to get him experience

That's good to hear. Not many youth players around now can say they've scored on Victor Valdes.
McEvoy's prospects ranked.

The problem for Kenny is that he's in a position where good players are a dime a dozen, and it will be difficult to break through into a side that is attempting to challenge for the top four. At present he's probably at the League One level, though he has a few years to continue to develop. I think he has the potential to be a solid Championship player, or a useful squad player for a lower-level Premier League club, like a faster Chris Brunt. And maybe that's even giving him the short shrift. After all, just look at Ryan Mason for an example of a marginalized player who came out of nowhere to become a starter. Kenny's got the tools to succeed, but he'll need to continue to push himself, and get a little luck, to make it with Spurs.
