bangers Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 He is too lightweight to play in a midfield 2, so is compensated by having 2 playing alongside him.....leaving us only able to play 1 up top..... He is a creater, a good passer ad a leader......but should never have been signed. Fact is, we can't play with 2 up top unless we drop Kilkenny......but that won't happen seeing he is our only creative outlet. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seriously do you actually support us ? go to any games ? know anything about our players ? Footballers - Come in many different shapes, sizes & varieties. Elliot not very good technique but his work rate, determination is second to none, just because he can't ping the ball like killa or shoot like nicky does not make him, a non-footballer. It's simply pathetic if you think every player should be like xavi or messi, you literally have the tatical nous of a 2 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 If we had 5 or 6 kilkennys we would be bottom. This is the championship, it is very physical and you need a mix of strong ball winners and creativity. Players that can do both generally get signed early by premier league teams. We need more flair going forward or at least a plan B when the opposition suss out Albert and Maynard, which seems to be the case. After the next transfer window I think we will start seeing what the new manager is really about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I BELIEVE Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Kilkenny has been my player of the season so far, bar Albert. Absolute gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 To say there is a problem is a bit silly as a few weeks ago we brushed aside the league leaders and played some great football in a few games. I can definatley say there has been steady progress made under Del which is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Just a thought, but if we do play Killa and only one up front, then to turn your question round, is Maynard too lightweight to play that lone role? The few games I seen Kilkenny hes an inteligent player Was surprised that he played today, thought he was injuried. Imo he makes good passes. But he must have options to send the passes to more than one player upfront. NM and Albert have to find the net soon. Coventry away next game really hops that we can win there. This is going to be a nervy season. Still Im thinks we can avoid relegation. Killa should be in the team imo. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night84 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I like Killa, I think he is an essential player and I thought he did pretty well today. Unlike others in the midfield, when he gets the ball he gets his head up and tries to get the ball moving forward. There was too many players going back to the centre back as an easy option today, needed a little bit more cutting edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Neil Kilkenny likes to jog around in the front of the back four doing nothing. For the first few games under McInnes he made him play higher up the pitch, for some reason he's reverted to Millen tactics of letting him do what he wants.

Lrrr Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I find his energy on and off the ball is crucial for us, when we don't have the ball and presses up to join Maynard it helps us alot. He also organises our team better than anyone else recently when on the pitch. When we have the ball he helps retain posession more times than not and is our best passer.

The Red Planet Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Personally I rate Kilkenny, although he looked a shade off his best today (perhaps because of recent minor injury). For me, he is about as good a midfield general you are going to get in the NPC. Quick to react,, directs play, great touch with the ball, turns effectively to leave behind opponents, well capable of the slide rule pass to play in a winger or a striker. As good as Hartley IMO. MOM today I thought (although there was not much competition for that). I am sure he won't be part of the Mcinnes "must get rid of" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcliffe 78 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 No chance. Slower than an English scrum half... Spends at least one tenth of each game not concentrating on the game because he's blaming his colleagues or the officials for his inadequacies. Decent player for sure but not perfect.

Carey 6 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Think his performance was below par today because of no Cisse so Kilkenny sat deep which allowed Pearson to go forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Killkenny is a great player when played more advanced. When Cisse plays Killa can then be effective! Cisse is key to this formation working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brislingwood Red Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Because he thinks they should do better imo, good player who gets frustrated when players have not the football brain to see the pass, frustration i call it, one tenth never heard that before in a coaching manual. Agreed. An he's right. A few times yesterday he collared Woolford following his continued preference of either running inside or not giving him an outlet. Numerous times Woolford had the opportunity to make the passers mind up by running beyond the full back but chose the wrong decision. If Kilkenny hadn't 'moaned' then no one would've said anything. Kilkenny is one of few pluses to come out of the first half of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Definetely needs to play higher up the pitch that way he can create and pick passes. I think the problem yestrday was that we had no cisse on so that made him come back to pick the ball up from the defence and then had no real movement in front of him so he had no one to pass to. We should of had cisse in front of the back four with Pearson out left not Woolford who again was disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no cisse in the side killa was forced all the way back to take the ball off nyatanga and fonts cos neither elliot or pearson were capable of doing that and starting anything. sorry to say but elliot only works hustling further up he isnt good enough on the ball to pass his way out from deep and pearson did nothing for me, cisse is key to marv and killkenny, with cisse in elliott is not such a worry as he pushes on and hustles killkenny picks up on marvs hustling and gets closer to maynard. dont see how we can play without cisse and be effective. elliott and killa never going to work . del has to decide either its pearson or woolford wide left ,cant pick both .
