Scrumpy_247 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 What did everyone think of Neil Kilkenny's performance yesterday? I thought he looked decent, he got stuck in and played some great passes. Perhaps he could have done more for the last goal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked decent, he got stuck in and played some great passes. Perhaps he could have done more for the last goal though Agree. He had a very good game. Didnt have a stray pass and put himself about. Certainly deserves to keep his place. The same cant be said about Pearson. He needs a rest. Could Morris & Killa work ?

KevP Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I thought it was his best performance in a City shirt. Just my opinion though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy_247 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah definatley, not sure if it was because it was against Leeds, if he can get that fired up every week then he would be fantastic. He must be a good player as he was in Arsenal's youth team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I was also impressed with him and to be fair he has done fairly well when called upon under Del. Surprised to see some fans criticising his performance as personally he'd of been my MOTM (not that there was much competition). It's important that if he gets another chance he maintains that level of performance as it's easy to be up for a game against your old club, playing like that every game is what counts. Hopefully if chosen on Tuesday, he'll play like he did against Millwall away last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Won a couple of headers and a great sliding tackle in the second half, busy all over the pitch and passing generally spot on. Wouldn't say he was overrun but works better in a 3/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy_247 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I was shocked to hear Richard Foster announced as MOTM. I would play Elliott and Kilkenny in CM against Millwall, we missed Marv's energy yesterday I think. That 3rd goal may not have happened if Marv was on the pitch.

nickolas Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Perhaps it was just me that thought he was sh1te then?! Sideways passing, the usual pointing and moaning and hiding. The guy couldnt tackle a fly. He made a couple of nice interceptions i'll give you that but hes powder puff and contributes no physical presence to the team. He cant play in a midfield '2' and we were woefully short in midfield partly because of his inclusion in the team ( which i couldnt understand ). I think the ex leeds tag got him a game tbh.

JammyOne Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I just don't understand why Jody Morris isn't given a chance He hasn't really been able to play at this level throughout his career and he's what 33 now? He won't improve any time soon. I think Del brought him in as back up and as a favour to the out of work former Johnstone player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 didnt rate Kilkenny, slowed the game down too much, Pearson needs a battler like Skuse/Elliott alongside him which left us totally exposed in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Kilkenny did alright but it was blatent to see him and Pearson were defotiantly not on the same wave length. Though I suppose Elliot was supposed to play but that should be no excuse. Kilkenny doesn't deserved to be dropped yet like LJ to be effective must play in a central 3. Which could be a possiblity if i helps us keeps the ball more means less chance of the defence getting under pressure. Even though we are home I wouldn't be against playing one from taylor/Davies/Baldock up front by themselves if we play Kilkenny/Pearson/Elliot in a central 3 with then Adomah joining the front striker as much as he can. Less time defence have it less time to worry, only as a temporary measure whilst our defence is so bad. Worst happens we concede stuff another striker back and go back to what we do best and try and out score the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think Adomah's 2nd half performance deserves a little mention also, scoring the first goal and assist for 2nd isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 For me; Foster deserved his MotM, Pearson, another hardworking performance but looses concentration too easily, marking was also sloppy; Wilson looked incredibly nervous alongside fontaine, who also had another fairly bad performance. Kilkenny for me was... Well average; tackling i reckon was because of who we were against, and it was rare to see gim make a foward pass; if not for foster flying down the wings, im pretty sure we wouldve failed to score at all that game. Generally; its very obvious we miss Skuse and Cunningham, wish George the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I thought he retained the ball well and his pass completion must have been 80%. That said most of his passes were back to Heaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Ashton Red Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 He hasn't really been able to play at this level throughout his career and he's what 33 now? He won't improve any time soon. I think Del brought him in as back up and as a favour to the out of work former Johnstone player. I cant imagine anybody justifying a signing as a "Favour"... Del doesnt come across as that type of person. Morris is a good passer of the ball, but at the moment, just better players at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Killa was neat and tidy no more no less. Like others have said loads of simple 5 yard sideways or backwards passes. He wont ever dominate a midfield when played in a 4. Fact is you win and lose games on the strength of your midfield and ours whoever we pick aint good enough. It's not just our inpet defending that's costing us games. It's the lightweight clowns infront of the them offer no protection at all - and that includes Skuse.

Portland Bill Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 sideways pass sideways pass sideways pass kilkenny sure likes his sideways pass Personally I would rather see 50 sideway passes if we keep the ball. Far better than hopeful balls forward that give the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbred Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Personally I would rather see 50 sideway passes if we keep the ball. Far better than hopeful balls forward that give the ball away. Its too obvious with him though, you know when the ball gets played to him its going sideways before he even touches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanaticRed Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I would rather have the ball going sideways and keeping the ball, rather than aimless balls going forwards and losing possession Different way of playing, same outcome spring to mind! doesn't matter which way you prefer, the fact still remains both styles are ineffective.

tiz Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I thought Foster, Killkenny and Foster had good games. The problem as always is the defence. Ok Elliot as pointed out may have helped out in that area if he had been playing but its there where we are losing games, compounded by the two full back injuries.

pongo88 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 didnt rate Kilkenny, slowed the game down too much, Pearson needs a battler like Skuse/Elliott alongside him which left us totally exposed in the middle I thought he had a good game but I agree with the bit about him slowing the game. I think it’s difficult to play him in a midfield when you have 2 wide players – Albert and Woolford. He’s not really a defensive player, even though he put in some good tackles on Saturday. He really needs to play much further forward which means you need 2 other defensive midfield players behind him, or play him in a 4 - 5 - 1 formation. I'm not really in favour of 4 - 5 - 1 at presents as we've, al last, started to score some goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 He hasn't really been able to play at this level throughout his career and he's what 33 now? He won't improve any time soon. I think Del brought him in as back up and as a favour to the out of work former Johnstone player. Despite being a former Chelsea club captain and a player who moved to Leeds when they were signing the best young British talent? Yeah, never been capable at second tier level at all....

steviestevieneville Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 What did everyone think of Neil Kilkenny's performance yesterday? I thought he looked decent, he got stuck in and played some great passes. Perhaps he could have done more for the last goal though Carey gave the ball away for the third, trying a simple 5 yard pass, not Killkenny's fault. He was good on the ball but he doesn't get around the pitch as well as Skuse/Elliott and Pearson. I think he was only in the team because Marv got a slight groin strain. Wrong thread i know but it's the first time this season i have been annoyed at us . Letting Beccio win the header so easily for the second and the way Carey gave the ball away for the third really was school boy football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to Radiohead - OK Computer when Jody Morris was knocking about at Chelsea and let me tell you that feels like a fair amount of time ago!
