Who Are Rovers? Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Looked a different player today, with players around him wanting the ball, he was pulling the strings in midfield in the first half. Did anyone else have any views on him today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 He was very good, as was Wynter and Pack didn't waste a single pass when he came on. I still expect some will come on here and slag him off, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Bang average, still lacks the bottle to challenge when needed, doesn't really lose possession though, but I think anyone of our midfielders could've done what he did today with the 5 yard pass every time he got it, I think I even could!

I still expect some will come on here and slag him off, though. Usually agree with you Graham but he wasn't very good. He was better yes, but still doesn't show enough for me I'm afraid. Good to see him a bit more positive but I think once everyone is fit I wouldn't have him involved. Pack did more with his first three touches than Killa did all game. Like I said he was a bit more positive but still far from stand out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redad Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sloppy backward passes, hardly ever tackles, always looks for safe option. Looked no different from last season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Kilkenny has always been too slow in seeing a pass. He dithers on ball and ends up playing sideways. That said his type of player is essential in the way O'Driscoll wants to play and will feature every game when available. Pack looked decent in the cameo he had today.

Pickle Rick Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sloppy backward passes, hardly ever tackles, always looks for safe option. Looked no different from last season for me. I only saw the 2nd half, but I'd definitely agree with you there. And Pack looked better than what we've had based on his time on the pitch. Complements our play very well.

fka dagest Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Pack did far more in the little time he was on. I agree with you this time. Although I thought Kilkenny was decent, I'd really expect a bit more from an international with his experience. It's going to have to be a Pack & Wynter midfield duo for me.

Taylor10 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought he was decent. Dictated the play in spells. Dictating the play is what Pack did. Spraying it around quickly and accurately whilst adding a bit of zest and energy to the midfield. Killa was a lot better today but he certainly didn't dictate play. I think you're being very generous to him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRed Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 If only Kilkenny was as good as the player he thinks he is. Pack was a class above when he came on, he sees the pass and plays it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack showed more class & guile in less than 45 mins than Killas ever shown me in his time here. Sooner Marlons fit to take place his place next Wynter & Kilkennys out the team the better!

exAtyeoMax Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't rate Killkenny at all. Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards. I just don't think he has anything else to his game. We have more options now so hopefully he can be a late transfer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame Kelly is out. He would compliment Pack very will. That said I think Pack would work well with any of the midfielders we have. Frightening at how good he was at doing the simple things well and dictating the tempo within minutes of coming on. Looks one hell of a buy.

Looks one hell of a buy. He was the same at Bmuff last week mate. Cool composed, sees the quick pass & plays it. He's a one two touch player. That ball with the outside of foot played inside the full back was fantastic. He can take a free kick as well & got a long throw in his locker if ever needed. Much more to come from the boy Pack. Old head on young shoulders & will be the best 80/90k we will ever spend. PACK IN KILLA OUT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Kilkenny - a poor player, won't get to many assists a season from him . Doesn't make himself available much for a link player either . Obviously poor in the air , doesn't tackle . Like to see the back of him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't look on from where I was sat but he slid it through so effortlessly. Definitely Pack in Killa out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought he was excellent against reading but poor today, kept trying to do the lobbed though ball, every time it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else have any views on him today? No difference from what I saw. Given his experience of the NPC Kilkenny was not exactly pulling up trees in a lower league. He had a average game, no urgency, accurate (sideways) but risk free passing, little else evident. He slows down play by dithering and looking for a Hollywood pass, then knocks it 10 yards and admires himself like he is Beckham. Marlon Pack looks stronger, more hungry and appears to have more vision in 15 minutes that Kilkenny showed all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought he looked a lot better than last season, however pack looked twice the player Kilkenny was when he came on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brislingwood Red Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Pack should've replaced him just after half time. Kilkenny was sluggish and laboured in possession. Good players already know what there going to do with the next pass, Killa reacts rather than anticipates. Pack and Wynter in the next league fixture for me.
