    Seriously what were we playing at?

    After Kennedy's shocking first half today I was wondering why.....

    We've got 13 midfielders, Jennings, O'Brien, Dawson, Mellis, Frimpong, Digby, Lawrence, Woods, RNL, McCourt, Cwyka, Etuhu & Shea all on the books yet we've only got one left back & he's one of our worst squad members.

    Surely the wages that Lawrence is taking could've gone on a left back? Crackers.

    Our only other option there is an injury prone centre back.

    Not exactly a balanced squad.

    Yep, as bad as our goalscorers performance in the first half too, apart from the first three minutes. Btw did you notice the three important clearances towards the end of the match that TK was involved in? Thought not...

    I did he was very good second half but had a shocker in the first.

    I'm not trying to single out Kennedy more the decision makers above him on why we've got 13 midfielders yet Kennedy who's one of the weaker players in our team has no competition whatsoever.

    Kennedy has been ok recently but his first half display was as bad as anything I've seen from him. The point you make is a good one did we not think we needed sone extra cover at left back where we gave been weak all season. It was something that I found to understand.

    all midfielders on bench today , doesnt give us many options if a defender gets injured

    Pretty much everything he touched first half turned to ***** bless him. Continually losing possession or misplacing his passes in dangerous areas. Making the wrong runs or no runs going backwards and forwards. Drifting inside and losing his man. The list goes on. Picked up second half though.

    What did he do that was so bad? He set up our goal and didn't really do anything wrong that I can remember.

    As previously stated, he gave the ball the way umpteen times. I counted 3 in the first 5 minutes, it was laughable. He also didn't set the goal up, it was Cranie.

    He did make a couple of good challenges near the end, and put ONE good cross in. Other than that, poor as usual. However we won, so personally I'm moving on, and just praying he leaves in the summer, whichever league we're in.

    I thought it was TK who set the goal up but I haven't seen it back yet so I could be wrong. Was he the only player to give the ball away? No so I don't understand the need to single him out again.

    kennedy was poor first half,but so were quite a few others,our midfield was all over the place,i thought we were lucky to come in 1 nil up.not sure where radio Sheffield got it from that we bossed the pitch,millwall we equally poor and i thought it was a scrap for three points and was glad when the ref finally blew the whistle.
    typical relegation match really.

    He gave the ball away numerous times needlessly but this threads not really to have a go at Kennedy in particular. It's just he's got no competition & can play poorly every week yet keep his place because we've no other left backs

    Kennedy is gash at best! Not based on today, based on me watching his entire BFC performances!

    The blowk hasn't a footballing bone in his body and is well out of his depth! I can't believe that DW has got rid of 'the rotten ones' and TK survived the cull?!?!?!?

    He's gash, simple as!
