Wiseman v Kennedy

How many players worse than Kennedy have been such a first team regular in recent years?

Not many.

Wiseman is a defender who can't defend. Kennedy can't do anything except flick his hair.

 

I agree on that but there was no mention of first team regular

 

That's my point, thanks mate.

 

Kennedy the better defender? Everybody has waltzed round him all season! I didn't rate or like Wiseman but Kennedy makes him look like Bobby moore at his best

 

Wiseman is the better player. Well, he's got all the ingredients to be the better player, but far too often he just stopped doing what he was supposed to be doing. With that in mind, I don't know how anyone can vote for him after he said what he did when he left. We paid him handsomely, but he didn't want to be here, he never wanted to be here and his performances reflected that. Completely unprofessional. A total disgrace.

Kennedy might not be up to much, but what we see out on the pitch is him trying to come to terms with his limitations. Sometimes he does and puts in a good performance, at other times the opposition get the better of him. When that happens it's not because he doesn't give a **** like Wiseman. Kennedy might not be the most committed player we've ever had, few players in the squad this season are (they're 95%ers, working hard but not running themselves in to the ground like O'Brien and O'Grady), he's far from the best player we've ever had, but he has a go. He doesn't just give up. In a few games I've seen Kennedy have a nightmare opening 20 minutes, but he kept trying and ended the game having played quite well. If Wiseman started a game badly his head would go down and he'd just stop playing.

Wiseman put in a number of performances that were much better than Kennedy has ever produced, but there were plenty that were far worse too and I believe, after hearing what he thought of Barnsley, it's because he just didn't care. If he was feeling good he'd give it a go. If he wasn't, he wouldn't bother. That's not acceptable.

 

The love for TK is strong in this thread.

We're getting there, Thomas, we're getting there.

You TK Reds.

 

Oh god, gonna change your name to Andy 'TK' White now?

 

Disagree. Wiseman was out of position lots & got skinned way too often for someone with his pace. Kennedy does get skinned at times but at least he's aware of his own limitations & gets a couple of yards goal side of the winger.

I feel like we're comparing one turd with another though
