Herbie Kane

Really finding form imo. Picked out Jordan Williams for the first goal, scored and was influential throughout. He's critical to our bid for the play-offs.

I suspect some may disagree but technically I think he's the best player we have.

 

Technically as good as anyone we’ve had in the last 10 years. Just wish he had a bit more physicality and stamina about him

 

He's very good technically but has the agility and pace of the QE2 floating in an ocean of treacle. Reminds me a bit of McPhail - with players around him doing the dirty work he'll be class.

 

A close 2nd for MOTM.

 

Needs to get over the stigma of early loss of hair & become the new Steve Agnew..

 

His best ever performance for us today, imho, but I think that was the case for quite a few of our players (Phillips, Connell, Cadden).

I've read comments claiming MK Dons were very poor. That may be true. They certainly looked it so it's a fair assessment. And so many of our players could have looked so good because the lack of quality in the opposition gave them the opportunity to shine. But it could be that the quality of our players made the opposition look so bad.

I dunno yet, but I saw a lot of very good football today from the majority of our team. Our strikers aren't the best and our midfield is a bit samey (even though they all played very well) , but they really made the system work today. Our wing backs destroyed them and we're the first team I've ever seen play with an attacking centre half.

 

Cracking player but seems to drop out of form quickly without game time. 3 match ban Cam was the same.

If he can stay healthy, he’s the key to a good playoff run.

 

He played well against a poor side. thowt Connell ran the show but Williams overlapping runs were the real threat. liked the lad who scored for them. never gave up and was on the shoulder of the last defender lookin to break. asked them round me if they'd swop him for Devante and all sed ye..

 

True lol.

 

Plays well against sides we are dominating who hy and large by pass midfield. Falters against teams who actually compete in the middle. Lacks pace and physicality but has an eye for a pass. A mixed bag really but given the ability levels of sone teams in the division he should have more good games than bad.

 

He did alright but was he running with concrete in his boots? He should have been quicker to help out his team mate for the MK goal when he was jogging along down by the dugouts.

 

It takes a while longer for him to improve, compared to some others for example. But its good to see him getting better at his game now, and hopefully it will continue.
I posted on here in the summer that he could be like a great new signing, if he can show his potential this time and avoid injuries.

 

Been decent isher in last 2 games but he really needs to speed up in both thought and physical senses.

 

Damn with faint praise thread eh? In my opinion he’s class.

 

He's had a couple of alright games but he's the slowest player I have ever seen in a Barnsley shirt and that includes Jan Molby and Mido. Still, Jacob Butterfield made it work so it's possible if you're good enough. We need to see more.

 

TBF I thought it was more like BFC made them look so poor due to the quality of our team performance, I really thought 1 1 flattered MK Don's at half time and 3 1 at full time the same.
The most dominant win since Fowls away but they were on quality better than MK Don's.

 

Watch the highlights of the MK Dons goal. They are attacking the touchline by the dugouts running at Kitching. Kane is literally jogging behind the MK Dons player and making no attempt to help Kitching out to give us a better chance of stopping the attack. He played well in parts but it was nowhere near a MOTM performance.

 

The fact that he made the first and scored the third was presumably the ‘played well in parts’ bit then. But you choose to pick out the one thing that, arguably, he could be criticised for. And I say arguably because it’s a matter of opinion, not a fact.

 

Thought dwelt on the ball too long for the 1st goal but a great pick out in the end good finish for his goal hit it early and caught the keeper flat footed. That's the good but didn't track his runner for there goal but then a comedy of errors after that, for me at this level he's a 8/10 with the ball 5/10 without.
