Full Backs Today

About as inept as it gets.

 

Both gash. Wiseman the worst for me

 

Bet they both play on New Years Day. Who picks them?

 

What are the options?
Let's just sack Wilson?

 

Equally as poor today , Kennedy average at best and wisemans slipped to his standard now . Kennedy's in team for his corners , but can't pass and last time he beat a man was nether

 

In for his corners? Never seen him put a decent one in yet.

 

In for his corners? They're ****.

 

His corners are as bad as his free kicks.

 

Both poor. Very poor. But Kennedy still showed up for the ball and put a few decent crosses in and at least tried to get forward. Wiseman got to their box once and basically hid.

 

They were worse than that. Much worse.

 

Kennedy is possibly the worst footballer I have ever seen in a Barnsley shirt, that includes willy ferry.
Wiseman has reverted back to the player we all saw early last season

The pair of them need dropping ASAP

 

Kennedy hardly beat the first man every time! By ****! He's had enough practice to cross the ball this season and still can't do it correctly! Angry isn't near what I'm feeling about him and one or two others in the shambles that is barnsley fc. Pay peanuts, get **** in monkeys and we have a zoo full darn at Oakwell!

 

Thought Kennedy was poor, his set pieces are never whipped in the just float. Wiseman I don't think is as bad, was ok second half, his pace is very useful and he set up the chance at the end for COG. First half there was obviously complete confusion as to who was marking who on our right and that is not just Wiseman's fault.

 

I think it was obvious who he should have marked and he should have screamed at Tutu to mark his man too. Staying 30 yards off the winger is not marking anyone, if he marked his man he would not need to use his pace like he does, very very poor judgement, Kennedy is just poor.

 

In general he does use that pace to get out of trouble, today specifically though, maybe I'm being too generous but as a professional footballer of considerable experience I find it hard to believe he just repeatedly abandoned Wisdom (think that's who it was) off his own back, was someone meant to fill in? Who knows but fundamentally I think Wiseman can do a job for us where I think Kennedy looks altogether lost.

 

I thought Wiseman's pace today made him look a lot better than he was. It's a hell of an attribute that pace, he should use it to boss his opposite number. To be fair to him, he has done a few times in the last year. However, today, and in quite a number of other matches, he just uses it to get himself out of trouble because his marking and positioning is so bad. There have been numerous occasions, literally dozens, that he hasn't been within 20 yards of his man this last couple of games. That's not because he hasn't had adequate cover, it's because his positioning is completely wrong. He's not picking someone up in the middle, he's just refusing to mark his man out wide. Sometimes his pace has helped him recover, but often he's so far out of position that it can't help him. It's miles away from being anywhere near good enough at any level of professional football, never mind the Championship.

Kennedy is just rubbish.

 

I just can't understand why Flicker or Danny wouldn't tell Wiseman to get closer to the man on the touch line. Maybe it is that simple and he's just not doing it but having never played professional football I wouldn't want to say for sure.

 

Kennedy's job is not to beat a man but to defend

something he didn't do for 90 minutes today.

Have to admire the fightback in the 2nd half though, shame O'Grady didn't level it at the end.

 

Re: Kennedy's job is not to beat a man but to defend

To me it's time to chuck the young full backs from the u21s let's face it they can't be any worse. I was embarrassed for them both at times today out thought, outfought and outclassed.

 

Re: Kennedy's job is not to beat a man but to defend

I agree. Worst full backs performance I've seen since we were in 4th division.
