    I'm listening REDS on Radio Sheff and collectively, we sound like we are holding our own and giving Burnley some problems.

    But, yet again, TK appears to be way out of his depth. his passing, corners and free kicks sound appalling.

    The weakest link in the REDS team by a country mile......fcukin useless.

    Nobody will convince me otherwise....try by all means, but I ain't shifting on this one.

    I for one aint gonna argue with ya. I have no problems with TK and won't resort to abuse, but he just isn't good enough and we need to look at other options. There are fans that say that we are always trying to find a scapegoat, but any team that wants to improve simply has to look at their weak link and improve upon it. It's not rocket science. Unfortunately that weak link is TK right now, but if replaced there will always be another weak link.

    Cywska takes a free kick from 35 yards that hits target and forces keeper into a save.

    Kennedy hits a free kick or corner and it's floated in with zero intent.

    He really pi55es me off and I cannot believe that Mellon cannot see this is a weak link both in defence, going forward and on set pieces.
    For me......Ramage at left back and MVoto or Nyatanga at centre half.

    REDS have had some poor left backs and I put TK alongside Paul Gibbs as the worst I've seen in a REDS shirt....and I've been watching since mid 1970s.

    It's a bit unfair to judge when I'm not at the game, but he's had a bit of a slating from Derek Parker.

    I just don't think he is good enough at FB, and I wouldn't let him anywhere near a set piece, as long as cwyka is on the pitch.

    Odd thing is, in was quite pleased when he re-signed, but that was when he was playing in the middle.

    I'm judging him on what I have seen with my own two eyes and then what I hear with my own two ears........and he's sh!te......proper dog sh!te.

    You would hope a Warnock or Wilson type manager would spot this immediately and do something about it.

    I'm getting to the point that whenever I hear his name on the team sheet, I feel like not going to the game or turning the radio off.......obviously I wouldn't do that, but that's how it gets me!

    I'm certainly losing patience. There was a cross last week, where we were storming forwards, and he skied it into the Ponty. It was just so bad I couldn't believe it.

    He's not quick enough on the ball, he's one footed, and he's not attacking enough for me. I'd sooner give RNL a run, and accept any mistakes he makes, than watch a weak Kennedy week in week out.

    Not good enough, at a variety of things.

    He must be amazing in training.

    And I'm not abusing/bullying him, before folk start that daft game off.

    I just think he's shown over a fairly lengthy time that he's piss poor at most things. I cannot even think of a positive attribute that he's bringing to the table.

    Both fullbacks aren't up to it.

    That's the bizarre thing. Why is he taking them?
    Corner kicks are a staple of football at any level. Surely out of 11 professional footballers on the pitch, all bar the goalie should be able to kick a stationary ball from the corner into the penalty box at roughly head height? He clearly and consistently can't and yet is first in the queue. I just can't fathom it.

    As a left full back, seen better, seen worse.

    Continuing to play him is a pretty good argument for Mellon not to get the job. He has my full support on the pitch I can't knock his effort or application. He never goes missing and gives everything but clearly way out of his depth.

    Yep, way out of his depth. And was the first player to be given a contract (2 years) under the Flicker regime. Shocking recruitment, truly shocking.

    Must be the first player to be replaced in January by whoever the manager is. And from now until then, if he absolutely must play, please don't let him take another set piece ever again.
