Keegan ...like playing with 10 men?

[Norfolk N Chance]

Truly awful again !

Never wins a ball?
Never passes an incisive ball?

You see better on a Sunday afternoon!

Sorry Harper not the problem,,,Keegan is!

[mushRTID]

Agree mate.

[Norfolk N Chance]

Agree mate.

Sorry rather play a wheelie bin than Keegan...He nearly does this and that...... dosent he?

But does he do it?

NO!


Sadly I really do not understand why Saunders plays him!

[andysly]

On commentary today I think they said he's now upto 8 yellows.  Should be due a ban soon.

[drfcsteve]

Didn't understand why Saunders handed him a new contract at the start of the season but he must see something as he keeps playing him.

[albie]

Syers in on 4 yellows, I think, one short of a ban.  So basically he needs to go cardless at PNE to avoid sitting out the Blunts game, as the amnesty kicks in from January.

Keegan is still 2 shy of another sit on the naughty stair, so is going to meet that problem pretty soon. All about making sure that we deal with one at a time, not a handful of suspensions coinciding with injuries.

DFP reported Michael Woods has left, and now Clingan has also moved on we are told. New blood early in the window will make the availability problem smaller.

[The Red Baron]

Point of information - the card Hume picked up today was his 4th yellow of the season, not his 5th. So he would not be banned for the Preston game. I think the confusion stems from the fact that in the Oldham home game he was dismissed for two yellows. In such cases, the first yellow is wiped out.

Leading yellow cards after today's game as follows:

Keegan   8
Jones   6
Cotterill    5
Quinn   4
Hume   4
Brown   3
Syers   3
Bennett   3

So only Quinn is in danger of a ban for five yellows should he pick up on on Saturday. However, if any accumulate 10 before some time in April they will cop a two game ban.

How on earth has Bennett got 3 bookings?

[Norfolk N Chance]

Actually he worked hard off the ball yesterday.

I would have Bennett in my side any day over above

However, Martin woods on the wing would give the team more  balance

Aye, could say he ran about like a headless chicken

I don't see why you would cos he's been b*llocks for a few months now.

Inb4 "clueless", "he's breathtaking" and the like.

[MachoMadness]

I know he's got at least 2 of them for dissent.

Sorry Harper not the problem,,,Keegan is!

amen to that thought it was just me

[hoolahoop]

I present the new ''Wilson'' for you then lads.............seems some of you always need a fallguy rather than to support ALL our players again.

Are you gonna have a pop at him after EVERY game? Win or lose? Like Hoola said, arise the new Mark Wilson!

[RedJ]

Norfolk seems to think unless you can cross like Ronaldo, dribble like Messi and pass like Fabregas, you're w**k.

No place for grafters, eh NNC? Not saying he's brilliant by any means, but f**k me last season it was Gilly, now Keegan, yet you seem to think Bennett is "breathtaking" and Woods is top class.. erm, no?

You need to be able to play football if you're gonna play at the 3rd tier in England. You can play at Sunday league standard and still be a "grafter".

[donnievic]

Unlike keagan he does the things no one takes notice off,think last few games he hasn't been at his best,don't think u can play him and harped together at home a but prefer him to hamper if had to choose

Sorry he is not fit to wear the shirt

One of worst players seen live

So yes I stand by the above like watching some bloke from a pub who is massively out of his depth.

Why does Saunders pick him?

Yes your right just f**king athletes that dont have a place in football.

Get Jessica Ennis to play at least he is nice to watch

[benaldo]

If all anyone can say positively about a footballer is "they graft", it tells you all you need to know about how good that footballer is at actually playing football.

Sorry, for me, Keegan isn't even in Wilson's league - something I thought I'd never say.

[IDM]

There's 11 players in the team, plenty of room for grafters as well as the more talented ball players.  Keegan is in the former rather than the latter, I agree, but we do need grafters within the 11?  Perhaps not two though, ie Harper/Keegan combined?

Why does Dean pick Keegan?  Because it is Dean's job to pick the team FFS!  He's the manager, he picks the 11, and his 23x 11 players have got us to 4th in the table, 3 points off the top, with a game in hand. 

What's the f***ing problem?  So what if not every player has equal talent, Dean trusts  them to be in the 11 so so should we - get behind the team that is picked!!

By all means criticise individual performances, especially after the game, but take a look at where we are eh?

Firstly, there's no need to call Jess a man.

Also, I don't get why you rate Bennett so highly (and this was more the thrust of my post than actually defending Keegan's abilities) when he does basically the same but with a bit more pace. Runs about, does f**k all then loses the ball.

[Bristol Red Rover]

I've seen Keegan play about 4 games and  he's done a good job. He has limitations like anyone, and I'd say creativity is where he's lacking. I would tend to play Syers instead of him, or interchange them from the bench so we have an energetic bustler on the pitch at all times. Would I rather have Wellens as he was back in the day? Of course, but we have Keegan, Woods, Syers, Harper, Meade, and Middleton. They all have their place. Rather than just saying any player is crap, he can't do this or that, maybe think and add in how he could be used.

Far too easy for some to just slag him off I think t'was always the way at our club. It's far too easy to destroy the confidence of one of the players our manager has faith in .

I cannot believe people watch the same games as me!

Sorry he contributes nothing to the game.

He runs and runs but does nothing exactly nothing!

He does not have the ability to break up play cos he anticipates nothing.

His passing ability is laughable.

His heading ability is laughable,

I really cannot believe how bad he is?

 

[hoolahoop]

Admitted he's not the best at the moment Norfolk but why do you persist in ripping one of our players to bits ENOUGH I'm not replying to anymore of you diatribes.

Bennett contributes very little.

Bennett runs and runs and does very little.

Bennett seems to think cutting inside will work every time, failing to anticipate the defender cottoning on.

Bennett rarely seems to want to pass.

Rarely see Bennett head.

I do like Bennett and I'm not trying to pull him to pieces for the sake of it but I'd love to know why you sit tossing over him yet he himself achieves very little either.

I dont and I say that Martin Woods should start ahead of him so get your facts right.

Bennett on his day is unplayable and for that reason is clearly better than me sat on my arse!

Keegan?? Get better in a pub team i think?

 

[StocktonRover]

They're Rovers players - whilst ever Dean picks them or any other player they will get my support.
Constructive criticism is fine, but continual slagging off of our players is a trend amongst too many fans nowadays and can only be counter productive.

You don't for a second think that Dean reads this forum and thinks " I better drop him because a small minority of faceless fans on a forum don't like him...."

Get behind the players, the team, the manager and pull together towards that very much unexpected successful season we are having.
