Lack of striker...namely one kedwell !

Experimenting is a present way forward i'd like to also see brb, i'd rather see that than persisting with something that isn't happening...missed chances and other teams defences having an easy ride most of the game. kedwell does seem more suited to a midfield role as you say brb, he spends enough time back there...could just work, but got to say his forward play is lost on me !
Yes Weston for me also is more effective than kedwell in that forward position, just feel he will get more pressure in the other teams final third than most forwards we have...hell i'd even go as far as to say German or Williams would be more effective as an out & out.

I don't hold much hope for Birchall at Gillingham fc either which is a shame a bit to lightweight and his confidence looks all over the place...we need a lot of work on our forward line should we progress, along with midfield...who knows..we could see kedwell there at some point soon !

 

It looks like Fulham fc have become p***ed off with the fact Williams isn't getting any game time either...he's been recalled

yet we're still stuck with the same problem

 

Are you capable of sending a post without using the icons?

 

Are you capable of putting two sentences togeather or try backing any of the crap you wish to air on this forum...?


if i've caused ill feeling due to my kedwell protesting outburst, you should of said...D***h**d of many names on different forums

 

Kedwell works and plays in this team whether you like it or not gills4ever. He's not an out and out scorer, but very few are at this level. Kedwell is not a typical striker, he's not a finisher, he's not a goalpoacher/fox-in-the box and he's not an a bog standard target man either due to him being just shy of 6ft. Kedwell is a centre forward. A type of player that doesn't always offer goals but offers far more to the team collectively. If you want another example of a centre forward, then look no further than Wayne Rooney. A player who works incrediblly hard for both Man United and England. Ok he posseses more quality than Kedwell but they both do a lot of things very similar to each other.

People seem to forget that we were highest goalscorers in the league last season and we didn't have an out and out goalscorer then. We had Kuffour, Nouble and Tomlin to chip in with extra goals. This year we have Burton and Weston who have effectively replaced them and still have Charlie Lee & Chris Whelpdale who will with no doubt score more goals. Most of these goals have included Kedwell in the build up play, and whether you like it or not, will still keep offering these opportunities for the team.

Now get off of his back and actually celebrate we're top of the league!

 

gills4ever, you have your opinion about Kedwell, but you lost the argument with the title including the words ''striker'' and ''Kedwell'' Kedwell is not a striker, he is a target man who scores a great penalty! As I said the other day how many clubs have a goalscorer who scores 20 goals a season? There aren't many these days, but that said Kedwell was top scorer last season, will be this one and next season in League One!

 

Chaps - can we keep it civilised ? There's no problem with having differences of opinion - but no need to go somewhere near nasty comments - however they may be disguised by asterisks - we all support the same team
Can I re-iterate what I said in Post No.17 in this thread - that, basically I think that MA has changed his tactics. He has made the side become very defensive. This is having an impact on the position in which Kedwell operates. Maybe he is not being used to his best potential - and we are 'getting on his back' a little unnecessarily. ( I say this as not his greatest fan. )
I'd like to see the team revert to the tactics of early season. Virtually all the players are still in the squad - but sadly I suspect that MA will try to ensure that the team do not lose any of the remaining 11 games ( 11 points ) - and see if we can 'nick' an extra 2 points in some of the games - BUT - it won't be pretty to watch.

 

No sorry, still not convinced, go away and try again young man. as for "get off his back"...please ! how about he gets off his rear end and contributes a whole lot more than he has to date.

my opinion won't change where kedwell is concerned, just as his tally of goals for the rest of the season won't...end of.

as for you Gfc0000 comeback when you have something to back up your theory and logic, the same old story with you

 

I think you have summarised the outlook accurately always. It is the biggest condemnation of attacking football that could ever be imagined, but I think the limit of MA's ambition for the rest of the season is to concede no more than 2 or 3 goals and to sneak a series of 0-0s and the odd 1-0 which will deliver autopromotion. It is likely to be even worse to watch than what we have suffered for the last 4 months. There is one small ray of hope though which is if the results go well we might have a handfull of games when promotion is secured and the opportunity is there to experiment. That could be interesting and I suspect MA will not have a clue what to do.

 

You make it sound that ensuring automatic promotion by grinding out results is a bad thing?

I think we can all agree that the style of football isn't pretty but surely the ends justify the means in this instance?

 

At this stage results are the only important thing. The entertaining football was played earlier in the season but now similar to the Pulis promotion season all that counts is getting the points to achieve automatic promotion. We are in a far better position than in the last two seasons and that's down to the manager. As for Kedwell well I always think we are a far better side when he is in the team and results when he plays show his importance to the team.

 

IF the guy is not actually performing to his full potential........getting on his back is not going to help. His tally has dried up (he hit double figures back in October) but he is what we've got and proven scorers do not come cheaply as we found out with the likes of Super Bob Taylor,Carl Asaba, Ade Akinbiyi.....and that was more than 10 years ago. Factor in the ludicrous inflation that abounds in football today......and where would we get this 'proven' goalscorer from and at what price? He delivered in the first few games so what else has happened? Thoughts please.....but please don't go back to banging on about Kedwell, football is an 11 man team game......plus the management and of course the fans.

 

It's so far only on the rumours site, but I wonder if it's likely especially as he's not in the team, and that is we could be getting Matt Tubbs from Bournemouth on loan. Something that adds credence to to the story is that Bournemouth seem to be in a bit of financial problem and have had to make some back room redundances.

 

Two offers that did not materialise:

Sorry gills4ever, I didn't realise that to have "football knowledge" someone had to agree with you.

And why is supporting Kedwell "sitting on the fence"? Not having an opinion either way is sitting on the fence. Having an opposing view is, well, having an opposing view.

I'd best keep all my opinions and football beliefs to myself in future, unless of course, they are the same as yours

Although Keds is still in my team.

 

How could he possibly contribute more to the team than he already does??? Like I said he is involved in most of the goals we score one way or another and he was very unlucky not to score against Aldershot! He probably gets more off his rear end then any other player on the pitch. Also stop moaning at Kedwell about his goal tally, he's not a 20 goal a season striker!

Also the fact we've only lost Once when Kedwell has started in the league speaks for it self!

 

Not sure it's worth the effort GPL.

gills4ever started this thread by stating our goals are "drying up at the business end of the season".
I pointed out that before the Aldershot game, Keds had only appeared 3 times as a sub in the previous 8 games (this is the business end, right?). You rightly point out that we've only lost once when he's started all season. That means we've lost 6 in the dozen or so games he hasn't started. Maybe, just maybe, all his efforts do assist our wins. He might not the the cure of all our recent ills, but he certainly isn't the reason for them.

But gill4ever doesn't seem to want to hear any of this. As shown by the comment -

"my opinion won't change where kedwell is concerned,". No kidding.

And "sorry, not convinced, go away and try again". What?? Why the heck do we have to try to convince you? MA picks the team.

So no point in trying. gills4ever doesn't think Keds is any good, end of story.

Still, onwards and upwards. We would all love that 20+ goal striker alongside keds. But it ain't gonna happen now Cody's gone back. So lets just get on with it.

 

sorry Idiot, i think you'll find it was me who started this thread...hence it's you not agreeing with my opinion, not the other way round
Sarcasm being the lowest form of wit sure does come to mind regards your latest comment, i'd say your welcome to sit on the otherside of the fence, it's because of fello fans like you that this club sits where it is due to you being content with what it is...sure do feel sorry for your boyfriend


pegleg...."unlucky not to score against Aldershot" shame he's been wearing these most of the games he's played for us



your quite welcome to your own views, just allow others to view there own theory

 

This a disappointing thread, not because of the subject matter but because of the way some of us reacting to other peoples opinions. We are all entitled to our opinion and without opinions these forums would be very dull. Kedwell is not the first player to divide opinion I mentioned Mulligan in an earlier post, and then there was Adam 'Marmite' Miller, some loved him, many hated him, (for the record I thought he was a good player), and DK won't be the last player we disagree about, but we are all supporters and we all want the club to succeed. I have not been impressed with Kedwell personally, but plenty of people have seen more of him this season and our results with him in the team are better there is no arguing with that, as we approach the end of the season we need to win half our matches and we will be promoted so I suggest we play to our strengths and this season we have been strongest with DK in the team

 

Gees, can someone else help me out here please?
Yep, I disagreed with g4eva's opinion. Did I state anything else?
I haven't stopped him having the opposite view. Just put my own view.
He doesn't like Keds but I think he's a decent player. He started the thread and said people might disagree.

Because of this I cop this abuse?

brb are you going to allow this abuse on this forum?
I have always enjoyed open debate on here and I don't mind disagreements. I don't think I've bagged gills4everandaday in any of my posts. Just disagree with his views on Keds.

And yet he calls me an idiot, says I'm sarcastic, and then questions my sexuality???
And he calls gfc1234's opinions "crap" further up the thread.

If this is what not606 is about, I think I'll just use other forums where this doesn't happen.
