    Has McNuggs played his last game for the club?

    Nightmare against Peterborough and he was taken off - given another go against Bro and taken off again at half time.

    Connolly should be locked into that RB spot as Tayls is on the left, and juggle Huds, Turner and Nugent in the middle.

    For me, and as much as I like him and am grateful for his time with us, he's a dead man walking.

    Don't mean to be unkind, just want to keep the bloody goals out to get out of this division.

    From what little i have seen and all the reports it does appear McNugget is on borrowed time. Great service to the club but maybe time to move on, if we get promoted he will be one of the casualties anyway.

    I though he had opened up contract negotiations... maybe they were dropped after Sat?

    Yep - been saying it for a long time. His energy and his ability going forward (except for his crosses) have masked the fact that he can't defend. He tends to get lost and caught out of position where it matters. He has been a great servant to the club but the time has come for him to move on.

    He's been a war horse for the Bluebirds played Right, Left & Centre Back and done a good job where ever he played.

    The end of last season and this season he has gone down hill, that's a pity but time to move on.

    I have been one of his staunchest supporters on here but after last Saturday I very much regret the subs bench is the best he can hope for in the remainder of the season barring a crisis at the back.

    Its odd how he can keep someone like Zaha in his pocket as he has done so often and then got caught out as against the 2 Boro's.

    Looks like he can defend well when he knows who he is marking but when they mix it up a bit he loses the plot.

    there was a time when he was untouchable.

    He has however been quite injury prone over the last two seasons. It is sad to see such a stalwart fading in front of us.
    He still has something to offer this season from the bench, but I just can't see him getting much game time next season. Mind you I dare say MM needs to consider all options for next season regarding the defence.

    There was a time not so long back he would have been one of the first on the team sheet but sadly not any more. Injuries haven't help but his time as a bluebird is drawing to a close...especially IF we can get up this year.
    Cant fault the commitment and passion he has shown over the years but there will be a few players who wont feature much and Super Kev, unfortunately, will be one of them

    Truth is if you ever watched us away our midefield are getting battered,wrong subs to make as we need pace and width not a ball holder when we are losing ......................

    Sad to see how his game has deteriated in all aspects. I think for his benefit he should consider a move. Having said that I personally don't think Connolly really offers much more though.

    Connolly can defend. Sadly kev can't at the moment.

    Bit Chicken and Egg.......looks off the pace, probably because of lack of match time.....but is unlikely to get much match time because he's so far off the pace...shame

    Don't think we will see much more of Kev. He does seem to have gone downhill this season.
    Been amazing for us since he came south and it will be a shame if he is remembered for this season and not all the previous ones.
