It has been said in quiet circles that Mr Kenneth is not a happy bunny following the departure of Dingo our previous manager. How much truth there is in this rumour is yet to be verified however with the arrival of MARK MCCHRYSTAL from Tranmere on a short term contract,Gary Kenneth may spend some time cooling his backside on the subs bench. What do you Gasheads think of Mr Kenneth since he joined us,at first he looked a positive influence in a young back 4,although of late he has become rash in the tackle,commits himself to early and is caught out positionally far to many times for comfort in recent matches.I also have noticed that Parkes is always clearing up behind Kenneth's mistakes,which leaves us vunerable unlike when Parkes and Bolger play together. Do you think that Ward should seek to farm him out to teams in Scotland,just keep him as back up,play him with Billy Crystal in the centre of defence....... now that would be pure comedy .Or am I being to harsh and he is ok at this level and can do a fine job for us?

Couldn't believe it when I first saw Kenneth @ the friendly v City. Bluddy huge...like two Ian Dowies welded together; and he went off pronto with a strain. Then he impressed me when he lost some weight...good presence and looked as if he cared. And then...played like a nutter...own goals...penalties..losing his rag! I'd be happier tomorrow if we start with Parkes and McChrystal; after all, why sign McChrystal if he ain't gonna start?
The millstone is that 3yr contract. Part of me says start with him...he can be good on a good day However it seems to be that in football nobody subs a CB (unlike MF and CF), so if he's having a 'mare he'd probably stay on. As he hasn't played 'cos of the suspension I'd have him on the bench for this match. If the other pair play well then he'll have to stew...perhaps asking to be released from his contract so that he can return to Scotland. There is also the lad Lockyer who played well pre-season and does well for the Youth/Dev. team.
Probably cost us to much cash to release Kenneth on the face of It I would go with your suggestion not heard much about Lockyer's abilities still good to have some other options. Judging Kenneths recent comments about playoffs suggest that he has taken a knock to the head or is badly deluded.No I will go with the lack of brain cells guess as he heads the ball to much COR
kenneth will start and will be captain tomorrow. think it would be more sensible if kenneth and parkes starts because they know each other. have mcchrystal on the bench while he gets use to the team and players. just my opinion what will happen. but what i want to happen is different. kenneth came here unfit and done well to get fit. he was chucked into the deep end before he was fully fit but did well. but as p49 said, mistakes, own goals, giving pens away and being abusive towards the fans at wycombe. yes he and other players got abuse but he should have been a professional and as captain at the time he should now re-acted. went down in my books and the games i have seen since just looks like a player who doesnt look interested. just my opinion on him. soon see tomorrow how he performs to see if wants to be part of wards plans.
That worked well for Ward yesterday having calamity Kenneth on the field also CJ did you notice Ward played Parkes out of position at the start in midfield good to hear that Ward listens to his players. Whilst I do not wish an injury to any player lets hope Kenneth is out long enough to allow Crystal and Parkes to form a decent partnership in CD then he will defo be on the bench. COR
soon as i heard parkes was in midfield i thought why. why is ward making the same mistake as MM. norburn should have started and parkes should have been at the back. both bolger and parkes were looking good vs plymouth but neither started at the back vs gills. bolger because he has gone but stupid not to play parkes at the back. mildenhall cant build relationships up with players at the back if the defence keep swaping around. in a way i agree with you COR as im glad kenneth not available. only issue is if he is out long term, another player needs to come in.
