It's totally dysfunction.
No guile.
No nasty.
No inventiveness.
No leadership.
Nothing.

What about Laurent? I'm certain I saw him make a tackle but I might have missed it.
Seriously though, Kilkenny would put more in than that surely, so why isn't he playing any minutes at all?

I'm sure when we signed Thompson his highlights reel from Blackpool was an attacking winger.
We've turned him into an absolute wanker of a footballer.

Said this a few weeks ago it’s the worst midfield in the league for me, an absolute shitshow😂

You would think that would be the case, but the manager obviously does not rate Kilkenny. The lad has come here on loan and has literally been used to warm the bench. I have never seen him play, but surely he cannot be any worse than the current out of form trio who are starting every game at the moment? |

I’m pretty sure it was Sunderland that Kilkenny played in and he looked busy and ended getting taken off injured when he was concussed. He had decent reviews from the Bournemouth fans so he must be worth being given a chance. The current combination is shocking and has no bite and pretty much offers nothing. Right now I’d giving anything a go. Maybe Laurent and Kilkenny sitting with Powell ahead of them. I have a feeling the reason Kilkennys not being played is because we’re looking at sending him back to Bournemouth it’s the only explanation. |

I have a feeling the reason Kilkennys not being played is because we’re looking at sending him back to Bournemouth it’s the only explanation. Yeah I don’t quite get it either. He’s been in usurped a bit but he can’t even get on as a sub. Given how wank we are in midfield and the fact that I’ve never actually seen Baker and Thompson exchange a single pass in I don’t know how many games, there has to be an attempt to get a better balance by playing Kilkenny. I’m not expecting him to be the new messiah but he looks like a battler and someone who will put his foot on the ball a bit, which is what we desperately need. The persistence with Smallbone at the expense of Baker in a deeper role isn’t working, the partnership between Baker and Thompson isn’t working so Kilkenny or Powell seemingly have to play. On another note, Tymon isn’t a winger - he has to play at LB or WB or not at all. |

We complain about the defence and attack but it is the midfield where the problems lie.

Could it be that if we start to play Kilkenny it will make it more difficult to get the loan cancelled? If he doesn't play he won't be happy, Bournemouth won't be happy and they will probably agree to recall him. That's the only reason I can see for not giving him a go. |

It needs to be ripped up.
Powell
Thompson (by default really) Kilkenny
Go from there and adjust as needed, what we have so far isn't working.
