He's made my life! Many happy feels. Captain Kenny.

How exactly do you slice 'through' a 'midfield' and its one person's fault. Merry Xmas x

You do know that midfield has 4 sometimes 5 players? If you're fully committed to this cr@p then give some examples of him at sole fault Go full scapegoat, you've verynearly completed the loony fan bingo

I think he thinks football is purely a numbers game and fans are blind if they're not GJL. Kenny influences games in ways that won't show on the stats that fools value like it makes all the difference.

That he's an international midfielder. Captain of Norwich City FC. Legend.

Oooh look who's had a gin in a tin

That Kenny isn't as bad as you want him to be. You said top 2 divisions. That includes the prem. He scores for them. They love him. We love him Get on board!

Useless pair him and Dowell.

Merry Christmas to all. I hope some of this cheer rubs off on the misers and we all see a new year, new us for 2024. Could happen!

I'll let you count the midfielders x https://uk.soccerway.com/players/players_abroad/scotland/

Picked consistently by a good national team manager for his country too Must be absolutely awful. I don't know what he did to you but its must be bad so I believe you. MERRY XMAS X

I think only one person agrees with you. And everyone else sees the clutching of straws. It's pretty desperate to put blame on Kenny being part of 2 excellent pairings that got promoted. I think its probably a better bet to Trust the judgement of every manager he's played under than one devout hater so I'll save my breath. Merry Xmas! Genuinely! Enough of this nonsense 😀

Winner! 🏆

This is the thing... hyperbolic stuff like this. In 5 years he's been pivotal in 2 promotion seasons. Pivotal, no less. Not a flair player, not scoring tons. But defensively very sound, creative when needed. Reliable. One bad game and he turns it round. He's a leader on and off the pitch "5 years of mediocrity" is just plain and simple rubbish

If we turn it on the same way we did vs Huddersfield but are a little more clinical and go ahead in the first half, no reason we can't take 3 points. I do however predict a 2-2. Sainz and Barnes. Barnes to shout "F**K OFF SANTA. F**K OFF XMAS. F**K OFF EVERYONE" and to reveal a Grinch under shirt to the away crowd.

I get the notion of "why change it up" and wanting a winning team to kept going for it I dont get booing a player of our own who has just spent months put with a broken foot. That is tinpot

Amen

Its totally plausible that we will see some different lines ups that tests this out in the coming week with busy schedule. I can't see Kenny as one for taking a rest no matter how badly Gibson wants a game. I do feel that we will likely see the return of Sarge and Barnes as 9 and 10 as soon as is possible. Agree with Sainz and Rowe as wingers. Sara and Nunez CDM Roles.

I think the argument is a little skewed though. The turn of fortunes isn't solely due to midfield improvement. Yes Sara and Nunez are great, this a separate argument though. Our turn of fortune is down to more goals. Its down to better defensive play. Its down to the return of Gunn and dare I say it Barnes. Its even down to Wagners tweaking and often bizarre formation/ starting 11 tombola. Sara and Nunez have played very well for 2/3 consecutive games. Great. During this recent run we've also seen several poor performances in midfield from Fassnacht and Onel but let's pick on Kenny! 2 CDM playing well doesn't mean a player moved successfully to a new role is the problem. I'm fully behind keeping a winning team starting. But I'd also say that we could move Sara forward and put Kenny in his place and things would be great. I'd love to see some stats that show Kenny was in direct blame for any losses in our poor phase.

I wouldn't say it was every game but nobody can deny its a lot of games. He doesn't actually do too much wrong in my eyes, he's just a hugely uninspiring player in style. That's why he gets the hate. Defenders will make mistakes all the time at all the best clubs week in week out. I feel he's a very easy and weak scapegoat and feel bad for him. Would I pick him over (a fit) Hanley or Kenny at the moment? No. Boo him? No.

Seemed a pretty nasty injury and as we can see with others, won't rush them back. He's an absolute player

He's a good player. He has played well in midfield this season in amongst poor team performances of which were not his fault. Kenny moved to CB not because he was poor in midfield, bur because our defence was poor and he's provided a decent option. I feel its actually more of a conundrum of having several good midfielders and that neither Sara or Nunez were versatile enough to do what KM does so it doesn't really matter until he has to play in midfield again and something doesn't work - so maybe then have moan?

Depends if you just dislike someone so badly you can't see current successes. Maybe he won't just slot back into midfield with Sara or Nunez. Maybe we're just seeing him play well and it doesn't matter.

It's pretty odd that you're knocking a guy who's been very successful for us in midfield and now he's being a successful defender. Trophies at midfield Clean sheets and good performances at CB. Maybe there's another agenda?

Briefly for what 7 seasons since you last were?
