Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Sat Oct 26, 2024 3:57 pm

...disgrace off the bench. Did nothing and 2 chances to steal 3 points.

Zero impact off the bench and it became 1 way traffic.

Willock chipped the keeper to an open net with about 4 times too much power, then Miete in and squares to Kanga who looks like he's in the concourse he's that far behind the play.

They aren't helping, even hindering. Our bench is poor.

Bench will improve soon with the players coming back. Ramsey, Etete, Davies.


Great result imo.

Agreed on both points. Any one of those three score one of those 2 chances.

I said the other night our problem is the bench..
Kanga is piss poor..
We need the injured players back.

I don’t think Willock is too bad. Yes he over egged the chip but he’s a good player

Riza is lumbered with the other pair until injuries heal

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

I've said it for weeks, Meite shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. Kanga is a question mark. Riza should put some youngsters on the bench i.e Reindorf. The shit bench players will cost us points.

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Bit harsh on Willock.

I’ll add to that… our bench would be decent if it wasn’t for our stubborn-arse caretaker manager and his lovin for Kanga and Meite. His refusal to play Reindorf is just daft.
Bringing Kanga or Meite on is like going a man down.

Kanga is a question mark? - would be a full stop if I was picking the team!

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Totally agree about reindorf should at least make the bench instead of kanga

We don't see him in training though & he didn't do much at all in the last u21 game but I would at least have him on the bench as an option while we have the injuries.

Haha a full stop and an exclamation mark at how shite he is.

Is it possible to send Kanga back in January or do we have to keep him for the season?

I suppose his parent club might recall him if they get an offer of two bags of sweets from a team in the Cardiff and District League (Division 7)

Small bags obviously.

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:32 pm

Disagree with Willock he is a decent player. Meite adds zero and should be not in squad. Reindorf needs to be on bench

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:16 pm

Not saying we have decent strikers on the bench but all this pressure being put on Reindorf being the answer on one game against a weak Southampton team is a bit concerning.I hope he turns out the answer but the coaches who watch him day in day out obviously don’t at the moment :ayatollah:

Totally agree, I think there is a player there, its ElGhazi that’s keeping him out of the team at the moment, the reason he come on for Colwell is because Ramsey isnt fit yet.

But there is definitely a player in him.

The other two the OP mentioned are a joke, send Kanga back in January if the loan deal permits and replace with an upcoming premier striker, Meite unfortunately I think we are stuck with him.

What about when the ball was squared to Robinson 6 years out and he fecked it?

Easy to point fingers.

Could you have chipped the keeper? Doubt it.

Re: Kanga, Miete & Willock...

Sat Oct 26, 2024 7:43 pm

I actually think Kanga is a fake player, when Meite squared that ball to him today he fckin shit himself.
Please Santa bring us a decent striker.
We might make the play off if he does.

Yeah, why not; with my weaker foot.

Robbo has added more than the 3 combined recently.

Can you post anything decent? Doubt it.

Nice response, I've posted decent stuff on here plenty of times.

I'm not saying Kanga or Meite is worth being on the pitch, they aren't.

Your assessment of Willock is way off, in my opinion. There is a player in there.

As for the initial post, you've missed out how Robinson has consistently missed chances over the past few games, but you point out Kanga.

Why not make it balanced?

I agree about Willock, extremely harsh to criticise him.

He did well to run at Furlong and get him booked, referee should have pulled it back for a free kick really.

With the shot he put over. Yes, the net was empty but it is very difficult to put that on target with a first time finish.

He couldn't take an extra touch because he was being closed down. It was very difficult technique and at least he had a go. A lot of players would have delayed and not even get the shot away.

Even more difficult when he'd just come off the bench.

Thank you Ned, that was my point about Willock.

You've just explained it better.

Make you mind up either did nothing or had two chances to nick the three points can’t have it both ways null and voids what could be a valid point.
Until he has a decent run in the team we can’t judge. Toook over 200 appearances before colwill started to look anywhere like a mid table championship player.

I mirrored your initial tone.

Ok, lets make it balanced. Which game has Willock impressed you. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but he doesn't seem to match (someone like) Tanners effort and intensity when he's started or come on.

Not as bad as Kanga and Miete, who id release tomorrow without seeing any impact to be honest, but yesterday (which was the context), all three came on and we went down several notches of effort.

I am no football expert , but on seeing Kanga he lacks nearly all the skills and attributes to be any help to the bluebirds. Who ever recommended should be sacked. I have not seen Reindorf - but surely he cannot be worse.

It's not working for Kanga and Miete, in spite of his strength and enthusiasm, is not quite up to Championship standard. We need to replace these two with better players - and I think Reindorf [i]is[i] a better player. I've been watching him for a while in the Under 21s and he can be very impressive, capable of scoring goals at that level. But I haven't watched enough of him to know how consistent he is. I watched him score a hat trick recently and they were all good goals. I would give him a try but Riza is more able to judge whether it will work than I am. But he is probably considering it.
