Royalee Having 2 good games in 7 starts does not warrant a first team place in any decent side.
Ian Royal Kebe didn't play against Swansea or Sheffield Utd and didn't start against Peterborough or Cardiff.
Both Sheffield and Peterborough we appear to have lost because we were taken apart on the wings because we played with no width.
You could make a reasonable arguement that had Kebe started we would have had width and so that wouldn't have happened. We certainly played our best stuff in the second half against Peterborough when he came on. In fact with a slightly better header he'd have won us a draw.
So Kebe has been envolved in winning us 9 of our 10 points, and the three games we've started against him, weve lost three and managed a 0-0 draw against a team who couldn't score to save their lives at the time.
A compelling argument from Royalee to drop him there.
Barnsley: our best 90 minute performance so far.
Preston: our best first half performance so far.
Peterborough was nothing special.
Ian Royal Peterborough was nothing special. We marginally outplayed a piss poor team in the first half and got two goals through excellent set pieces.
Preston we completely outplayed one of the best teams in the division first half and got two goals from open play.
When Kebe came on he was playing as a striker essentially, not as a winger we certainly weren't playing the normal 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2. Had we had width from the start we wouldn't have conceeded the two goals that took Peterborough back into the game.
You are completely biased against the man. You simply cannot drop the engineer of 6 of our 10 points. He has not lost us any games. He simply hasn't done enough in some to get us winning or back to level terms.

We dominated Pboro first half up there. Preston were all over us second half btw...
When Kebe came on he was not playing as a striker at Pboro although it was a very amusing way of trying to bail him out of jail yet again by someone who is completely biased towards him. He's lost us games through switching off and allowing opponents to proceed unchallenged and also by wasting all our attacking play 135 minutes aside this season when he's featured. 1 and a half good games in a season don't excuse him the rest and he is often a passenger in our team which is costing us defensively as well as attacking-wise.
Ryn Face it - so far, on evidence displayed this season, Kebe is the only player in our team capable of creating a goal in open play.
Fact.

Kebe's lost us those games singlehandedly has he? If he has then he's a bigger influence on this team than we give him credit for.

Royalee Without him we may have won more games - we're stronger as a unit without him.

Absolute nonsense I'm afraid - we played the best football at Pboro in the first half and when Kebe was on the winner came from down his side which makes a mockery of your defensive argument. We played exceptionally well against Cardiff and even the most biased view couldn't dispute that we deserved at least a point if not three from that game.
I agree with you that we need to play with wingers and McAnuff has been excellent since coming in, but although Kebe is a winger, he's not the answer as he's not consistent enough. I'd much rather Robson-Kanu or Davies was given a run of games down the right where both are comfortable playing at the expense of Kebe - we'd actually see some consistency in end product then as opposed to twice in seven starts.
Terminal Boardom From what I have seen this season, none of our players have been particularly good defensively.
