archiecat Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 His goals against ratio to games played in the last calender year was the second best of all League 1 keepers, just goes to show how some see the game differently, he makes mistakes show me a keeper who doesnt but take away the games Kenny played this season and we have one of the best defensive records in the league. It baffles me what some fans expect when we pay players peanuts. Totally agree with you this time,can only wish the lad well for the future .

b0ndl1ne Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It seems we analyse things far too much. Simply, with Rachubka in net we are a better team irrespective of who is the higher rated individual. It's the same in the case of Connor Browm, logic or no logic we get better results with him in the team. Then you look at our record with Daniel Johnson who everyone considered to be a major improvement and it was terrible. He's also been on the losing side on his debut with Preston. We try to play football manager and forget its a team game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_latics Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 His league career for us: Played: 32 Won: 11 Lost: 5 Conceded: 33 Clean Sheets: 10 Yeah, he's not Neuer, but he's done well for us. We've only lost 5 games when he's played for god's sake! Solid, good pro, great organiser. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's a shame he's gone. I wasn't there on Saturday ('enjoying' watching Palace struggle to break down Everton) but by all accounts Kean had a good game - we said the same thing about Kenny after Rochdale. If Kean struggles or gets injured we could be a bit up the creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Strange decision. He's been part of a team that we know can get results. I'd be amazed if we got anyone better in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 He's right up there with the worst keepers I've ever seen play for us. He's mediocre at best, but he's much better than a lot of keepers we've had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Never felt truly confident in him but the defence seemed to enjoy having him playing and you can't knock that win record. Maybe there was more to what happened in the summer than we know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 He's been very poor this season. He's lost us a lot of points and the manager clearly feels the same. Absolutely no ill feelings, though. Thanks for last season and good luck in your future, whether that be playing or coaching, Paul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Disappointed to see him go. He would have been an excellent number two. He let in too many from long range for me but we will struggle to find a better alternative for emergencies. That said, at his age you can't blame him for wanting to make the most of what's left of his career so good luck to him in finding a new club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was getting to the point where he was being praised for average saves, bar Fleetwood I can't remember a decent performance. I attribute our poor for to the absence of Liam Kelly, he's our most important player by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Size Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Decent keeper, our form turned last season when he got his turn, as it did this season when he got back in after Kenny. Hopefully we won't regret this, our current keepers now have just one appearance between them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehobbit Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Good keeper and did well for us. Made a mistake v Crawly we brought Kenny in and since i think Chubbs has looked a bit shaky at times. More a confidence thing than anything I think. For some reason Johnson hasn't rated him a for a bit now. Sure he will find another club.

Bristolatic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Some folk really need to give their head a wobble if they think Chubs is one of the worst we've had or is mediocre at best. He's not the best we've ever had, but he's a good, solid keeper who makes the odd mistake and probably the best we've had since Pogliacomi. As for punching one in the net at Gillingham, someone knows feck all about goalkeeping. He'll no doubt find another club; probably in League 1 and have a blinder against us before the season's out. Good luck, Paul. Thanks for the 13 clean sheets and the unbeaten run we had to keep us up last season. That wasn't coincidence. Oh well, that's one boo boy out of the club. Who do you pick on next? There's bound to be one. Edited February 2, 2015 by Bristolatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's bound to be one. Philiskirk. Haven't you got the memo yet? Although, Brown is only one minor error from getting this spot back and George nearly got nominated, bloody hard work keeping up with which player in blue I'm supposed to be booing these days.

Forte_Baby Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Once Kean came writing was on the wall clearly he proberly also feels he can play on elsewhere rather than sit on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 He might have asked for it if he rightly saw his arse at being a stop gap all the timeI think there is an element of this about it. Paul could see that Kean will be likely first choice for the rest of the season. He thinks he will be better off getting a new club, on a free, and playing regularly for them than sitting on our bench. There may also be some minutiae in his contract that has affected this decision. He wasn't the worse GK we've had, and he wasn't the best. I do think this could be a deal that is being done to suit both parties, as I would imagine he is on a good wage for someone who will in all likelihood be a back-up GK for a League 1 side.

josh_latics Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 How thin is the squad now? LJ's shifted a lot of wages this month, must be some serious cost cutting to avoid sales. Out: Kenny, Jabo, Tidser, Dayton, Rachubka, Johnson In: Brown, Mellis, Kean. To my mind we now have 2 GKs, and 18 senior outfield players (inc Mellor, Locky, Turner who have barely played) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
