So, where does this leave Keegan then? He's not good enough to lace Wellens boots

I agree too Neil/Hoola/Filo
Filo you have said tackle against Birmingham in 1 match have you any other examples
FiloIt was the Reading match. It was a quite pathetic chucking in of the cards. In fairness, he wasn't fully fit and Dickov should never have even had him on the bench, never mind chucked him on when we were still on level terms. I agree with both sides here. Wellens is a supremely talented player who can dominate matches. His display at home to QPR last year was a Masterclass. But he is hit and miss. He has often gone missing when we've needed a senior pro to grab the team by the scruff of the neck. If he can play that role this season and galvanise this squad, it'll be as big an achievement as any in his career. Because he's never yet struck me as the sort of player that you'd look to as the one you want at the side of you when you're in the shit. He might put in a sumptuous performance. He might put in an anonymous one. At senior pro level, I'm looking for solid consistency, reliability and setting standards for the kids. I'm yet to see Wellens take on that mantle.
Wellens and Coppinger were head and shoulders above the rest of the team against Crawley. It must be so frustrating for them to play out their twilight years with such inadequate team mates, especially after all the effort they put into getting us in the Championship.
Well done Neil, an honest appraisal of the situation.

Wellens was always gonna get stick after he slated the club post season. Some people dont like hearing the truth about the club, and some of what he said was truth. Wellens on his day, is absolutely class. Filo for you to take the Reading game example from the last season to back up your point is ludicrous. He was one of, if not, the best player last season. And if he hadn't had slated the club post season then i very much doubt you'd be slating his one mistake
Don't think rw is intent on causing any harm to rovers,he obviously was unhappy at certain things and maybe should not have said it in public but it's worked out alright in the end
From what I've been told Kyle has been a better player this season because he has settled down, grown up a bit, and stopped knocking about with certain knobheads.
