Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
Good move for Kennedy...
Great move for Loan Watch!
Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
Disappointed with this one. Was looking forward to him having a go this year.

Me too, I thought he looked really promising in the Portsmouth game
Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
Can't understand this one, I thought he looked decent
Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
I think this is a good move for Matty. He's promising but still a little too lightweight and Warnock needs players who can contribute at the level needed right now. Hopefully he comes back able to do just that :-)

That was my thoughts till he played a couple of games for us in the cup . He didn't set the world alight and it may be the case he can't quite play at this level and league one or two is his level ?
He is only out on loan so there is still time for him but the clock is ticking .
Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
Is he still under contract next season?

Thought he was good against Portsmouth and poor against Burton - I can understand the decision to loan him out and if I had to guess, I reckon he'll leave permanently next summer when his contract runs out.
Re: Kennedy to Portsmouth - Loan
He needs regular football if he's going to develop, he's not likely to get it here

It's all about opinions but I saw nothing in Kennedy's play in the two Carabao Cup matches to suggest he's real competition for NML or Hoilett for this season, or even as a capable deputy. He's capable but not good enough IMO if we're serious about mounting an assault on the promotion spots this season. Next season he'll have gained more experience and the presence to alter games I hope.

Indeed he is . With Portsmouth in league one .
He did well enough with Plymouth league two last year .

I agree with that comment as far as being a starting eleven player, but a deputy? who else do we have that looks a better prospect?
Harris & Ralls both looked useless at first. A few games in they started to take shape and now look at them. I think cameo's from the bench would've really brought Kennedy into the light but that's just my humble opinion ofcourse.

I think this is the key point for Matty. He needs to gain confidence in his ability to be able to influence a game at the higher levels. If he can learn how to boss defenders in League One then hopefully he'll come back for the Summer on a high and ready to stake a claim in our first team squad. You need pace, skill and strength to play Championship level now. I think Matty has the required skill but is not quite quick enough or strong enough yet. One more year should hopefully do it...

I don't think you've been to the city games I have when he has played in the championship then. He's looked more than capable and full of confidence/class from the first game he came on for us.
Another case of agreeing to disagree is in order here!

Absolutely. He needs game time and he's a good player in the making.
The only down side is he's a little bit slow and lightweight so wonder if he can slot in at a more central role, Ramsey-esq.
I do feel he's a good passer and play maker so you never know
