Michael Kayode

[alexinho]

I like how people right off Rico...

Not writing him off at all, just saying he is behind these two from what I've observed so far.

Disagree, but we will find out soon enough.

I don’t think AH offers the same attacking threat as MK or the same unpredictability. So MK or AH at RB might depend on the opposition. AH might start against better teams and MK against teams we want to attack or have an identified defensive weakness on their left for instance?
AH may float across the full back positions dependant on opponent, injuries or rotation needs.

That’s it, really. At the moment, Kayode’s an exciting prospect and we all love to see him charging about like a Duracell bunny but Hickey is the far superior experienced defender and I’m always impressed by his positional discipline. Horses for courses and I’m sure Keith will love using either of them when appropriate. Henry still needs to get a couple of full matches into his legs but reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

 

[kaebess]

I think MK starts at Forest as we will need to pace, especially if we are pressing high

 

[upnorthbee]

At the moment I would say our first choices have got to be Kayode at RB and Hickey at LB.

When did Hickey play LB? I know he’s two footed but Rico and KLP are good players

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Thought he looked much more composed on the ball yesterday with a better thought process. Some player.

 

[brentford born & bred]

Interestingly he has played left back more than any other position.

Played as...
Left-Back	44	1	1
Right-Back	33	-	1
Left Midfield	28	4	1
Right Midfield	7	1	-
Centre-Back	2	-	-

If he does start left back ( and to me it makes sense ) if I was KLP I would be mighty pissed.

Keith has some job on his hands, if all are fit.

KLP hasn't ever done it for us further up the pitch. He needs to concentrate on that as well, given it was his main position previously.

Yesterday for one. Plus those few games between Rico's injury and his own (and he looked great). And at Bologna i believe he was predominantly a LB.

He needs to knuckle down and focus on being an attacker…

You’re joking. Did you see KLP yesterday?

 

[kaebess]

Nope, was out. What did I miss

 

[Gee Bee]

Yesterday

 

[rebus]

Nothing. That’s the point.

 

[upnorthbee]

Yesterday

Woops! Missed that

 

[Homer]

Audible gasps around me when he took his first long throw. Only a few months since I last saw it in action but it really is a marvel.

They’re regularly landing well inside the six yard box. That’s a substantial way longer than the one we scored against Arsenal from just 4 years ago!

Seems to be longer than last season as does MJ's

Cue the jokes

 

[w7 bee]

Think he takes the longest throw i have seen from a Bees player & i've been going +45 yrs.

 

[shepperton bee]

 

[shepperton bee]

Spot the ball ! Never and I mean never have I seen a player get such height on a long throw as Kayode did yesterday! Probably an optical illusion but it looks like it’s above the roof of the stand !!

I wonder how many goals are going to come from them this season? Extremely difficult to deal with for the opposition. I was one of those audible gaspers…

 

[Beecareful]

lateral thought: do any of you think he could play as a seven / right winger?

very difficult to say only watching on tv / streams.

He is playing as a wing-back and ought to continue there. His recovery runs defensively are massive

 

[gbems92]

His throws causes havoc, he was hitting the perfect spot aswell tempting the goalkeeper out and he didn't know whether to come for it or stay

 

[TG51]

Hickey played a season in serie a, as a left wing back scoring 5 goals.

Remember watching him make debut in Scotland, think he was 16 and was great debut playing left back until sold to Italian club

No!!! Think Traore, think Antonio … bull in a china shop and no-one can predict the outcome other than utter chaos

Bargain hunt: the best value signings in the Premier League this summer

Chelsea, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Brentford have spent some smart money in the transfer window

[gashbee]

One v one against Morgan Rogers.
Was absolutely outstanding today.

 

[Twickenhamben]

Him and Dango could cause a few sleepless nights for left backs.

 

[VitaminBee]

One of the best defensive performances I've ever seen. Got his body in front of absolutely everything today.

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

Was superb today much more like it from him was everywhere.

 

[Wayne]

Beast of a defender

 

[Indian Bee]

Absolute beast of a defender and player. My MOM …

 

[Ken_Hom's_Wok]

Oh ho this lad is good

 

[Cobbett]

What an acquisition. So much to like.

 

[Frothybaby]

I kept forgetting about Dango and thought MK was taking them on his own!

 

[beeeehive]

That diving block

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Defensively out of this world. What a phenomenal performance.

'You'll never beat kayode' to the tune of 'you'll never beat Des Walker'

 

[CTBee]

That turn down the line in front of the North Stand was worth the entrance fee alone.

 

[KenCootesNephew]

Fast becoming my current favourite player. He's a joy to watch.

 

[LongLostBee]

That turn down the line in front of the North Stand was worth the entrance fee alone.

Yeah I’m hoping MOTD show that after they finish jizzing over north London for an hour.

 

[1889bee]

£14/15m was it? Incredible business.

 

[Bridge Bee]

Marked Rodgers out of the game.

The one time he got a shooting chance it was a brilliant block.
