Really could have done with him on that flank. Ajer was getting roasted by balls past him for them to run onto and I'm confident Kayode would have dealt with it far better. Fingers crossed he's fit and fresh for the next game.
 

Michael Kayode

The more we don't see him the better he gets...just like Igor ?
I don't understand the point of this.
Why wouldn't people want to see two of our most expensive signings back playing!? (especially ones who've looked good in their short periods on the field for us)

Just come across this is it a load of bulls1it sounds like it.

Just sounds like the opinion of someone in Italy who has no genuine source and put 2 and 2 got together and got 5.

Player not starting immediately = we don’t want to buy him

I can’t believe that the details and numbers were not fully agreed before he arrived with us. It’s nonsense.
 

Michael Kayode

Just like they were saying that KLP wasn’t going to make it and Hull wanted to take him back after the first year. ‘Journalism’ by somebody who has no understanding of how we work, putting 2&2 together and getting the square root of 25 then implying they are in the know to give an air of credibility to their wild theories ?
 

Michael Kayode

I've not seen much of Kayode but from what I have seen. Ajer is better right back imo.
at defending, what we know from kayode, is he is rapid, good in the air and good long throws which we had a lot of. a tired livramento being run at by a fresh kayode would cause problems.
 

Michael Kayode

Can’t imagine he’ll be too happy after tonight and understandably so. Hopefully he’s got patience, as I’m sure the club wouldn’t have loaned him in and got rid of Mads without being fairly sure they wanted him here long term.
 

Michael Kayode

I like the excitement factor of Kayode but struggle to see how people are calling for him to start. Frank likes reliable players that he trusts, whilst there is nothing to say Kayode can’t become one of these, he’s got to prove that beyond the likes of Ajer and VdB currently. I feel people are taking his energy and enthusiasm and taking that to justify a start.

That’s putting aside the fact that Frank sees him every day in training and if he was tearing it up (and defending solidly) he’d likely be getting a run out.

I’ve got nothing against him, I just can’t get my head round how convinced a lot of people seem to be based on what we have seen to date.
 

Michael Kayode

I have confidence the club have already seen enough from him to make a decision on his future. We don't just buy players blind.

I've not seen anything from him yet to say "get him started". Yes some minutes would be good, but if he's been injured and they don't want to risk him, then so be it.

He'll get his time. TF sees him in training, we don't, trust the process.
 

Michael Kayode

don’t get why ajer got the nod ahead of him tbh…

Kayode is coming back from injury, whereas Ajer has been our regular right back for the last few months. Kayode must be patient and earn the right to get on, let alone start.

i didn’t mention starting, we obviously don’t know how serious his injury was, but if he is available to play for 10 minutes and so is ajer… imo attacking wise he brings more.

With Ajer on, it allows us to play 3 at back and push KLP further forward and Schade more central
 

Michael Kayode

Playing CBs at RB has led (directly or indirectly) to us conceding a lot of goals this season. I don't see the harm in playing an actual RB at RB when given the opportunity.
 

Michael Kayode

He's a kid. He's playing the same amount of minutes as pretty much any 20 year old we've ever signed apart from maybe Aaron Hickey.
That's a much better response then you're first one. Which frankly was rude, arrogant and dismissve.
 

Michael Kayode

I'd trust Thomas's judgement on whether to start him but if he's behind Ajer, SvdBerg and Hickey in the pecking order of right backs he's in exactly the same position as Roerslev was. In that scenario it's hard to see the club splurging 16 mill on a fourth choice player. Obviously he's younger than Roerslev and might be seen to have more development potential but I have a feeling this isn't going to be made permanent.
As I've said before, I rate Sepp very highly as a CB but not as a full back, so it's not a great reflection on Kayode's status. I think the fact that he's not even getting a decent amount of minutes off the bench is even more damning.

I am sure that the lad has just come back from a substantial injury, and no one can currently judge where he is, or will be in the pecking order. Clearly I have no knowledge of the terms of his loan transfer, that said, we do not do straight out loans so it may be that we have no choice in the permanency come 30th June.

It was a minor injury keeping him out for a couple of games. Other games he's been an unused sub. There is no obligation to buy. It was reported at the time by the club and the BBC as a loan with option to buy.
 

Michael Kayode

I was disappointed he didn't get game time. There are only 8 games left to play and I can imagine Hickey will be back before these are through. Not sure where that leaves Kayode's loan. Personally I like his style and approach to the game but is he worth whatever he will cost? We can't really tell without game time when it matters.

We can't tell but Thomas sees him every day and will decide on that predominantly

I think it's a shame we don't give young players (or often new signings) more game time sooner but I can't argue with the outcome
 

Michael Kayode

When he was coming on Loan I thought it was just a tactic to get him signed up in summer without letting others get involved
The amount of game time now is not so important unless he’s an absolute ***** in the dressing room
 

Michael Kayode

Strange one when he joined back in January I'd have expected more than 30 mins of playing time in the 5 games he's available for.

I think he'd be second choice after Hickey and that Sepp will be at CB next year and perhaps Ajer could be expendable...

Bottom line is TF is not the best at giving youngsters the chance to break into the first team and get valuable game mins. Playing EP in the middle at the expense of giving MK a chance last night at RB was another example of this. At this point what have we got to lose other than a place or 2 in the league? He's on loan after all to see if we want to buy him!

Thomas’ job is to win football matches, not run a crèche. He’s play youngsters if he thinks they’re the best player in the position with the tactics he’s chosen.

This is such a strange statement given that TF's and the club's reputation of developing youngsters is incredibly strong and the reason why players like Ji, Kayode, Yarmo, and Hickey come to play for us. Mads R developed from the B team and got a national cap while playing for us.

As for what we have to play for, there is 1) money for finishing higher and 2) Europe. There are scenarios where something like 9 clubs get European spots this year.

What have we got to lose?!?!?!? £3mill per place, so a few places higher in the league could pay for Kayode in the summer.

I think it's much more difficult for youngsters to break into a mid table premier league club than it was in any other time in our history.

It looks a huge jump in terms of quality from our B team set up.

Slowly, slowly build fitness levels, strength, confidence etc and we may end up with some real talent i.e YY, Roerslev etc.

I think the coaching team have got it about right so far ?
