Why Sidwell instead of Kayal?

[kevo]

The Stephens and Kayal midfield partnership was the key to our success last season. We need Kayak to unlock teams like Ipswich. He was our player of the season last year. I just don't understand why he's not playing.

He's not sharp.

Sidwell was immense vs Burton had to keep his place

Because he's coming back from a long injury and is yet to play a full 90, reserves or otherwise. Compared to Sidders who has and has played very well throughout.

If you want to look at midfield weaknesses tonight then Stephens is worth a glance. Caught in possession more than once.

Of the four across midfield, Sidwell was comfortably our best player tonight. He was immense against Burton too. Knockaert had another poor game, and got too much wrong, starting with that weak, poorly directed effort in the first half. Stephens didn't just get caught in possession, he made a number of misplaced passes. Those two were the primary culprits behind our slow start and poor display tonight.

This. Kayak is off the pace, Sid well was immense against Burton.

Was the right pick tonight. Kayel is rusty.

 

[atomised]

Right choice. Kayal was poor on Saturday when he came on

Not fit enough yet and Sidwell has been playing well and did so again tonight.

Sidwell was our best player tonight

Sidwell was my MOM tonight

yes could have got MOTM though thought Bruno had a great game. To me it was wrong substitution Ak should have gone off rather than Solly who was looking good.

 

[London Irish]

Well our play was hopelessly scrappy and direct tonight. Long ball after long ball that played into the hands of a McCarthy team.

Think getting Kayal back into the team now might be key to finishing top 2

He's not sharp.

This. Sidwell was a lot better than Stephens tonight imo

Another one here who thought Sidwell was our best player on the night. Stephens was woeful though.

Another thing I didn't understand. Knocky was having a shocker. Mind you, Murphy when he came on was completely ineffective as ever. How much better would it be to have kept Kaz and have him on the bench?

Anyone doubting Sidwell is a dribbling throbber.

When Murphy runs into the box he looked dangerous but his crossing was poor. He should have come on for AK and march stay on.

Murphy ineffective? You must have watched a different game - I thought he played very well once he came on.

Stephens the weak link tonight without a doubt, caught in possession countless times and stray passes
