Unlucky or not he has been skinned multiple times and eventually it was going to cost us a goal. Maybe he adapts quickly to a new position but today was one of his worst games for me so far so its not like he's showing significant improvement as a full back as yet. McAteer got dropped after scoring a brace so can't see why he wouldn't get benched (or tried in his natural position) after that 🤷‍♂️

He’s a fullback, most apart from the elite do get skinned in a game. Ricardo got skinned aswell. Doyle is far from the biggest problem in the team.

Eh? His position is CB, but he's being played at fullback.

 

Anyway I didn't say we should send him back to Manchester just that he's looking obviously out of position at left back to me.

No. If you scapegoat him and say he's not good enough you get challenged. Maybe hate wasn't the exact appropriate word, but the point remains the same.

Honestly, I believe people say it as they see it.

There is nothing fans like more than to see "one of their own" do well, and take no pleasure in criticising when they're not.

KDH was rightly lauded when he first got into the first team, he was a breath of fresh air, but he dropped way off of those levels last season and so far this season.

Whether that is through a lack of form and confidence  or whether its because he has become more scrutinised by opposing teams since he done so well when he first came into the team, and they have worked out his weaknesses,  and are playing on them, I don't know.

So you’re calling out (I won’t use the term hate) one player yet defending another, who it seems the majority on here see as worse, because he’s ex academy.

Praet and Casedei would be the preferred option if fit for KDH/Nididi going off todays performances

Sure, but last season everybody and everything went to shit. This season we have won every game bar today and he has contributed to those victories. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 games whilst still getting over borderline PTSD from last season and years of Brendan's anti-football teachings so I don't think it's as bad as some are making out all things considered. 

 

If he puts in the effort under Maresca I'm pretty sure he will be one of the best players in the Championship this season.

I'm more calling out the managerial selection with Doyle at LB as his defensive positioning and ability as a full back has been exposed multiple times. I would actually rather him than Vesty at CB until Coady is back.

You keep mentioning his numbers, he’s had a good 20 minutes against co*, take that out and he’s not looked good for 4 games. 

[Muzzy_no7]

I love him to pieces. He’s a local lad, his work rate is very good and he seems a top bloke too but for heavens sake man..stop strutting around thinking you’re Grealish.

 

I honestly think if he develops his game as an 8, gets more of a right foot and becomes a leader (which I think he can be) then there’s a few England caps in him. I really do think that. 
 

Knuckle down, work on your game and became a fan favourite for this club. 

[Tommy G]

Poor today, no right peg and cannot time a pass to save his life. Developed a greedy streak when it’s better to pass. Bench

One that really ticked me off was when he could've rolled it on a plate to stephy and he chose to have a shot instead. I really like the lad but maybe he needs a spell on the bench to bring him back to reality.

If you say so, I don't think he's been that bad. He also got us the assist for the win against Huddersfield. So that's 2 games he's won us. 

[Guest Mee-9]

Out for Casadei please.

He always puts in the effort, that can never be questioned with KDH.

He also always brings energy to the team, which is a good thing, but 25 mins apart against Cov, he's been lacking in quality, creativity and composure.

All of which are vital in the position that he is being asked to play.

Again, I don't know if that is confidence, or genuine lack of ability, but he needs to improve, to be worthwhile in that position.

They all need to improve, we're a team full of relegated players and cheap replacements for better players so far so I'm not arguing that. Just that as I see it KDH is the least of our worries, not someone who should be singled out.

[Ed 1]

I think Braybrooke and Alves may buck the trend, but I do feel like our recent academy products (KDH, Barnes, Hamza, Thomas) don’t look comfortable with ball at feet. 

[Tielemans63]

After the first game he talked about wanting to be the best player in the division. Whilst I admire that confidence, right now he needs to focus on the basics and being the most effective player in our midfield.

[Lako42]

Been very poor so far this season and should have gone off today imo

[Haywood_6]

Since his two goals against Coventry his shooting has been atrocious. Couldn't hit a cows backside with a banjo

[Mike Oxlong]

I’d have to practice for hours and hours to be as bad at shooting as KDH was today 

[Tielemans63]

Admittedly it's a low bar, but as poor as KDH was today, he was better than Ndidi. I honestly thought Wilf's performance today was absolutely pathetic. I get that he's not comfortable in that position, but that's actually nothing to do with how sloppy and lethargic he was.

I feel like Praet could still play a big role in promotion if Enzo has him in his plans. Just my opinion but I think Praet would suit the role KDH is playing really well and he's very comfortable with both feet. Can't come back from Injury fast enough imo. 

[Dan LCFC]

Become very overrated by fans of other teams more than our own to be honest I'm assuming largely based on his season for Luton. Him and Ndidi in these positions really aren't clicking. You need more natural creators.

This really needs to stop.

 

Stop classing criticism for a footballer as 'hate'. No-one is giving him abuse in the street, people aren't outside his house giving him grief, he's getting negative criticism on an internet forum ffs.

It's pathetic, this place is full of this kind of crap nowadays but that's just modern society in general I think. People who act like it's some sort of crime to criticise anything on quite literally a football forum. Wish we had a mute feature for such drivel.

[CrazyKopCorner]

I think we all want him to succeed but his performances after Cov have been sub par 

 

His pass selection, accuracy and shooting are extremely poor. 

 

Waiting for a period of sustained good play from him which doesn't appear to be turning up. 

 

I'd think of replacing him for the next few games at least.
