WHEN WILL CITY PLAY THE PRINCE OF PERSIA?

[Manwell Pablo]

I've had enough. Talking Balls can't be this annoying.

Are you jumping ship?

Get James and Alex we'll all go together, It'll be like when Benoit and Guerro just magically turned up on WWF one week, took the world by storm.

I want to be Perry Saturn.

Done.

[Manwell Pablo]

Done.

I'll see you on the other side.

I'm sure Ashley Chambers will feel great about that!

And if what you say is true I would love to hear the manager's justification for it because he's watched Kaebi play the same matches I have.

Now look what you have done Thrac If I was you I would follow them over there and once your in, PM me and we`ll go and join the debate together like one big happy family!

at Chambers now back en vogue after a couple of good games BTW! I haven't heard you mention him in months. Also I don't get why you are so anti-Kaebi??! You watch him a few times in the reserves and think he is shite but others have watched him in competitive games and you dismiss it!

Lets just sit back and watch the lad a few times in the first team and take it from there?

I am not in the least anti-Kaebi. If you go back far enough you can read some very positive posts from me on the bloke.

My stance could be about anyone.

We have a biggish squad. Every one of them wants a place in the first team and all should be considered fairly and on their merits.

Why then should a player in such poor form, like Kaebi, get the nod ahead of others who are doing well?

Kaebi has done his struggling at right back/right midfield. No-one has seriously questioned the fact.

Now the talk is of him playing central midfield.

Fine. If he's really a central midfield player let him demonstrate it in the reserves rather than risk him sight unseen in the first team.

Porter played that role against Stoke reserves and did pretty well on a night when Kaebi was indifferent in right midfield. Newton too played there and scored two goals fairly recently.

So what justification would there be in preferring Kaebi in that position?

Had the situation been reversed I would happily have been championing Kaebi.

Because I really do believe in judging all people on their merits.

And in football form changes.

Fryatt last season is not the same as Fryatt this season.

Chambers last season not the same as Chambers this.

Kaebi started well then faltered.

That's the truth. And the people in form should get in the team.

That doesn't mean no-one should be allowed a bad game either.

I've already mentioned the 7/10 principle.

But Kaebi's been out of touch for a while now.

[Geo V]

WOW that is an amazing use of sentences and spaces.

I must admit I only like Kaebi because I came home late one night, a little blurry eyed and saw what I thought was that we had signed "Kebab". That in turn reminded me of Cyprus which always puts me in a good mood. Now that I have worked out we didn't sign a kebab, I want him loaned out to Lincoln.

Whatever. If he's picked Saturday hope he hits top form. It won't alter the truth of anything I've said but I would certainly only ever wish him the best.

You'd be worse than benitez for bloody rotating.

Perhaps Kaebi has looked quality there in training in the past couple of weeks? Training does count towards whether a manager will pick a player or not, not just reserve games. Perhaps, just perhaps, Kaebi has been moved from right back (where he's never been very reliable from what I gather) and moved in to a more attacking role where he has players around him to cover him when he breaks forward and he's looked the player his reputation has him down to be.

That might be the reason why if Kaebi does get a chance this Saturday.

Thrac wishing Kaebi the best....(Apologies for the lack of art work)

That's not how it worked in practice. At the last but one club I managed I made less than a dozen changes in two seasons.

And then only for injury.

I agree about training and as the match is getting close I would only be interested in backing the guy whatever, if he plays.

If it all goes wrong for him I won't get any pleasure from the fact at all.

I've explained my feelings and the reasons for them.

But I'll be 100% hoping he plays well and he'll be praised if he does.

Stick another pin in that voodoo doll Thrac

[Fox in a Box]

The manager will pick him when he is good enough too play for the team, until then any player who isn't good enough only makes the team weaker.
