I've talked about my love for Kennedy elsehwere, so I shan't repeat it, but I think he's been pretty regular for Scunthorpe this season- his wiki isn't up to date though, so I could well be wrong. I know they're going down, but one left back can't save a team...

I'd rather of had him than Jmac this season, I'd say that for certain.
Not played since February according to Soccerbase

I think Kennedy is now playing at his level and dont regret us getting rid of him.

Seems the Scunny fans arent convinced in him either....

after watching the extended highlights against Yeovil i am now certain the Kennedy is the weak link in the team. he simply cannot defend!

Not sure if the weakest link, however he is inconsistent. The same charge was levied against him at Swindon.

He tore a hamstring in February and will be out for a few weeks yet.

I will agree he was inconsistent at times (although never against 'big' teams), but so was/is Jmac. However, with Kennedy at least when he plays well he's superb. We don't get that with Jmac, just mediocre game after mediocre game after terrible game (I expect someone to correct me with a blinding example of a Jmac performance). Kennedy, last year at least, put in the leg work. Chased down, legged it up the pitch with the ball, linked wonderfully with De Vita, always pressured, always ran, always put a shift in. His crosses were accurate, his passing was accurate, his positional awareness was really fantastic at times. Inconsistent as he is though, L2/L1 is his level. I'm just annoyed we let him go when we only had Jmac to cover left-back. Sure, McCormack has played his part there whilst Jmac has been injured, but he's made too many mistakes in that position over the course of the season.

Didn't we still have Cibbo as cover when we released Kennedy?

I felt his defending was just too weak for a full/wing back and would have been better suited to a wide midfield role.

His crossing was excellent at times but by no means always...I will always remember him trying a long range pass at Yeovil and misskicking it straight to their winger over about 50 yards on the opposite side of the pitch which almost cost us a goal.

You know what, I don't know. Can't remember the timeline of people being released. If there was any forward planning going on, you'd imagine they'd want to keep Kennedy over Cibo. That's what I would have done anyway.

Have I gone into some parallel dimension where Callum Kennedy is a good footballer?

He wasn't great for us. His crossing was good occassionally but generally he was all over the place. With a bit of coaching he could potentially be a decent League One full back but I was never a massive fan, nor were most Scunny fans, nor were Rotherham or Gillingham fans. McEveley is a better player IMO, even with his odd stinker.

I didn't mind Kennedy, but sometimes felt he put more emphasis on looking like a footballer than actually being one.

Kennedy didn't get forward enough or demand the ball. He was often in great positions to push on but was reluctant to do so. Not a big fan of jmac either to he honest.

Nope, I think it's just me who liked him by the looks of things.

Does this headline mean we are definitely getting to Wembley? or is there a 3rd/4th place play-off now?
