kebe gave a good performance yesterday against swansea imo
made a few runs down the wings and made the swansea full backs look pretty poor
came pretty close to scoring on a couple of occasions
was involved in the build up to the 3rd goal and challenged the defender well to allow doyle to score the 2nd

Ian Royal From what I remember of Gilkes he was about tipping it round someone and beating them with pace. Admittedly I never saw him at his best, but that isn't anything like what I've seen of Kebe.

Gilkes rarely fell over the ball or walked it straight into a defender. Equally Gikes rarely skinned 2-3 players using skill and trickery.

IMO Kebe comes close to the control of Little and the pace and crossing of Gilkes. But he is horribly inconsistent and far from the finished article. He also strikes me as a bit lightweight and gangly. Potentially if he gets his consistency, improves his crossing and becomes a bit more grounded he could be a upper prem class player.

I feel he'll be up and down and never quite make it myself. But still early days.


LOL! Stood next to you IR he'd look like the Incredible Hulk!

He was alright at Charlton when we got the ball on the deck.

He was MOTM against Watford (other than Bannister ofc).

He's better at home than away apparently.

If the twats in Y22 Rows R & S around seats 125 ish read this.

For God's sake give it a rest. You sound like a broken record.

"Bring on a real winger" " We are doing all right with 10 men".

One twat in particular just sat and refused to acknowledge Kebe's part in the goals.

Kebe is always at fault even when he fails to control a shoite pass.

I know we all have opinions but these are bordering on the insane/screw loose type of comments.

If you hear a shout of "SHUT THE FECK UP" it will be from me.

same in many areas of the ground

at the wednesday game at half time the bloke i sit near said-your mans having a shocker
and i said watch the game tommorrow morning-kebe played a big part in both the opening goals, he seemed unable to grasp that this had happened
and it was the same this week again,
and if hes not assisting directly his runs cause total panic in the defence, and our strikers capitalise.

these people need to jump on the kebe bandwagon before he finally scores and goes from cult hero to legend.

This all brings back memories of Dean Horrix for me. He arrived in a blaze of glory all set to create a storm, but failed to deliver for quite some time. Then he started to deliver some quality but since he couldn't finish (in that spell) he became a target for the regular boo boys. Anything Horrix did was wrong, even if it meant he'd opened the space for someone else to score. He missed sitters and so the booing built up. Then he missed a penalty (I recall) and the pressure seemed to mount more until a few minutes later he got a goal - and the legend began. From that point on he moved from hate figure to near legend status, and rightly so.

Who knows what might happen if Kebe can break this duck and, maybe, build on it.

I agree with the comments about Kebe's play unhinging defences because they panic when he has the ball. More people need to appreciate this. I think it is probably for the same reason I find watching him so entertaining: you don't know what he's going to do next - it could be brilliant or it could all come apart in his hands, but it's always worth watching.

He may not always be good, but he is always exciting - because, much like Jimmy himself, we have no idea what he's going to do next.

We're always like that. See: Oster, Brooker, Salako. Right wing is our cursed position recently (bar Little ofc) and we feel the need to boo whoever plays there.

'greed, although Bikey still shades it for me Brendy. I'm looking forward to receiving my Jimmy Kebe t-shirt, that way, whenever I'm feeling down, I can just look at his face to cheer me up.
