Broxi 11,514 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I just don't get excited when he's on the ball, I just feel like he's never going to do anything JukeBoxJohn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 His delivery from corners is excellent but from open play he really offers nothing going forward. He seems to run in to defenders and tonight was tripping over the ball during the first half. I appreciate that he puts in a solid defensive shift but we need a guy who can create and score goals from that wide area. I live in hope that we get a bit of quality on loan from the EPL before the window shuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevotrueblue 382 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Couldn't agree more with the OP. He works hard (cant fault him there) ,, has the pace and is direct but lacks the situational awareness or skill to provide anything meaningful to his end game. At times just runs aroon like a headless chicken. I know its early but cant see him being a big player for us tbh. Its probably that old thing the Manager brought him in and as one of his own ,, is maybe more wanting him to do well rather than admit he aint. Middleton in what I have seen so far ,, seems a lot more dangerous and gets the ball into the box far quicker than Kent. Something that could well pay off this season now with a big target man like Lafferty in that box. I was actually screaming at the screen before the second half even started to either bring on Middleton or even Lafferty down than left instead of him. Time will tell I guess,,, but in the OF I think I would rather play Lafferty down the left to start with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsa 3,906 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Apparently he can take corners/free kicks with either foot? Strange he has that in his locker as he doesn't look like scoring at all from distance. That being said he's a decent option in my opinion, good pace and energy. Could be wrong but I think he'll keep improving with games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,946 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Need to replace Murphy badly with a new signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Not convinced by him at all tbh. Often struggles to beat his man and his delivery is poor. Don't want to write the lad off this early in the season but the early signs aren't too promising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the exact same from Kent as you get from Middleton then you just play Kent on the right hand side as he is predominantly right footed and he can run to the byline and put crosses in, with him playing on the left he wants to cut inside and play on his stronger foot that can be an advantage at times as it creates space out wide but when you have a right footed left back like Flanno you don't see the benefit of it.

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I know it won't be this window but I think we still need a number 10 someone who is more creative than we have at this present time. And we definitely need two wingers as and I include Jamie Murphy in this I do not think our wide men are good enough or consistent enough that's just my opinion and I think if we go with what we have for the rest of the season we might struggle.

bluenose48 951 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Talented young player, has got some pace and a few tricks. But really lacks confidence when he gets into a shooting position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,599 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I don't think he is that great but had a decent game last night. Would have liked to have seen him move to the right and Candeias come off for Middleton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,403 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Kent isn’t good enough but has gotten lucky with Murphy’s injury now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The fact he wants to cut inside on to his right all the time makes me wonder if we'd be better trying him on the right wing. I wouldn't mind seeing that with Middleton getting a full game on the left side. Candeias was brutal last night so wouldn't be too bothered about dropping him to allow this.

TopCat 4,511 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Frustrating player imo.Has the speed and energy to hurt teams but rarely produces an end result that leads to a goal or even an attempt at goal. He might improve with more game time but for now I'm not entirely convinced he's good enough for Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
