Ryan Kent

[jbm26896 995]

Done well 2nd half - still a big player for us.

[Zappa6995 3,645]

Was far better today. 👍

[simplythebest 11,453]

Yeah I think he did well and was unlucky not to score twice 

He’s been a let down at times especially with the price tag since joining permanently but at the same time he’s become a bit of a whipping boy for many 

[Bad Robot 21,148]

great last ditch defending and a great save from their keeper stopped him getting on the scoresheet 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,714]

Far better today and definite passmark. Hes been poor for weeks but today was much more effective. Those criticising are doing so based on pre established judgement and opinions not objectively on today's performance imo.

[Orange Persson 547]

I still think he is a danger man for us. Has it in his game to produce real quality and it can come at any moment.  

[plumbGER 24,518]

The whipping boy done well today in patches, needs to work on finding space and time to get a decent shot away. His burst forward and lay off for Aribo had the quality to kill the game off had Aribo not fluffed it.

He's still a young player learning his way, he'll be fine.

[AlCapone 7,678]

Whether he’s on top form or not he works his balls off for the team and contributes so much on and off the ball. Pivotal to our success

Even if he’s struggling just now ,Not his best run in a Rangers jersey ,Who replaces him ?

I don’t think he needs replaced but the boy Wright looks a player to me and could easily play Kent’s role if called on

[STEPPS BOY 73,888]

I see the boy Leeds signed instead of Kent is being linked with Liverpool.

I wonder if they’ll come in for Kent Again.

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,418]

He deserved a goal for his efforts today.

[SPWF 8,228]

Works his socks off but his end product is fucking laughable. 95% of his shots are straight at the keeper. Hopefully Leeds are still interested in the summer because there must be more effective players out there within our budget.

Who cares he's winning 55 🏆

[Bears r us 30,791]

He is frustrating to watch a lot of the time, but he does have the ability to make things happen, if Aribo had not made a cock up of his chance then we would all have been saying how well Ryan did to set it up.

I think Stevie plays him because he can make runs against teams and make chances for himself and others, do I expect more from him, yes I certainly do, but I not think we have anyone to come into the team that we could be sure would do better, maybe Scott Wright in a few games time might show he can put pressure on Ryan, but it is too early to start him in games at the moment when we are looking for a few more points to win the league.

I wonder if his price tag (in our league) maybe weighs a bit heavy on him at times, he is still young and plenty of time to become more consistent.

He’s stepped up in big games for us and I’ve no doubt he’ll step it up on Thursday. People want him gone but there’s no guarantee a replacement would fill his boots. His price tag hangs over many on here.

Lots of chat in the match thread about him which I really don’t get tbh. He wasn’t excellent today but apart from the Ross County game where we played some great stuff we haven’t been firing on all cylinders for a little while as a team.

He’s a clever player who never hides and if you watch him he’s always looking to drift into areas and he must be a nightmare to mark. I thought he kept popping up in areas and looked to link play and had some really nice touches and combination play with players around him. He’s not in that sparkling form that we know he can produce but it really wasn’t a bad performance today at all from Kent, solid 6/10 for me - nothing spectacular and he’ll be fine going forwards. 

Fantastic player until he gets the ball at the moment. As you say, he never hides and always wants it. He just seems to be completely devoid of confidence. That left footed shot was Sunday league tbh. He’s so much better than that

[King Jela 20,361]

Improved in the second half. Had better get his finger out of he wants to be a starter next season, Wright looks more than willing to steal his place.

I think he like many in his position is very hot and cold, but he has certainly stepped up for us at crucial times.

IF an offer came in that made a huge profit in the summer then it might be worth looking at but at the moment I just hope he will do well for the rest of the season.

He played well today and is capable and definitely has the ability. If he's playing shite there is no one else. We need him playing well to help clinch the title

If we doubled our money then not sure if we’d knock it back but I’d like to see him get a crack at the CL for us as the Premiership can wait for him.

Went right off Kent tbh. I’m really struggling to understand what he brings at the moment. I’m sure Wright could match his work rate because at the moment there’s nothing else there

[Sunglasses Ron 2,459]

If he could get in amongst the goals it would make all the difference - not sure if he can though.

and there’s your problem where you’ve wrote him off before a ball is kicked and if you think he brought nothing today especially the 2nd half then he’ll never be good enough, in your eyes

That's a mental take. 

You would have played Barker in front of Kent too?

(No dig at Wright, but apparently Kent only brings work rate).
