2025/26 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Definitely rated by me ...
He's a class above we're used to !
And more to come.

 

[MondayHater]

He’s finding his place in the side. He will be good

 

[kenada_blue]

You’re judging them based on two games when we have multiple players missing. Seems a tad rash.

He's moved Alcaraz out to the right to accommodate him as a 10 since he signed. Then Ndiaye (to put Grealish left who can also play as a 10).

If Myko was fit, Garner would definitely be starting over Tim rather than moving him.

We've more 10s than 8s so just makes sense youd put him as a CM if that was the intention from the off.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Played well I thought

 

[Zatara]

A few of us have said he's an 8 and so i wont point fingers at him - just like I dont when Alcaraz is used out wide.

I have also said i think its a weird signing because he takes alot of the same space Gana plays in as an 8.

Logically we'd play him alongside Gana. But then who is sitting when we sign a 6?

This may sound negative but I think he'll need to displace Gana and Iroegbunam from the 11 soon.

Pickford
Back 4
2 CMs
Dibling / Ndiaye / Grealish
Barry

Thats an extremely attacking front 4 and we'll surely need a balance with the 2 CMs.

For me, Garner + Gana would be my pairing.

Perhaps hes there as the longer term replacement for Gana and Garner moves out for a 6?

Squad game but the fee still seems high to me.

 

[Scrubs02]

What a game he had today ....proper useful energy instead of headless chicken energy

If were going for 2 deeper in the centre and a front 4.

Gana, Garner, KDH, Iroegbunam, Armstrong and apparently a new 6 are the options for 2 positions.

Whats the balance looking like there?

 

[n01efc]

I thought he was a class above in midfield, hardly gave the ball away.

 

[Look to the future]

Had a good game. More to come as well I think.

Thats it really. Balance. Nothing wrong with the quality were bringing in.

Its a squad game of course.

Simplistically if we sign a 6:

6: New 6 / Garner / Armstrong
Destroyer: Gana / Iroegbunam
Link player: KDH

Seems a bit of an odd signing to me still.

 

[millow1878]

Played 3 games there maybe?

While we’ve had loads missing and are waiting to sign players. Long term he’ll be next to gana.

I dont think he will be if were signing a 6.

He’s playing as a #10, he’s not doing his job if he’s never giving the ball away

 

[maccavennie]

He ain't a 10 imo so not sure why he has been played there twice. Looks completely lost in that kind of space.
