Obsession with quick long punts up field from Kenny.....

[BennyBoyRs]

Disagree with you there mate (unusually). Cerny always played out from the back (maybe too much) but Kenny is lumping every single ball forward. I can honestly say that I can't remember seeing Kenny throw out a clearance. I'm not blaming him because as Hammersmith rightly says that must be the order but surely we need to vary just occasionally. In Walker and Connolly we have two defenders who can play it out from the back and last season Faurlin would drop deep to pick up the ball. I'm not a complete purist and if route one were working then fine, but it clearly isn't. Of course I respect Warnock's greater knowledge but I would be interested to hear him explain why it makes sense to have plenty of talented ball players but to bypass them whenever possible...

With all due respect to Cerny, as I'm a big fan of his, he was a terrible distributor of the ball. He rarely hit one of ours players when kicking long, so I guess he chose to play it to the fullbacks for that reason.

When you have a 'keeper who can launch it, then that's what they tend to do. Kenny has great distribution IMO.

That's not to say I don't think he should mix it up a bit.

Given your last sentence I think we are in agreement.
