Jimmy Kebe

[PedalR]

Heard a snippet of a report from Talksport last night midway through first half of Cardiff/Reading when Fakers were apparently running riot. Reporter said that Jimmy Kebe was ragging the Cardiff left-back at will and causing mayhem. I dunno much about Kebe but it sort of made me wince at the thought of him carrying on like that against Clint Hill this Friday. I do love Clint but I've never really thought of him as a bona-fide full-back.... hopefully he'll have enough experience and belligerance in him to neuter this Kebe fellah though (or just rake his achilles in the 3rd minute....).

no worries, we haven't had major problems this season so why would we have it against Reading?

[Shania]

Well, eh. Yes. I know what you mean! I "adore" Clint Hill, but I really hope he will look at the ball and not Jimmy Kebe´s feet, if he doesn´t, things can get nasty for poor Clint(and us) I´m afraid..

Hence, relying on his experience will be the keyword for Clint on this afternoon as well!!

on the flip side.. we have routledge on the right for them to worry about, thats not mentioning taarabt, miller/hulse, smith(if he plays)

they have decent players but so do we.

In fairness to Hill (who i think has done well this season) he rarely gets majorly caught out. Imo he has been better than Orr who looks shakey..

Anyway onto Kebe, i mentioned in another thread he was there main danger man, Shane Long is in good form but for the entire game at Loftus Road this season (bar his wonder strike) our defence had him in there pocket...

Kebe has pace to burn, and a great eye for goal. Head and shoulders is there best player by a mile..

If we go up I'd love us to sign Kebe as he's different. There aren't many players like him.

Keep him quiet and we potentially have a good night on our hands.

He had problems with Snodgrass, but he ain't the only one there!

[W12hoops]

If Neil think hill is uncapable of kebe's pace and quality he'll probably start with chimbonda....

[Ric-Roc]

To be fair last night Kebe was up against Lee Naylor who Cardiff fans absolutely hate as he gets ripped apart every week at left back. I expect Clint Hill to do sufficiently better against the same man.

[Youvebeenrangered]

He had problems with Snodgrass, but he ain't the only one there!

Yeah he did to be fair, never done much wrong though, saved our arses on a few occasions... Donny at home springs to mind...

Then again he has given away a couple of pens, but more often than not i feel he is very solid at this level...

No pace, but positionally reads the game well imo..

You obviously werent at Pompey....or Leeds...

Utaka and Snodgrass ran our backline ragged.

Kebe's rarely good and won't like it when clint goes in hard. Mcanuff scares me more. Better player altogether.

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Hill did okay last night, it was Orr who struggled and looked well below standard. He couldn't control, pass or clear the ball at all. With Chimbonda and Danny available we could quite easily replace them both. Play Conners at RB, DS and KK in the middle and Chimbonda at LB. So no real problems (at last!)

One of our bogey players in the past.
But we are a better team now...

[qprfc1989]

Kebe missed the game at Loftus Road whilst McAnuff's pace was nullifed by Walker. That and we have NO luck with officials whenever we go to the Madejski, and, of course, we're on Sky!

Not sure it'll be quite the same game this time...
