Kieffer Moore…

[LBA_Blade]

He was clearly knackered too, after his international games. Needs to be rested a bit more.

Doesn’t help playing on a Friday night either to be fair but least we can sit back tomorrow and the players have a bit longer to rest up.

 

[BladeInIreland]

No need to be over dramatic and say he's a terrible footballer l, he's a proven player at this level.

Also no need to pretend he's doing better than he is. His performances have ranged from meh to poor. I have been very disappointed with him tbh as I expected much more. If we had more options he would certainly be getting out on the bench. It's not over yet though and hopefully he improves a lot.

Mixed bag

Doesn't suit the players around him. Has to adapt to them and not waste chances to give them the ball

Different era, different club and different role but bear with me on this one. How many “meh” performances did Roy Keane put in for Man United granted he wasn’t a striker but his role was there to break up play (sometimes break a leg) and setup the next phase but Keane is deemed as a Man United legend for literally running around smashing into people and passing the ball. I wouldn’t say Moore is a 10/10 player but far from meh to poor 2-4/10 probably more like 6-7/10 but he is putting in a shift and it’s good to see players in a blades shirt that actually give a shit about the club

 

[knowsnowt]

In a decent team he bags 25+ a season.
There. I've made my ridiculous post for the night now too.
Fucking hell.

…is not good enough. Simple. I’d like to see Louie Marsh in his place next game

We want to gradually introduce Marsh into the first team set up. It's a different world at that level. Moore isn't Harry Kane but he's a decent leader of the line.

 

[Frank the tank]

Oddly enough, Burke would have had enough time to break through, complete a sudoku and then score in the time it took Moore to be five yards past the last defender and never get an attempt on goal

He might have had enough time

 

[cahill]

So a proven striker who’s been in the game years isn’t good enough.. but a young lad who’s had a brief stint in league two will be? Make it make sense mate.

…is not good enough. Simple. I’d like to see Louie Marsh in his place next game

not sure I agree mate. Should have done better once or twice but his overall game is good to watch.. Busted a gut for the second goal. We’ve now won three out of five and remain unbeaten and he’s a part of that. Can’t see Louie Marsh at that level yet.

 

[dazzlingblade]

credit where it’s due, he did actually do well to hold off their player and set up an attack for our second. But his forward runs, decision making and this “Ronaldo chop” bollocks when one on one with the keeper needs to stop. It doesn’t suit him and makes me very frustrated. I hope he does do well and proves me wrong but at the moment I’d still give Marsh a run out. Where never going to know until we try

Marsh isn't even league 1 level.yet, he may well end up a world beater, but the kid is a million miles off first team football at the moment

To be fair to him he bagged 25 in 64 appearances for Cardiff when he played for them. If he gained that form we would be laughing

 

[cahill]

Idiot

Well said.

 

[Stretch]

Although we are doing well, we still haven't properly clicked as an attacking unit. We look fantastic until we get into the penalty area, but most players then seem to have a brainfart and can't decide what to do. Hamer is the rare exception at the moment and Moore isn't the only one who needs to do better in those situations.

2 very satisfying goals tonight though, where the right decisions were made.

I'm not one of those who thinks if a striker doesn't score 20 goals a season he can't contribute but I just don't see it with Moore so far. Very ineffective imo, I thought it may be more to do with everyone getting used to eachother and the system and maybe it is but tonight he was through on the keeper and it didn't even make the highlights reel because he turned it into nothing.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

His hold up play is delicious. Never stops running. Snatching at chances, trying too hard IMO.

It will come good with the goals, his CV at this level is top notch.

He also turned a nothing ball into our 2nd goal, after he had sprinted 40 yards to get there

It was posted further up and I have to agree with the amount of minutes. He played 3 times in a week including an away trip. He scored for Wales he can easily do it at this level. Right to have your opinion and I don’t think he will reach double figures but he is working hard off the ball and we are undefeated in the league still. Defence has calmed down a bit now so the odd chance created could easily be enough to nick a win

Just watched it again as I didn't recall it being a nothing ball and after watching it again I don't see how it could be described as such. He obviously did well there strength wise but if his biggest highlight of the night is out muscling someone in the build up to a goal it's hardly a testament to his ability. He was generally poor tonight and he has certainly been better for other clubs than he has for us so far so there is hope.

Don't agree most of our good work tonight went through him, laying it off, yes his finishing has been poor so far, but I can't see how anyone can criticise the rest of his game up until now

That's the thing, I agree there is many possible reasons he hasn't been up to it. He is certainly good at this level, just hasn't shown it for us yet imo.

Fuck me, some of our fans have a pathological need for a scapegoat don’t they. But I suppose all clubs have a percentage of wankers following them.

I thought the rest of his game was better than tonight's showing in previous games. I thought he struggled in general.

Burke would have run out of the stadium and be at junction 37 on the M62.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Moore is a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 every game.

He should have took a shot when he was clean through in the first half but he did well in the build up to the second goal.

 

[Blade58]

Wasn’t his best game and he will play better

The only thing that frustrated me with his play was his decision making. He chose the wrong pass too often.

Redeemed himself with his pass that contributed to McCulloms goal though so well done

 

[ZLB]

…is not good enough. Simple. I’d like to see Louie Marsh in his place next game

Well I like him.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Moore will score goals in this team. He actually played well tonight and was instrumental in the 2nd goal. He's also playing that McBurnie role brilliantly at defensive corners. How many corners did they have tonight? Defended the box brilliantly and Moore was a big part of that.

Complete a sudoku?
