The Kevin Long phenomena

Post by ablueclaret » Sun Apr 16, 2017 3:34 pm

Has there ever been a player who has stayed at a club longer and played less?

8 years. 22 matches. Not quite 3 a season, and he's a good player.

Let me guess - he should play as a holding midfielder? :roll:

I might have to employ you Rowls but here are one or two for you.

Would Thatcher have been Trumps ideal side-kick?
Could Trump take over from SD?
should the Board invite Mrs May for lunch?

From watching his 22 games what tells you he is a good player?

We've only had a single Kevin Long phenomenon when the thread title promised more than one. I feel short changed.

Steady. Hope the o/p realises that there are a number on here that think Kevin Long is one for the future. Seriously.

Sadly, it was only 20 minutes. Came on for Shackell after 17 minutes and was injured on 37 minutes and replaced by Stephen Reid who was our 3rd sub on the day

Ah yes, sorry my mistake. I'd forgotten that he came off injured.

It was a real shame because he was playing well and then he was out with that injury unti he went on loan to Barnsley. That was a brilliant result that day coming back from 2-1 down to get the draw, having used all subs in the first half.

There must be something about him cos different managers keep giving him a contract. He also stars whenever he goes out on loan.

Seen Kevin play a few times, certainly a decent player who must sometimes regret not moving on.
