After all he is the most promising player at a position in which we lack depth. We probably won't see him this camp. He's injured and even if he has recovered Regensburg is in lockdown with covid cases. I don't think he'll be able to go.

PiedPilko Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Looks like he's still injured Very possible we're gonna be without him, VItoria, Henry and of course Cornelius. Miller, James and Sturing seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 It's been 5 weeks to the day since Scott's knee injury. Jahn have removed him from the injury list: https://www.ssv-jahn.de/alle-neuigkeiten/news-im-detail/den-monat-zu-unserem-monat-machen/ They have a B2 match on Sunday and their big Cup match vs Werner Bremen on Wednesday.

PiedPilko Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 He's back, and he played the full 90 today! Didn't see this time, but he was solid apparently. A win would've been great, but Regensburg settled for a draw and remain in the relegation battle. Werder Bremen game is next week, and Nachreiner might be back, so we'll see whether he's stolen that starting spot. dyslexic nam, NVsoccer, Weng and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kennedy Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I haven't had a chance to speak with Scott, but it was a solid showing. He played confidently and he was tested. He had access to his speed. Sofascore - 6.9, Fotmob - 7.2, Whoscored - 6.72. gator, Corazon, An Observer and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "duel" might come to pass. Sargent was suspended for Werder Bremen's B1 match on Sunday and therefore should be well rested for tomorrow. Also Werder Bremen lost one of their other strikers (Niclas Füllkrug) to a broken toe, making it even more likely that Sargent will start. https://www.werder.de/de/aktuell/news/profis/20202021/vorberichte/dfb-pokal/vorbericht-regensburg-06042021/ Edited April 6, 2021 by Olympique_de_Marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster and with better technique on the ball. Kennedy very solid defensively. That Sargent duel has been a real thing! Kennedy often has these very long "over the top" passes when building from the back; sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Around the 20th minute he had a chance from a set piece but either the delivery was a little off or he was a touch too slow and couldn't get on the end of it. Very Canadian weather for this April match; 2°C and just a wee bit of snow in the air.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Tough result for a Jahn side that were generally quite solid. Scott not at fault for the Osako goal. Made Sargent look so bad Werder subbed him out. Unnamed Trialist, PopePouri, dyslexic nam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 First time I’ve ever seen Kennedy - he looked pretty good. He’s a mobile defender which we can definitely use. Obinna, gator and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Kennedy MOTM with a 7.9 according to sofascore. Thought Sargent was dangerous, but pretty immobile with the ball. Regensburg just don't have any real playmaking ability unfortunately. Kennedy makes some strange passing decisions, but he's rock solid defensively. I think he has a lot of upside. johnyb, sebdeserio, toontownman and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I really liked his ability to defend the forwards who tried to hold up play with their back to goal. In such instances he stripped Sargent of the ball more than once. Then, I really liked the timing of some of his tackles. Much has been made of his passing being his weak spot, but based on today I wouldn't say he's necessarily a bad passer, it's just that it doesn't stand out compared to his other attributes, such as his defending and speed. His passing at this level is very average, but that's fine. I like that he doesn't attempt the low percentage pass, which Cornelius and especially Henry tend to do. Kennedy keeps it simple, which I like, and having this sort of traditional center back will be good for Canada. Oh, and I noticed he won most of his headers today, which you always want from your CBs. It's too bad they lost today, but I am was left with a good impression of Kennedy and I think he'll fit in nicely with our team. I certainly think he will give Miller and Cornelius a run for their money at the left center back spot. With a veteran like Vitoria in the other CB spot, I think we are looking more solid here than I expected we would. Very excited to see Kennedy in the next window.

CanadaFan123 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Will be interesting to see who our 4 CBs are in June. Miller and Vitoria seem to be locks but then you have Kennedy, Cornelius, Henry, Sturing and Ferreira fighting for 2 spots. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Even if passing isn’t his strong suit, having mobile backs and a DM like Eustaquio may make the job easier. If he just has to focus on defending and then giving it to someone else nearby who is responsible for distribution then so be it. We may not be a team that plays out of the back at all costs - and I would be okay with that. Edited April 7, 2021 by dyslexic nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1st half I can recall 3 very long "over the top" passes that he made; they almost seemed like keeper "dump and chase" passes. One was brilliant and led to some good offensive play by Regensburg (that sadly fizzled out) but the other two just gave the ball back to Werder. 19 minutes ago, Obinna said: I certainly think he will give Miller and Cornelius a run for their money at the left center back spot.

I really feel we need to see how he gels with the team and want to see him in that left CB spot vs Aruba. Then take it from there.

The long passes over the top are low percentage, but not very risky, which is fine by me. He doesn't try to thread the needle too often, which I have seen from Cornelius and especially Henry. When you complete those passes and break lines, it's great, but when you don't and you're turning over the ball in the middle of the field, it's not so great. 7 minutes ago, Olympique_de_Marseille said: I really feel we need to see how he gels with the team and want to see him in that left CB spot vs Aruba. Then take it from there. I thought the same thing, actually. Get him up to speed in the first match and if he does well he could potentially start against Suriname.
