No worries

You absolutely were not!

Great skills by MK, makes you wonder why he isn’t playing regularly? But when do you get chance to do those kinds of skills in a game?
He’s obviously a talented lad, and a natural footballer. Confident with the ball, something rare in a defender. Hope we don’t let him go anywhere.
The goal keeper is good though!

 

[Tufts back]

Great skills. But no pressure or opposition.
im sure he will be a great player know

 

[oldgolded]

I don't believe that we would have lost 4-0 last weekend had he been playing. I have noticed that he is prepared to stand up for himself and would not have allowed Woods to bully him the way the defence of last weekend did.

 

[Guzeppi]

Great lad. Very deserving.

A very enjoyable watch, thanks donwolf.

Agreed.

He’s done little wrong when Nuno went to him in desperation, to get dumped when Nuno has his old guard available again. I don’t think he will fit in the Nuno scheme, likely to get sold on IMO, sadly.

You don't, that's why freestylers get nowhere near pro football as a lot of it is absolutely useless in a game scenario. I'd imagine every professional footballer could do the things in this clip, I could do most of them myself.

Kilman not Killman

Max Skillman

That could schtick.

 

[Elvis Wolf]

REALLY HOPE Max is given more game time, before the end of season.
I've ALWAYS been impressed, whenever he's played.
Wish Nuno felt the same.
Don't want to see him moved on, during the next window.
He's well good and deserves more respect AND encouragement.
I agree with the earlier poster, who said that Burnley wouldn't have humiliated us like they did, if Max had been playing.

Too good to be in defence would make a good CDM

Apart from he has the pace of a Austin Allegro

Now that dates you, lol... Depends if he's in a field of Morris Marinas and Vauxhall Vivas or Jags and Ford Grenadas l guess....

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Neves is hardly a 1.0 Ford Focus in terms of speed either

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Great skills Max, and sign the other lad up too lol

 

[oldgolded]

Bobby Moore wasn't quick.

 

[waveney wolf]

Put him up front

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Just ****ing play him!

 

[MotorWoden]

Kilman looks plenty quick enough to me. I dont know where this slow thing has come from.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Kilman looks plenty quick enough to me. I dont know where this slow thing has come from.

Also he looks good in the air to me. And better positionally than any of our current lot. I've seen a very competent defender who looks comfy on the ball who i do not understand why he got dropped.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Bobby Moore wasn't quick.

He also played nearly 60 years ago

 

[Mighty Thor]

Can he teach the donkey how to shoot? Maybe also to pass.

 

[TheConcourse]

Controversial: Wouldn’t lose sleep if he went. Not good enough positionally.

Clearly decent technically and a strong lad, but the answer to our CB pain isn’t in our squad right now.

Take £5-£10m from a Championship club and run.

 

[theweave]

Don't think he lost a tackle when he came on yesterday. I'd have him in over Saiss on current form.

 

[Peszkywolf]

Would he make a decent DM?? Or at least filling in there?

 

[wolvesjoe]

A superb footballer, and great athlete.

Has, imo, been badly treated by Nuno this season, where he should have been the trusted first choice.

Problem is he has been up against Saiss, who offers a goal threat, and a lot of commitment. But he did
well when partnered with Boly in a back 4, and at Utd where Saiss played the sweeper role and Coady
played on the right. Apart from the last minute misjudgement, he played superbly against a good Utd attack.

The stats certainly bear out that he should have played more this year:

With Kilman starting: P12 W4 D4 L4 F9 A8 Pts 16 PPG 1.33

Without Kilman: P22 W7 D5 L10 F24 A38 Pts 26 PPG 1.18

Note the drastic reduction in goals conceded per game.

Kilman very rarely makes a mistake and is dominant in the air. In my view a player who would have made
a material difference to this season.

 

[JOSWolf]

Still perplexed as to why he is being so underused in recent months. He looked very solid when he came on and has hardly made any mistakes when he has played this season.

People argue about his pace. How quick were John Terry, Steve Bruce, Tony Adams and Gary Pallister? Very much hope he isnt a player we move on this summer and hugely regret it. Same with MGW.

 

[JOSWolf]

John Terry, Gary Pallister, Steve Bruce, Steve Bould, Harry Maguire all not quick to be fair. Even John Stones hasnt got real pace or Ruben Dias.

My post was in reply to whoever said play him in centre midfield. I think he'd be an absolute horror show.

Id say in a straight line race Stones and Dias are significantly quicker.

Theres a few issues there for me though.

The players you mentioned were all positionally brilliant and normally played in a back 4. Its hard to judge Kilman as hes played pretty much all his games in a back 5 where he gets more protection.

For me what makes me think he wont make it as a top defender is (and this is also a direct comparison to the players you listed) is that he isnt aggressive enough. He's far too passive (for me) to play in a pair rather than a 3.

Going forward I want us to sign a big dominant aggressive CB to partner Boly whilst the likes of Lonwijk, Sanderson, Marques develop. Id be very disappointed if Kilman is still in the squad next season as it'll mean we havent addressed our issues.

I agree with that. No way Kilman could play in central midfield. Not so sure Kilman is quite as slow as made out but could be wrong.

I've seen house plants with more mobility than the GK. To be fair many of those shots were perfectly placed next to the post so moving for them would be futile.
