Agreed Carlos wasn't the best today, but to be honest I'm more worried about Kenny. Might be hidden by the goal that he scored (which was absolute class), but his defensive "work" down the right really puts us under pressure IMO. He either goes missing too often, or if he is there gets strolled straight past. Not just this game either.

I admit that I don't keep a close eye on Kenny, but my general impression is that he works hard and gets around the field. I know there was one instance [at least] in the CCM game where someone waltzed past him but I don't get the overall impression this is an issue with him.

Yeah it's interesting how people can see things differently. I had a guy behind me in the second half moaning about how rubbish #5 had been all game (he never worked out Boxall's name), whereas I thought he was not too bad.

P.S. Not faulting Kenny's lack of effort, he definitely get's around the park, and adds a bit offensively - I just get the impression that he leaves us exposed defensively quite a bit by being out of position, or not tackling effectively. Sometimes when something like that sticks out for you you start to look for it though, so it could be a bit unfair.
