The thing is with Kitching he brings leadership and communication which makes us function better as a team and a unit than the other 2 we have and Binks did, they may be comparable statswise but the eye-test and team performance show the other side to the story

As mentioned on another thread. Fair play

Lampard on Kitching playing today while his partner is in labour: “Kitch said, ‘no, no, I’ll be there, so he turned up and he played, as he generally does. And now, as I say, fingers crossed that all goes well later on. He’s a throwback to a player that’s an absolute family man and that wants to play for his club. Very special!”

I love how committed he is, it’s great. But it also highlights how much we need cover at CB, if we had another quality CB he wouldn’t have had to play

Because he had a spell of indiscipline on the pitch getting needless cards. Trying to be the hard man and getting involved when there was no need to. He needed time out and the cold shoulder to make him grow up.

I fairness to him I think he has and looks a better player for it.

Kitching is almost certainly going to claim the captains armband when Sheaf goes, he’s a fantastic leader and all the comments in the past about him being a bad egg are laughable beyond belief now. Sell Bobby for 8m sign Hughes and someone to backup Kitch and E I E I E I O

Hamer was trying to win the ball. With Kitching it was afters and often when he wasn’t involved in the first place and when we had already got given the free kick. There is a big difference.

bit harsh on kitching, the sheff weds red was a joke, he got sent off for a 2nd yellow for a late tackle and professional foul for being last man, TBF I’d expect any centre half in that back four to pick up a few cards

I have never seen a player react like the Sheffield Wednesday player. Kitching never protested and just walked. Post match Robins came out and defended Kitching. By Monday morning Coventry and Kitching were accepting their fate. More to that than than met the eye. Let’s face it the ref was closer than you or me.

But there were lots of little moments when he just got involved in needless stuff and a lot he got away with. It was like he wanted to be the hard man centre half without knowing how to be the hard man centre half.

But the main point is since he has got back in the team he seems more mature. Without losing any edge.

Funny that certain people were too blinkered to see he’d completely lost the plot by the end

Kitching and Rudoni at wing back 🤣

I liked Kitching from day one, I was bewildered by Robins leaving him out of the side and got plenty of pelters for it on here. He's exactly the type of CB you need. Strong, aggressive, does the dirty side well. He's not the finished product by any stretch of the imagination and he has flaws but I think he's our best CB. He was guilty of being rash and needlessly getting involved in stuff and picking up bookings, but I think we needed that at the time as everyone seemed a bit reserved and passive.

We have two very good CBs imo. Not perfect but very good and still room for improvement

Well don't to dean Austin and the recruitment team for assembling a good squad
