Popular Post Graham Moffat Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have been following Killie's fortunes - misfortunes? - all season and was a bit surprised to see you go down. I must be honest, my initial interest as a Bournemouth supporter was to to see how Zeno would get on in a 'proper man's league'. He seemed to have bit of a rocky time to start with but latterly seemed OK-ish. What is your overall judgement on him. There is going to have to be rebuilds for you and for us probably. so good luck for next year. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the last couple of months he has come into the team at CB and done really well. Looks a great prospect - dominant in the air, uses both feet, good concentration.

casual observer Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 He did have a few moments during the early part of his time here where he wasn’t as strong as his physique suggested he could be, but due to the inconsistency and awful performances of others came to be regarded as our best centre back option over time. Should have played more imo, but our manager for first 70% of season was clueless. Played one or two early games as a right back. Composed on the ball, didn’t take unnecessary risks and got more physical and solid towards the tail end of the season. Conducted himself very well and has the best wishes of all at Killie I think it’s fair to say & should carry no blame for our s**tshow of a season! No reason he won’t have a good career in the game if he keeps up his progress. Best of luck next season Graham 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl1869 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 He done ok, solid enough, struggled a bit with distribution but probably not used to having so little time on the ball to make his mind up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll certainly be tougher for the experience, as his more experienced defensive partners on a couple of occasions were caught berating him on the field, for their own ineptitude. Didn't appear to phase him. As shown by his willingness to come out to speak to the fans at the gate on Monday night. While others hid. He will finish 4th in our player of the year standings. The highest placed defender. Would have him back in a heartbeat. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Considering his age , inexperience , coming into a different country and playing in a struggling team …for me he did really well in the circumstances and hope he has a good career going forward Would have him back next season if there was any chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Looked okay to me definitely could become a good player with the right coaching going forward all the best for next season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShark Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Raw, but a good attitude and has potential to become a good defender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James K Polk Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 He never let us down when he played, even when our previous manager decided to given him his debut in a position he didn’t play (right back). Still got stuff to learn but what impressed me was his all round game, decent in the air, decent eye for a pass, read the game fairly well (particularly for someone of his experience) and could tackle. Think most supporters would wish him well for the future. He also got a lot of sympathy when our more experienced players tried giving him some stick even though he was just covering for their mistakes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieDIV Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'd say he's had a 5/10 season, which is outstanding compared to our other defenders - I don't think I'd give anyone else more than a 3. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts in real effort, not afraid to put his body on the line and had every possibility of being a really good central defender. He ended up as our best central defender by quite a distance in my opinion. Shades of Kristoffer Ajer who came to us fairly raw and has since gone on to be a regular starter with a bigger club. Would have him back in a heartbeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaw Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 For a young lad learning his trade I would say he was pretty good, To sometimes stand out in an under performing Team at a young age and few games played, Well that tells me that he could develop into a reasonable player. He reads the game ok, Touch and composure is pretty good, Last ditch tackle with his long legs are a stand out attribute. Good in the air. Negatives for me would be ,Lack of concentration sometimes , out of position on occasions, But I don't think he suits playing on the left of the centre defence. As someone already said , He was not helped by the main centre half and defensive Midfielder allowing runners past them to easily. Be interesting to see how he grows in his body, Some gym work and a few pounds and he could be very powerful in the air. One of the better loan we have had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcd Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Good young player with plenty of potential. Would take him back no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Decent player with a load of potential but I don't see him playing in the EPL regularly. Yes he made mistakes but not as many or as big as his more experienced partners. Can we get him back for next season?..... Please??

Popular Post bute-killiefan Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Toward the end he was effectively holding the line on his own as the 2 fullbacks were garbage and the guy shouting at him for 90 minutes has been finished for 2 years. Big future ahead for him 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel4 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 He was constantly let down by the players around him, but was 1 of the few that could say that they had a solid season for us this year. He was also apparently the only 1 who came out to face the fans after the playoff defeat which says a lot about him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
