Kaikai

LennyLowrent

The topic has probably been discussed before. For what its worth - from the little I've seen of him, this guy can play and he's part of our current team.
We all know he hasn't had the best start with us and where he comes from and all that, but I feel if us the supporters can give this young player more encouragement he will repay us big time.
Come on you reds, lets all grow up a little.

I think he's suffered by joining a team that was going nowhere and not playing very well.

The appointment of Bowyer and Jackson seems to have galvanised the team so lets hope Kaikai improves alongside the others.

Can't see him getting a game , bar injuries

SDAddick

Yeah I think he's shown flashes of real ability. I think he came into the team at a time when we were really bad, he was anonymous in games, which you expect a skillful winger will be at times, and he's Palace. I think there's a player in there, I don't know if we'll see it in this loan spell. But he can look at what Stephy did off the bench on Friday as a blueprint on how to try to force yourself into the team.

All making perfect sense and yet, in line with your comment, a 'skillful winger' can do with approval from the fans to express himself the way we do to Fosu or Mav every time they've got the ball. I have a feeling that Kaikai can open up defences with his passing ability which is a rare commodity amongst our forwards at times.

I think he’ll have a telling contribution in the run in. Maybe a late winner in a game heading for a draw

He played in a 442 at Shrewsbury where he scored all of his goals....make of that what you will.....we may still see him flourish!

Charltonparklane

He was the only player that gave a fck the little time he had against Fleetwood. 3 crunching tackles that he shouldn't be doing, 2 of them after being booked.
If he comes into this side at any point the way we are playing I'm sure he would be a positive help.

Confidence was an issue with the whole squad, not anymore.

He'll fit right back in at some point.

Bedsaddick

Not been impressed. He’s lazy and there is no room for a player who doesn’t pull his weight.

Henry Irving

Nothing to do with him being from Palace imho; he's just not been any good.

But other players who were doing badly have improved with 442 and without Tarbuck's heavy hand.

So still time for him to come good. I hope he does.

killerandflash

He's done okish when he's played, but hardly dazzled and with Mavididi back has slightly lost the opportunity he had as he will drop down the pecking order, especially as the 442 formation means one fewer attacking midfielder

It's a Internet message board with differing opinions.

Charltonparklane

I personally don't think anyone can be judged under Robinsons last 3 months in charge.

RedChaser

Not sure what 'fans having to grow up' has got to do with it however from what I've seen of his appearances thus far he has not impressed. Whether that is due to formations, lack of game time, I know not but he came with a lot plaudits and high expectation following decent loan spells with Shrewsbury and Brentford. It seemed like good business to eventually get him to favour us with his services.

I couldn't agree more that players and the team will respond more to encouragement than groans and moans but it's a two way street, show the fans effort, desire and a bit of quality, they will respond accordingly. I think the fans want him to do well when he gets the chance but he needs to show a bit more when it comes because he hasn't thus far by only averaging 4.6 in the statbank for 4 qualifying appearances.

The trouble is I can't see him forcing his way into the starting line up at the moment and then there is Marshall, Mavididi and Magennis currently out of the team to contend with. He's another option if injuries / fatigue / drop in form gives him the opportunity to stake a regular place but until then he needs to work as hard as he can in training and give Bowyer a nice selection headache. Every member of the squad needs to be ready to step up if called upon during the run in so I really hope he shows the promise he came with.

ShootersHillGuru

Has a good pedigree and reputation. Feel he suffered under Robinson’s faltering tenure and can’t believe he won’t have something to prove and play a part in our run in assuming we continue to have a run in.

Both of course

harveys_gardener

I think Brentford offered Palace £1m for him, so there is a player there.

RedChaser

Just come on for Fosu after 15mins v Rotherham, lets hope he can grab his chance.

Well, he certainly didn't help himself in that first half that's for sure!!

Addickted

Terrible first half. Really cannot see a million pound player there.

Well done!

paulie8290

Just had a great chance but clearly has no left foot as he tried to move it onto his right and lost it

LennyLowrent

Lets get another one !!!! Stttteeeeppphhhhyyyy

LennyLowrent

Wrong thread sorry mom

LennyLowrent

Kaikai inspire this team, he will come good, he's one of us now !!!!

Exiled_Addick

Did he look more interested today? I can forgive not being able to have a major impact on a game, for whatever reason, but in his previous appearances, that I have seen, he has looked a bit uncommitted. That is what has irked me about him, if he's trying then he'll have my full support.

Covered_End_Lad

Thought he was pony again today

ricky_otto

Pretty poor in the first half but stepped it up in the 2nd. Probably needs a run of 2 or 3 full games to get himself going. Maybe he will get that if Fosu is out for a while.

scabbyhorse

Thought he did ok today , lad needs games and he was far from pony!

He's always looked committed, he has looked a little lethargic lately though.
