What do we know about him then?

Not a lot to be honest. However he has played quite a few games for bournemouth and together with the Legge signing I think we have signed 2 good players.

Rumour is we are also after Cody McDonald.

It is good to see a club who are top of the division but actually looking to strengthen the squad rather than sit on its laurels.

Also nice to see Allen's comments on how well Scally did well to sign the players. Really does make a nice change to have a season with good news coming in regularly and being top of the league

Just get the feeling he is trying to get Kedwell out?

Rest assured he's not trying to get Kedwell out.
Not so sure getting Cody back is a good idea though.

I think he thinks Kedwell is an integral part of the team in this division Elg. I think he has tried dropping him and it keeps not working when he does.

And he still keeps dropping him!

It's very strange for us to be in this position, but I think Allen likes squad rotation. It's been a long time, if ever, that we have had the luxury of being able to chose who plays. I'm not sure its dropping a player, its either resting a player or playing the player who Allen thinks will do the job for him on the day.

to be honest Elg, I think the way Kedwell plays means we do get the best of him if he is rested.

He just doesn't stop for the whole game, game in and game out. I think resting him is doing him good.

I have to say in contradiction to my above, that I am not a lover of rotation, and believe generally that strikers need to play together
week in and week out to learn each others systems. Unless you have to never chop and change the 2 centre backs and the 2 strikers has
always been my mind set but hey what do I know.

I agree with that, strikers need an almost telepathic relationship that only comes with playing every game. However I believe Kedwell had a virus which was why he was left out of the side.
