Re: Brandon Kavanagh
Under utilised player by Higgins for whatever reason. Always looked to make something happen, was often our best outlet when he did get on, scored, which is more than could be said for starters, and will be sorry to see him go, as will a lot of folk around me at the games.

Good player. Brilliant in moment's but consistency was an issue.

Re: Brandon Kavanagh
A very useful rotation player who is of the right age profile and who you would imagine was still improving. Feel like this will be a loss to the squad, however with Kelly coming in it was probably inevitable

Good player and seemed a likeable lad. A loss to the squad but deserves to be a starter every week. Good luck to him

Re: Brandon Kavanagh
Felt he was under utilised quite a bit. RH seemed to play him in a position that I never felt he was made for and that was out wide. He seemed to drift in quite a bit. When near the end of his time here he was used through the middle quite a bit he seemed to offer a hell of a lot more and looked a good quality player. Always felt when he started games he was the scapegoat and the easy option for hooking off instead of other players when there was considerably worse on the field at that time.
We have spent a few years now developing him as a player and I felt he was getting better and better. Looking at the ST PATS midfield if he is used through the middle they potentially have the best midfield 3 in the league with Lennon, forrester and Kavanagh in front of them. Stronger than what we currently.
Goodluck to him and he deserves the game time just hope he doesnt come back to hunt us.

Really. You think that midfield is better than any combination of Fats, Patching, Dummigan, Diallo, Hutton and O’Reilly?dcfc_legend9 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 2:28 pm Felt he was under utilised quite a bit.

I don’t.
Forrester the most consistent midfielder in the league the last few years and the best midfielder by a country mile last year.
Lennon an absolutely cracking player who complemented forrester so well in the league last year.
Kavanagh who was RHs scapegoat but could clearly play and deserved alot more playing time.
Fats plays a 3rd of the games whilst is a fantastic player.
If I had a trade of between Patching and Forrester id take the latter. Personally just think he is a better player albeit Patching is a fantastic player.
I still dont know what our strongest midfield is thats the issue? Do you?
The look of Lennon, Forrester and Kavanagh has a nice fluent feel to it. I dont think we quite have that yet.

Re: Brandon Kavanagh
Derry's over reliance on Fats and lack of any attacking threat is our downfall. A great player when fit but sadly that's not too often these days. Dundalk got the best days from him and Duffy.dcfc_legend9 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 4:12 pmmokendismucker wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 3:09 pmReally.

Forrester another great player but not prone to injury so a better bet.
We need to move away from Fats and consider his involvement a luxury when we have it. We need another leader, another creative spark in the same mould and they are not easy to find.
