i concerned kenwyne didn't net...them managers look like if 3, 4 chances and you ent produce and they will lose you on the bench....any match report on his performance?
From the following quotes, it seems as though he had a good game:
Report 1Saints almost scrambled into the lead two minutes later when an acrobatic hook by Jones was almost turned in by first Ormerod and then Delap in front of goal but Kenny got his big frame in the way.
Mills got in a fantastic block to deny Shipperley as he turned onto a Webber cross six yards out and then Jones let fly from 25 yards but saw the ball flash wide of the right post.
Blackstock replaced Belmadi on 73 minutes with Walcott switching to left wing. almost immediately Jones made a powerful run down the left and blasted just wide of the near post.
Jones was looking strong and lively and he put over a dangerous cross from the right on 76 minutes. Blackstock hurled himself headlong and got a glancing touch with his head but not quite enough to turn it in.
Report 2It was an incisive touch which Saints lacked. They had plenty of possession but only really troubled Paddy Kenny once.
That was on 29 minutes when Brett Ormerod and Rory Delap both almost turned in from close range from a Kenwyne Jones hook. But the keeper got his large frame in the way for his only serious save of the match.
The rest of the efforts saw a series of shots fly wide, mainly from long range. Quashie, Belmadi and the lively Jones all narrowly missed the target from just outside the box.
Jones blasted wide of the near post as he cut in from the left and then crossed for Dexter Blackstock to glance a header across goal and wide late on.
Jones put himself about well up front and Dyer was a livewire threat in the first half before the stain of two games in three days took its toll on such young legs.
Dyer chipped forward for Jones who found Belmadi in space to the left of goal. He reached the byline but the angled cross-shot was deflected behind and the corner flashed across the face of goal.
