Brendan Kiernan

Quoted from moosey_club

With it being a shorter loan could it be that Khan's injury is a little more serious than initially thought?

My immediate thought was that he’s cover for Scanz but the Khan situation is a bit worrying.

When we signed Khan I had an inkling that PH might see him as capable of playing the McAtee role, and this Kiernan strikes me the same way.

That is pure supposition on my part of course, but if it were close to the truth then (as others have noted) likely Khan wouldn't be ready for the opener.

Can't remember the last time I liked the look of all our summer signings. None of them look like 'squad cover' types to me.  

Really feel sorry for Khan. Tried so hard to drive forward down the left side at Cleethorpes. Good touch and keen to press defenders. Saw him and a few of the squad at Oaklands last week having a quiet meal. Looked very subdued.

I think Hurst mentioned he'd 'damaged' his calf in the post-match interview after the Lincoln game, rather than 'pulled' it. I'd guess this would indicate a torn muscle. NHS reckons 4 to 8 weeks recovery for a moderate tear and 8 to 12 weeks for a severe tear. I'd perhaps expect a professional footballer to recover a little more quickly from a higher starting fitness base and with better treatment than the average man in the street, but he'll then need to recover his fitness so could be out for a while which is bad news.

I don’t think we’d have looked at more wide players if the Khan injury hadn’t happened. Hurst didn’t seem too upbeat about it the other day when asked. I am guessing his return is expected to coincide with Kiernan’s departure or thereabouts.

Kiernan seems to be a squad cover type to me from the fact Walsall have let him go to a rival on loan and from what their fa s have said - I.e. decent player but not great, whilst all praising his attitude.

Very decent, experienced asset but not necessarily a player who is going to be on fire at this level.

Kind ofbtbe opposite to wearne, who we hope tears up the divison inbhis first full season of mens football but who is untried at this level so always has the risk of not fulfilling expectations and disappointing.

I'm perfectly happy with the signing of both of these examples by the way but i see one more as the steady Eddie reliable and one as the hopefully suprise package breakout player (fingers crossed).
