Re: Kev Long

In part i agree with you shakermaker, what has been missing is a strong physical presence at the back.
My only reservation about him is his lack of pace, therefore its important who plays along side him.
In reality hes only played in the irish league and burnley reserves so hes on a learning curve.
I have seen a lot of good young centre backs over the years ( jonny flynn last year ) ,but i have not seen anything that sets him apart.
I would have still pinned my hopes on Owens to come thro and develop into a top player as hes as good a young prospect as i have seen.
Can anybody answer why hes been overlooked ? as he cant still be injured and he came on as a sub last week.
