drewe is the kind of player who could excel under ainsworths management. he has talent but at this stage his nerves and decision making could get the best of him at times.
even so, he's scrappy as fuck and when he did make mistakes he came out like a bat out of hell to rectify them. proper ainsworth type player he is, its gunna be interesting to see how he does for us but also makes you question why nobody else saw anything in him

I hope he does well obviously.
On a side note, he isn't actually that young. He is 22. Why is it taking so long to break through into the team? And he is probably only playing due to injuries. Same happened with Kakay, Manning etc. They get lucky that a spot opens up and then we suddenly see that they might actually be good enough.
Begs the question ... why don't we play these kids earlier?

Some of us have been saying that for past five years. If they’re not good enough by 22 (I’d say 20 tbh) then what are they doing here? Owens, Gubbins not to mention Hamalainen on a four year contract.

I'm of the opposite persuasion. Kakay has been involved in first team football on/off with us for some 7 years, and has learned fuck all regarding positioning etc. He is 26 and still caught ballwatching and not checking late runners etc. Better chance that Drewe can make it, imo. But 4 years younger than Kakay and therefore more likely to improve under Marti ? |

agree with westy. i like drewe's work rate and he's done a job at times but you can tell who's cut out for it more often than not at this level. he's had a few good games but even kakay is better and imo kakay is just a solid midtable league 1 player.
drewe will carve out a career for himself in league 2 and the national league.

Personally, I would say he is a promising player, but I know not many would agree with me.  |

Drewe is better defensively. Kakay is better offensively. I'd say that. |

I'd say that. with the greatest of respect kakay has done plenty of good defensive tackles, that’s outrageous saying hes never done that. He makes errors that’s his downfall but what was the game when drewe got pulled first half as he was so bad and was getting taken apart. Kakay is average but he’s head and shoulders above Drewe imo. |

I think they’re both terrible players and no where near championship level. I wouldn’t waste your time arguing about which of them is better fellas. They’ve both shit.

They’ve both shit. kakay is at least a good squad player. bit like how dom ball was a good squad player. never championship player but somewhat reliable, work hard and a decent option to bring on to close out a game. every team needs kakay's in the side imo. |

Have to agree to disagree on that one. I can’t fault either of their commitment and effort. But you need to do more that show commitment. Kakay switches off far too much and makes too many poor defensive decisions. He’s played enough games now. |

I meant I don't think Kakay would have made those types of tackles as it’s not his strength. Not saying he can't tackle obviously. Agree with James though, it's hardly worth debating as there's not much between them overall imo. |

Has Kakay been injured lately?
Just noticed that he's not even made the bench for the last three games, whilst Drewe has been in the last four squads. Unless KK is injured, then regardless of what we all think, MC appears to be favouring Drewe.

Good luck to the boy never turned it in and hope he has a career somewhere. On a side note I think it’s quite refreshing we are finally cutting ties with players who were just really there to make up the numbers if we are honest. Also liking the personal messages from those that have left so far, nice touch. |

good luck to the lad. he's certainly good enough to forge a good career for himself as a pro and i highly doubt he'll struggle to find a club in league 2. maybe he'll bounce back one day but it's the best move for everyone for him to move on.

good for him. surprised it took him so long to find a new club though. hopefully he bounces back and can move into the professional game again, he could make it as a league 2 regular with the right development imo.
