Myles Kenlock is still clubless. I hope he's at least getting some worthwhile training somewhere. I suspect there are still loads and loads of players in a similar position, and it must be nerve-wracking, not knowing where you'll be working (hopefully) in the next month or so. |  | | |  |

Strange situation with Kenlock
Loads of champ appearances. Wasn't great. Wasn't awful.. I'm surprised we haven't seen him at a forest green for example. |  |

I’m sure he’s a nice lad but Kenlock was one of those I said for some time was nowhere near good enough for us and the fact even Colchester haven’t taken him speaks volumes.
Yet some were suggesting he was better than Penney and some even that he was better than Coulson. Honestly. People on here said that he was one of ours and should play!
I think Leigh and Davis are about two or three divisions above him in terms of ability. Saying that hope Kenlock gets a club. Surely Chesterfield is an option? |  | | |

Did really well at Colchester, a regular and even scored 3 goals for them!
Amazed they didn't sign him.
Could definitely do a job at L2 level, but probably no higher. |  |

At Colchester he was a replacement for Ryan Clampin, who was seriously injured at the FA cup game at Sudbury but is now back. Colchester have been very good at producing full-backs in recent years and rate Clampin highly, and I doubt Kenlock was ever meant to be more than a stop-gap if his wages are on the high side for League 2. | | | |

Agree. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in league 2. |  |

Agree. I'm sure someone told me he was going to Notts County but could be wrong. | | | |

We'd have been better off keeping him than signing Penney.
We paid both their wages last year with MK not even registered for half the season, and now this year we are going to pay Penney's wages for nothing as well.
This was the stupid part of the 'demolition job' last year, Mk was perfectly adequate as a back up LB, and we could have just let his contract expire and cover the games MP played in, at one point we had Bailey Clements struggling, MP binned off to the U23s and MK not even registered |  |

He’ll find something, for sure. Might have his own reasons in terms of geography etc for not going anywhere just yet. I quite liked him on the rare occasions he played on the left of a back 3 for us, I thought that quite suited him. Roberto Carlos he isn’t, but as a mid 20’s, fairly experienced free transfer I would be surprised if he’s not playing in L1 or L2. |  |

MK perfectly adequate back up, really?
Penney played 22 games last season, not including the games he should have played when Clements somehow got in. Kenlock playing those games would've weakened us, simple as that. |  |

I think Penney is better than Kenlock but I think the argument is that unless you can bring a player in who is a big upgrade on what you have then it's better to play someone like Kenlock.
Penney was better, IMO, but enough to show a real difference on the pitch? Not sure. | |

I'd respectfully disagree. I know where you are coming from, but ability wise I wouldn't even rate Kenlock as a League One back up.
He's one of the worst players in terms of ability that I've seen in a Town shirt. He worked hard, tried and gave it a good go but I honestly can't think of many players We have ever had who have been worse.
You could make a case for Best (but he was once a decent player) or Malarcyk (who looked competent against Man Utd) or Skard for example. But Kenlock's ability for me, over a reasonable number of games, is way off.
I appreciate this will be unpopular and professional football managers have played him 50-100 times so you could make a very strong case for me talking nonsense. But I'd say our resources, lack of transfer spend and the positions of need played a huge part in him getting way more games than his actual talent merited.
As I say, he's probably a lovely guy, but I see him as a Conference standard full back at best and would expect that he will hover around there / Conference South now rather than spend the majority of his career in the EFL. I hope I'm wrong. | | | |

It’s so funny how we see so many of these hindsighted posts slating players who played many games for us at a higher level than we are now but somehow the players we have now are better. |  |

This is exceptionally harsh — Kenlock is perfectly OK, which is not what we need and perhaps not what most clubs in L1 want but should comfortably allow him a professional career. | |

Let's revisit this in 5 years and see where he's been playing.
The evidence is clearly against me here. 100 odd appearances in the Championship and League One says he's better than the Conference.
But Dean Bowditch played 72 times in the Championship and then spent 15 years in League One and Two. Billy Clarke did the same for 49 games and then spent the same period in those divisions.
Both of those started well and were given games and times but ultimately were not up to that standard. I'd say both were substantially better than Kenlock, so time will tell.
Some young players get games and then do nothing. I see him as, ability wise, one to follow that pattern. As I say, I do hope I'm wrong. He's one of our own and always tried his heart out. | | | |

Oh I don’t disagree. It’s also an ancient truth in football that many left footed players have careers many right footed players could only dream of. I still think it’s funny that Matt Penney is better than Kenlock, Morsy is our best midfielder in ten years, Walton is top class, ad nauseum. | |

Time will tell. It's a bit silly to be saying those things now but it might end up being true. Would we sign the likes of Giles Coke now? Bru? Bajner? Best?
We had a lot of dross (not including Kenlock in that) in the Championship. | |
