Shearergol Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 After yesterday it’s painfully obvious that neither Hall or Gordon are quite ready for the PL yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upthemags Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Looks like another season where this lad will have the shortest leash of everyone in the starting XI. Bizarro world. We were dross until he started those last 8ish games, and could step into midfield and bomb down the flank for us. Kelly played that goal onside, with shocking marking on Semenyo. Hope we'll see a change at half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Harsh to blame Kelly for the goal like. Hall and Kelly will be rotated throughout the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) We're not a mid table squad that needs to make the best out of the little that we've got anymore. I don't see the problem with playing 2 attacking fullbacks personally. Most teams does. It's not like Livra sucks defensively either. We're supposed to dominate some of the teams in the league, and having fullbacks that are great with the ball is a part of that.

buzza Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Made a big difference when he came on, great with ball and no mistakes. Competition for the left back berth! Well done lad!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Did well today, I still think Howe will stick with Kelly though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Looks way more confident than Kelly as LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Both have pros and cons, think kelly is the better defender (although average today) but lewis is much better with the ball at his feet Edited August 25 by buzza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Kelly for the goal, but his passing was awful and he was quite slow when should have closed down. Hall offers much more offensively.

gbandit Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Thought he was very good when he came on, absolutely love his positive intent. We saw last week that it can go wrong but it’s exactly how we should be playing and he did well defensively too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Played his way back into the starting 11? Kelly played the old Dan Burn centre back playing left back role today. In fact at one point Dan Burn made a run down the left further than Kelly had all game and it was depressing as fuck.

KaKa Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 In hindsight I really wish he had started the game today. I really want to see how he would have dealt with that kind of pressure defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he is one of the best if not the best passer in this team, and we had so much trouble keeping possession. Miss after miss after miss.

Miss after miss after miss. It's funny because last week, we also started Longstaff and Murphy, started the game terribly and we never got going, Hall was then also guilty of giving the ball away a number of times and almost costing us. Howe had better stop with the Longstaff and Almiron/Murphy combo, or we are going to end up in big trouble. It's putting us up on the back foot and taking the team out of rhythm completely. If Hall is up against Semenyo that first half, I'm not certain we're still in the game at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have pros and cons I just think we have to accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Wonder if Hall's going to be used for home games and Kelly for away games. Also, I said a few days ago, but I reckon he could be a terrific inverted right wing. What do we want in that position? A left footer with great technique who can shoot and pick a pass. A good athlete who can dribble and is two-footed enough to go down the outside and who'll get stuck in on the defensive side of the game. That is basically Lewis Hall.
