He's a left sided CB from what I know so should be the logical cover for Botman. I know Burn has done well defensively, but we are really struggling to bring the ball out since Schar and Botman were sidelined and our football in general has suffered on that score. Expand Not really, given the lack of Schar, I think Burn was in as much for his leadership and experience as ability. Kelly hasn’t been around the group long enough to have a similar influence yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No idea, but if Kelly can't get into the team when our two first choice CBs are out, not sure what that says about his role here. Unless Eddie just thinks he needs a long bedding in period.

Sibierski Posted September 15, 2024 Share Posted September 15, 2024 I just think he's been signed as a LB, which will make it a poor signing long term as he's a stupidly expensive wages back up LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I agree with this. That’s why there’s no such thing as a free transfer. Just look at Fraser scenario. Especially when you have Targett and Burn who can all play there. Will be an interesting watch to see if he can displace Burn never mind Botman. Edited September 15, 2024 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 21, 2024 Share Posted September 21, 2024 Looks a nothing player to me. Ok defensively. Ok on the ball. Ok in the air. Ok going forward. Passive as.

Expand its not writing off when he is persistently allowing players onto their stronger foot, seeing goals conceded from his side, failing to organise the man infront of him, not create an impact going forward, looks a little shaky with the ball at his feet, doesnt tuck in tight enough when the ball is on the other side, lets crosses come in just because theyre on a weaker foot and looks very naive when it comes to making tackles that dont require contact. He does an adequate job at best. His deficiencies are all there to see. He shouldn't be ahead of Lascelles as backup CB and Hall / Tino should be LB dependant on Trippiers play.
