AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I thought it was a smart signing for a Burn successor and a squad place. Which I guess it might still be in the long term. But at the moment he looks rubbish, although I do think he made a goal-saving block at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Thought he got slightly better, tough to come in like that. Won’t judge him yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Unfortunately his poor marking is the reason we lost that. Conceding so early on gave them a huge amount of confidence and something to play for. It's a really bad mistake on his behalf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 That marking was conference league level on the first goal. That said, maybe they keep him as a LB and emergency CB. Not sure the wages he's on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it was very concerning however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from the eye test or stats excited me and he’s been worse than I even expected. They play different positions but this guy is meant to be the Lascelles/Krafth replacement right? Couldn’t lace their boots on his performances so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was strange wasn’t it, he didn’t look comfortable on the ball or anything and almost gave the ball away early on. When he’s played before he’s looked a physical presence at least and solid. Was kind of floating about without doing anything. Edited November 25 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Like I said, Kelly looks bad so far, I was just saying he was signed as a long-term squad option who could cover LCB and LB in the same way Burn does. But not start too much in either position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 His positioning is abysmal, as bad as I’ve seen in a long time in a B&W shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Looking back on the corner and I really don’t know what he’s doing. His movement just doesn’t track the ball, goes backwards when ball is an outswinger, then instead of trying to then put Soucek off when he will at that stage he’s lost the flight of the ball and fucked up, just stays rooted and watches it all. Proper amateur stuff. Can be mitigated with he’s a back up, but that’s still crap, if you can’t rely upon your back ups. Going to be jokes next season when Hall gets an injury, and Kelly is so crap, Burn is picked over him at LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Was there any reason he started? I did raise an eyebrow when he was named. Perhaps because I don’t rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t have any concerns with him starting but was shocked how bad he was, I mean he played pretty well against Chelsea in the cup. Hes shot himself in the foot there tho, disastrous performance.
