Kelly did not do anything but apart from one forward pass, kept it going sideways and gottackled off the ball a few times for being too slow. laked forward vision or any real attempt to push forward. often had nowhere to go. Did he even get a tackle in? The game passes him by a lot. At times he is still lovely on the ball but offers the team nothing much I'm afraid. When eccles came on the ball started moving forward faster. Don't get me wrong, he did nothing really bad but there was nothing to his contribution apart from one long through ball.

He did exactly what would be expected for his role and he did it relentlessly. Takes discipline and know-how to play the way he does. Link the team, dictate the pace and let the creative players be creative. He was exceptional considering the little football he has played imo.

Helps forget about Friday.

My only worry with him was he looked very pedestrian when Maidstone countered , against wba that would concern me . He did have a fine game tonight doing the simple things well

His forward passes led to the first 3 goals…

Not sure MVE's cameo at RW worked but Lati decent at RB so its worth working on

Speaking of Lats, Kelly looks a far better option at CM, always showing

We take a Quarter Final place out of it

Also added confidence for Simms and Tavares.

Yes, of course. Meant more from a fan perspective when evaluating its impact on tactics/selection choices for the remaining league games etc.

Comedy moment of the game for me was Kitching trying to play like John Stones and play as a 10 and making a complete mess of it

Good luck in the next round , if anything I got prediction right 5 nil . As someone said earlier id be gutted but I'm not. I think individual errors cost us the 1st 3 goals but take them away the result was never in doubt .

Good luck for the rest of the season.

They'd have been as bewildered on the day, given they absolutely battered them.

Guess it's what happens if you have a Championship level keeper in your midst.

Only reason I watched the post-match guff was to hear what Robins might have to say. Ridiculous.

If Wilson had did what their keeper did for the 5th then there would be a meltdown on here

Anyway, fairplay Maidstone and I hope you enjoyed it as long as you aren't the fella who got back to his car let a dog out he'd keep in the back for about 3 hours and proceeded to let it poo all over place and didn't clean up after

True. I expect he will be snapped up by someone in the summer.

Didn’t realise keepers were allowed to do that

Professional performance and great for simms to keep his run of goals going (strikers don’t care who they score against). Took the first one really well. Also chuffed for Tavares after coming back off a bad injury

Hopefully no injuries although robins mentioned Wright took a knock and we go again Friday for the big one
