He did alright early in the season, and end of last season - was poor when he returned against Wrexham etc last season. Maybe he's being eased back gently, in his dotage?
He's there if needed.
Why bring that up ? He is part of the squad not first eleven or even twelve or thirteen, but when he is picked or brought on he never lets us down, his last couple of games he was arguably m-o.m.Another bit of rotation last night and still no appearance. Down to the bare bones, especially in midfield.
We were 4-1 up against Wednesday in the cup and it took him until the 85th minute to bring him on.
Robins really doesn't think he's at the level anymore, does he?
I don't like him in midfield but felt he had a decent game yesterdayHe’s surely a better option in midfield than Latibeaudiere?

I think it's more that Lati will be here next season and Robins trying to keep squad happy. Difficult one really as Lati was signed to be RCB of a 3 and in a 2 I think he's 4th choice behind Kitching, Thomas and Binks so trying to find a place for him.
He's there if needed.
You think robins cares about his performances last season?Probably the fact that he has played 400+ games as a midfielder. Not the 20 that Lats has as a utility player there...
Also based on the end of last season, where he was key to a team that finished in the play offs. He'll be gone in summer, either way but we should defo be utilising him more.

Everyone was terrible against Wrexham.Strange regarding Kelly. He was terrible against Wrexham last season, but then when he came back into the team at the tail end of the season he was excellent. When he played earlier this season he was also decent. Surprised he hasn't had some minutes recently, espeically with Sheaf and then Allen getting injured. Still not convinced Lati offers more in CM than Kelly would.
The thing he does offer is mobility. Kelly is a much better option as a holding midfielder, but he looks like he's running through treacle half the timeStrange regarding Kelly.

Yeah good point. I meant more generally and trying to see MR's perspective on what he offers over KellyYou sure? Watch Lati running back for the Plymouth goal.
I wouldn't want either of them in the midfield for a run of games tbh. Both fine as a stop gap for a game or 2 but both far too limited on the ball for our style of play.We're a footballing side and Latibeaudiere is a better footballer than Kelly - I think it's that simple

I disagree completely. Kelly's age might be against him and his lack of pace too, but he is a decent footballer. As an example I would refer you to the 'unseen' video from a few games back where his finishing skills put all our current forwards to shame.
I am a big Kelly fan but you are deluded about his finishing ability. He has scored twice for us in about 57 league appearances. In fact he has only played 18 games at Championship level. Alright he is a DM but if his finishing was as good as you make out he would be the penalty taker.
Haji Wright 30 appearances and 10 goals in Championship, that is 1 in 3, that is decent by any standard.

Sorry what? He's made 60 ish appearances in the champ for us.
Not forgetting his near 20 games for Bristol City on top of that!Sorry what? He's made 60 ish appearances in the champ for us.
