The thing that will probably go against him at Championship level is his pace. Keeps possession very well and is a smart player but he’s awfully slow on the turn and to recover, which will be exploited more at the higher level. Still think he’ll have a part to play though

Lots of people are saying he won't be able to play in the championship

They said he’d struggle in league one and he’s been very good again.. He’s a quality player and should be given a go next season. He’s good enough.

I understand he's been playing through an injury for quite a few games this season; always gives everything for the shirt.

Shows how much Robins rates him as well (playing through an injury) and sees him as vital in our midfield if you think about the competition for places in centre midfield this season.

You see a lot of teams go through the leagues and they keep 2-3 players in their core.... no reason why Kelly can't do that.

Neve hides, is always there to take the ball in difficult situations. If we do go up I think he is one of the players who could make the transition.

We play so much better when he’s playing. For the sentiment of it, it would have been good to keep Willis back in the league he started with us

Liam Kelly is a good player, very good infact first name on the team sheet I reckon, Robins will bring in some new recruits so hopefully Kelly will be playing with better players, let’s not underrate him.

Since Doyle left Kelly has been outstanding. First name on the team sheet for me even in the Championship. His awareness and composure more than make up for a lack of pace.

I think Kelly, Walsh and O’Hare are all capable of playing in the Championship. Torn between desperately wanting to play (and beat) the Villa if we go up versus them staying up in the hope we get Callum for another season.

We’ve also forgotten that our upturn in league 2 coincided with Kelly coming back into the team after illness/ injury. He made a huge difference when he came back into the team

O'Hare hasn't entered into contracts with Villa so far, and they don't have an option on him, I don't think, so he could be a free agent after June. Given the way he celebrates goals it's not like he's a loan player anyway, and I think he will get more games here and know he's an influential part of this team. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

To me, he has been the steady player at the heart of the way we play, breaking up opposition attacks, linking defence with midfield and covering ground when things break down, not to mention his accurate passing and using his wealth of experience to drive others to perform.

I'd say he's the first name on the team sheet for MR. And he's not missed many games either.
So I've no idea what the O.P. is rambling on about.

Kelly would most definitely be given the opportunity in the Championship, especially if Walsh and O'Hare don't return. As long as he can manage his energy throughout games he should be fine, but would probably need a post-Xmas rest, where he's on the bench and brought on as a stabilising influence if we're leading.

Be interesting to see our success rate when he plays, must be 40% + games won

For the last 3-4 games before all this he was looking tired. Someone said he was carrying an injury. That makes sense to me. He wasn’t poor, he just wasn’t as good as in the first half of the season.

Which of us would have said John Fleck would play Premier League and not look out of place
Plenty of our players are good enough for the Championship

Have to agree with this. Whilst our players might not be able to walk into a team that are title contenders in the championship, I think most will be competitive against many of the other teams.

Kelly decent at L1, although he can't shoot for toffee, but Championship definitely a step too far. No room for sentiment and if we go up, thanks for thr service and we welcome you back on legends day.

Said it so many times but can't believe he got relegated from League Two, the rest of that Orient side must have been toddlers and pensioners.

Actually the club was deliberately sabotaged by a crazy vindictive Italian owner
He wanted revenge on O's fans who he thought were ungrateful and disrespectful
When he bought them in 2014 they had just been beaten on penalties by Rotherham in the L1 play off final

He was one of Oldham's better players, the year they beat us 4-1

Make Liam Kelly available for transfer and I predict a clammer for his services from most if not all of the top teams in our division.
