For those of us not indulging in over the top farewell speeches let's celebrate the new deal for an actual influential player. Liam Kelly signs for 2 more years and the stats show its the right decision.
Spent most of the games at Right Back in L2 where he was clearly instructed to drop in when Grimmer went forward. We had so few progressive passes available with both Doyle and Kelly sitting as deep as they were. Thank god for Viveash because, for me, our tactics were woeful that season until we really had to start winning games. The above is part of the reason why players like Jones, Bayliss and eventually McNulty were successful that season - they could beat a player and make things happen for themselves.I would never have pleased at this news when we were in league two, he always slowed the play but he has become far more influential and is better all round player than he was then and deserved a new deal.
Great reader of the game astute signing will he be with us 6 seasons when this contract expires?

He did you clownIf we are offering Jones a deal 1000% Kelly gets minimum 2 years
Strange, he was one of our most important players and what we'd been missing for a long whileI would never have pleased at this news when we were in league two, he always slowed the play but he has become far more influential and is better all round player than he was then and deserved a new deal.
Fk me really? Have we gone back a generation? I thought that word had been exiled with the N word and the P word.I know this you boring mongol
Deserved 2 year deal. Will have lesser game time you'd think but proved vital once again and hoping he gets a couple more goals too
I still cant believe how good a player he is, based on him coming to us from Orient.Kelly would be the first name on my team sheet, in league two he was anchor we had missed for so long, in league one he gave us stability that allowed others to shine, in the championship we were simply better with him in the side.
He doesn’t have pace therefore I can see him being around for a long time unless the injuries catch up with him.
Being phased out ? Suspect he will become more important as time goes on and by the way never gives the ball away(apart from when he does)
I think because he's steady and not flash. He never stands out (Wycombe apart) and you notice him more when he's not there. I recon he could coast like that in the Premiership and still not look outstanding if he dropped back to Conference level even now. Your very typical consistent 7/10 week in week out which is less likely to catch a scouts eye. I imagine almost everyone on this board rates him, yet how often do you think any of us have given him a 9 in the ratings or made him motm? I'd guess barely ever.I still cant believe how good a player he is, based on him coming to us from Orient.
How on earth did a gem like this find himself playing at Orient (and Oldham before ?), when he's clearly so much better than the level those teams played at.
He had bad luck when he moved to England. Bristol paid to sign him after they'd just been relegated from the Champ and the manager who signed him was sacked a week later and then he did his cruciate halfway through that the season.I still cant believe how good a player he is, based on him coming to us from Orient.
