Nor have I, nor do I know if it's likely to reoccur after the first one. But I am pretty sure if he'd not been injured we'd have won handsomely simply because he knows how to finish
wonder how bad his injury is? Robins says 2 to 3 weeks but he was clapping supporters when he went off. Can you do that when you've got a bad shoulder injury? I've never experienced one.
I'm not entirely sure the max and Kelly comparisons are remotely fair
Kelly has been fantastic for the club whereas max was largely ineffective.
More about fans reaction than the players themselves.
A fit Kelly starts ahead of sheaf all day...I don’t think many will disagreenot sure about that

I thought sheaf one of our best players against Forrest especially in the second half, he wasn't brilliant yesterday, but no one was really. And he isn't going to come across another team that presses with that intensityNot really , the people that love him think that .
He looked brilliant in his wolves cameo .. hasn't yet taken it into the season.
Tries to be too cute too often , it's been said by so many people it's really hard for us all to be wrong

I actually thought Barnsley pressed far less than last season .. they look a different side , not in a good way
Not sure you can say they didn’t press first half. Agree with the second but though, just saying that to a Barnsley fan on Twitter.

They played worse but got more points. Funny old game
Fair enough , they could have lost 5-1 on another day
They can't keep hoping for that luck all season

Because he was slower than a pacy forward or because he didn’t take the red card?
You’re right in that it isn’t just about passing, but we are a team that wants to play progressive football and build patterns of play. To do this you need to be competent on the ball, which Kelly isn’t. 28% long passing success is abysmal. I take your point on his other ‘intangible’ qualities but this is why I’ve been quite passionate in that I’d have moved Kelly on and got someone in the mould of James who has both sides to his game. Obviously the budget hasn’t stretched to that so we are where we are.
If your passing success rate is only 66% in the Championship in a position where you’ll tend to have a fair few options on, it tells me the game is moving too quickly for you. That’s why I don’t think he’s Championship quality.
If O’Hare takes his chances and finds his passes their goal is irrelevant,his end product is awful
It doesn’t need to be said anymore. If he had an end product, then he most certainly wouldn’t be a City player.
The front 3 need to deliver i have no worries with Gyo but a lot is gonna rest on ohares shoulders to deliver consistency,with service I’m sure Waghorn will also deliver,we will get better we pretty much dominated yesterday,second half against Forest also was goodI said on the predictor thread I think we could be scrapping near the bottom depending on further transfers. Given that they are now pretty much done and I don't think we are massively better, I'm still a bit cautious about doing that well until I see us play a few more games.
At least be hitting the target he needs to slow things down at that crucial moment...he lacks composureI don’t think anyone’s expecting him to score every chance, or every other one, but just occasionally would be nice!
I disagreeA fit Kelly starts ahead of sheaf all day...I don’t think many will disagree
You think Kelly will be on the bench ?I disagree
Yes. But we need a squadYou think Kelly will be on the bench ?
You tried to make the point earlier that he was faster. Brennan Johnson was alright, but his pace didn’t go unmatched throughout. Sheaf is slow.

Once fit Kelly walks into that team ahead of sheafMy word there are some mixed opinions on here, less we forget the influence Kelly has on the team when he plays. He has a huge influence on the way we play. I remember last season when he was out injured we struggled to put a win together. When in the team we invariably did much better. He is everywhere from the defense to forward line, and intercepting all points between, reading the game extremely well. He gets in tackles, cuts out through balls, and keeps us in possession. He's also good with the odd ball over the top. Sheaf and Hamer are none of those things. Sheaf's energy is questionable and lack of pace scary, and he has a lot of improvement to do. You can see it in him, but he's still a liability on occasion which he must eradicate. Hamer showed against Barnsley in the second half what a good player he can be. He just needs to be on it 90 minutes.

Are you serious ? Kelly is captain and the leader wait and see I’ll happily have a bet he replaces sheaf once fitno idea if you’re on the windup, and I’m not in the “Kelly’s not good enough” camp, but no way should he play ahead of Sheaf
Yep, why pick Sheaf out, apart from he's the populist option atm.no idea if you’re on the windup, and I’m not in the “Kelly’s not good enough” camp, but no way should he play ahead of Sheaf

God, you'll be here all week as he parrots page after page about how Robins is trying to get out of the deal etc.when Sheaf signed what was your view, were you happy with it?
