not happening
No Kelly is key to our squad. If people couldn’t tell the difference he made to our team last year they were watching a different game. Kelly with either Hamer or Sheaf we will be a lot better and more balanced
If it doesn’t happen we will be making more trouble for ourself. Hamer and Sheaf offer no steel in front of defencenot happening
soon as Kelly is fit he’s back in that side,robins knows how much he means to us hence why he’s just been extended,sheaf is toast once he’s back fitnot happening

Squad player He had no way outErm he gave Sheaf a 3 year contract
Have a day off talking shit.Squad player He had no way out
While we are at it how many goals and assists did Kelly get last season compared to O’Hare ?
I’m sure somewhere along the line he’s a relation of Sky Blue KidHave a day off talking shit.

Really? Not even Hamer?
Same as last season if Kelly is fit he playsHamer undoubtedly has steel... I'd say Kelly's predominant contributions are game management and tactical nous.
Problem is do you pair that with steel or technical ability?
He plays a different role in the side.go on?
His atrocious pass completion rate for a CM mostly. I think what Dreamer said is fair. Decent enough to bring on when you’re defending a lead an need someone to kick it into row Z no questions asked.
I thought we were after 1 more and it was a LWBHe isn’t the best passer of the ball, you’re right.
Overall, he was probably our best defensive midfielder and that is his primary role.
Had we signed Matty James, that would’ve been Kelly’s replacement. We didn’t and the search continues - it’s really not that simple to go out and sign a player to replace your captain.
We are still looking to sign a CM on loan too so our recruitment isn’t complete in that department either.

Yes, and Hamer will be suspended at least onceI think Sheaf and Hamer are his preferred starters but over a 46 game season MR will be looking at Sheaf/Hamer/Kelly as his any 2 from 3 CMs for the season. With all three fit he has competition for places and reliable cover for suspensions, injuries and dips in form.
Do headers count?Is the bet league only or all appearances? Best to sort out all the details or it'll just get messy in the end
PffffttttKelly is head and shoulders above Sheaf and Hamer and is the missing link IMO. Both players need a player like Kelly to make sense their movement.
I am sure you are aware that both Sheaf and Kelly are Coventry City players who I want to succeed. I believe that Sheaf has started well and deserves his place atm. I also recognise that Kelly has been pivotal to our rise and we were a better team with him in the side.Pfffftttt
Iirc Sheaf's defensive stats were as good as Kelly's but his passing is on another level.
I like Kelly but there were times last season where his limitations were really exposed, not to say he can't do a job but i don't think he'll necessarily start as many games as he may have done in the past.
That said, depends how we go but the signs from the first two games are that being dominated in midfield is not a problem at all.
