Whens he back? Anyone know if there's been a setback?

Few weeks ago Robins said him and Godden were both almost there, yet Goddens done 45 of an U23 and made the bench, and Kels nowhere to be seen

Would have been great to have on the bench on Tuesday when we needed to calm things down in the last quarter of the game. Saw the game out without him this time but think that'll when he'll be most useful.

Kelly is my man and unless Covid and the injury has caused any long-term problems I expect him to be a first choice midfielder once he has eased his way back in. Either way it is great Hamer, Sheaf and Allen will have to play at the top of their game with a fit Kelly waiting in the wings.

He's still club captain right ?so unless Robins relinquishes that from him then who knows what's the plan ...

He has lots of qualities but unfortunately his passing and distribution is not good enough for the way we want to play at this level.

He'll often just chip the ball forwards into the channel, Hamer and Sheaf use it much better.

He still has an important part to play this season and will play plenty of games, just not as first choice.

Kelly’s passing ability is way below the level needed at this level

Given how we play, with playing the ball far more on the deck and a reliance on our CMs to make driving runs as well as spraying the ball to our wing backs, I suspect Kelly will find it difficult getting back into the side. Even more so now Allen has found form.

As much as I like him as a player I'm really not sure what attributes Kelly has over the other three in his position that would benefit us currently.

I may be wrong but thriughout his 4 years at club with numerous minor injuries he's never really come back in under 23s as far as I can remember.

He usually just comes on as sub in first team and the substitute appearances get longer and longer untill he starts.

This is how he builds his match fitness as his general fitness is top notch.

Kelly's main strengths imo are his organisation and positioning sense. Although we have been playing great attacking football we have almost been caught out on several occasions defensively. Against better teams we possibly would have been. This is why Kelly is key - he reduced the chances presented to the opposition.

And in every game we have played so far the opposition have not had many chances at all

I agree they haven't had many shots at goal but we have been caught out on the break and a poor final pass or a last ditch interception has prevented a clear opportunity.
The main thing is with the loss of that comes more ability to create and we are more than able of playing teams off the park
