He was immense again. Like he’d not been away

Looked like he’d been playing in the team from the first game, brilliant performance!

Didn't think he would be as good as he was today .. what a guy

 

[CCFCSteve]

Still got a lot to offer. Some grumble about his passing but his positional sense and organisational skills are a level above

Just what you'd expect from this pro tbf.
Brilliant.

 

[Esoterica]

Both he and especially Sheaf played higher up the pitch in the 2nd half when in possession and it changed the entire dynamic of the team, helped of course by an early goal and a dodgy pen. Some of threads about him in the L2 season still make me angry.

 

[Evo1883]

Him and hyam been with us all the way from league 2 .. that's a remarkable achievement for both

 

[SonofErnie]

Could make a major difference to our away form. Today could be the blueprint.

I actually agree with this

 

[The Philosopher]

The stat gimps on here suggested he shouldn’t play in this match.

Brilliant in front of the back four enabling Sheaf to have the confidence to push up and play his passing game.

We’ve a young team and having a grown up in the middle settles them and it showed.

 

[ms639]

Absolutely mustard today. The amount of times he tidied up in front of the back four is immense.

Excellent performance

 

[better days]

He's the best trainer at the club and ran the U23 game against QPR from start to finish
A great example of how to get back into the side after a long absence

Stats gimp here. Said I wouldn’t play him unless we dropped Allen. Which we did.

And just for you, cos I know you love stats, Sheaf played deeper than Kelly on average

Fair enough. TBH it didn’t seem that way watching the game but the end result worked; Kelly being there helps the younger players.

Just my opinion.

Im not a massive fan of Kelly, but he was alright today, always seems to get a vital block in around the area.

 

[no_loyalty]

He is quality, massive influence when he plays.

Yes he was lucky that he was always in the right place at the right time

If I can say maatson and sheaf were excellent then you can say Kelly was too

He was alright. He’s a very limited player on the ball but as I say has a knack for getting in and helping out the defence when we’re under the cosh, works hard. I wouldn’t keep him in ahead of Hamer though.

Thought Dabo was poor today as well TBH. If I was Kane I’d be straight on the phone to Nii Lamptey podcast.

Performance levels having not started all year though pretty fantastic

I’ve worked it out dabo only plays second half

He’s never going to be sprinting past players but to say he’s limited on the ball is very unfair. I think he uses the ball really cleverly.

He really reminds me of a lower league Henderson in terms of style and role.

Kelly stays in for me especially for away games. The difference he makes defensively is much needed

Our modern day Lloyd McGrath?

First half his options were very limited , rarely given an outlet so very hard for him to stamp his mark on the game

Not about dribbling. His pass completion is consistently the worst of all our midfielders. And he doesn’t try particularly hard passes either. It’s either short balls or aimless lumps. He’s a limited footballer who works hard and gets a foot in well and clearly is a decent captain, but pretending he’s on the same level as Hamer, Sheaf or Allen at passing is ridiculous.

Worst pass completion of the entire team today, even behind Moore which is some achievement.

He's like a 2nd defence in front of our back 3, always gets something positive on the ball.

 

[Liquid Gold]

We just win when he’s in the team. His record with us must be absurd.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Four words...

All the dirty work!

Fair enough , made more tackles and the same interceptions as sheaf though , so he proved his worth today

Would be interested to see stats on going forward passing, compared to taping around in our own half under no pressure.

Yeah. Generally I like Dabo a lot, even if his final ball is incredibly frustrating. Was just a bit disappointed with him going forwards today, seemed to lack a bit of fluency.
