What are Liam Kellys Hamstrings made of? (4 Viewers)

[Deleted member 8266]

He played v FGR and Wolves last week

Howley has done well tbf… even though he’s really an attacking midfielder, he has played CB against Leamington, Forest, FGR and Wolves U23’s. He picked up a knock against Wolves so wasn’t involved at Oxford..still only 18 too…

He's a deep lying midfielder rather than attacking midfield

He’s not actually… they have been playing him deeper for the last couple of seasons in the 23’s but they allowed him to play further forward for the last part of the season and he chipped in with plenty of assists and goals… maybe Cov do see him being deeper as you say but he definitely can have a big impact when played further forward…

Potentially. Have only tracked him for the last couple of seasons and every time he's been fairly deep. Seems a similar type of player to Sheaf where you feel that he could offer something going forward but for the most part he is the sitter of the CM pairing or 3

Yes that would be true but I think he can offer the team more going forward… assists, goals etc but good to have that versatility and present differing options potentially…

Kelly has been a good servant to this club. Cut the bloke some slack FFS nobody wants to be injured.
Maybee we should be questioning the physios management of it.

I think it's difficult to manage to be honest. It's quite clear he's developed a worsening issue. What is it 4 hamstring injuries in the space of two years now?

Coventry City skipper Liam Kelly set to be out for significant period

Coventry City injury news from CoventryLive as Sky Blues boss Mark Robins provides some bad news about the club's skipper

poor bastard. out till xmas.

From Robins comments in the middle of the article I'd suspect us to progress interest in Max Bird at some stage.

 

[South West Sky Blue]

I’m fairly ignorant here. I know clubs take out out insurance against injuries. Not sure it would cover something like this, particularly with his injury record over the last 18 months or so.

Anyone with a bit more football finance knowledge able to advise whether we could make a claim here, or whether that’s just career ending injuries? I’d suspect the latter.

NB: having worked in other insurance industries, I know all policies are different…

6 minutes into a game, surely have to be looking into the warm ups?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Giving him that contract last season was mental

From Robins comments in the middle of the article I'd suspect us to progress interest in Max Bird at some stage.

I can see where you thought that from what he said, but his comments seemed to me more like we are going to settle with what we've got:

"But yes, it can change the dynamic, that's for sure, but we have seen Josh Eccles can do that. I can't just go and get experience because that doesn't solve anything longer term, and I am trying to solve longer term problems. You know what we are, a team that recruits to develop and sell or develop with us. There's no change, that's what we are and people can't lose sight of that, so we just get on and carry on as we are."

I'll admit I'm more sentimental about Kelly, but keeping Waghorn and Walker for me seems frustrating and like we are settling as well.

You'd only do that if it was a pattern though wouldn't you? It's not like 3 players went down in the first 10 3 games in a row. It's a 30+ year old with a history of hamstring injuries

Thats him done here i feel

Tbh I thought he was done before they offered him that stupid 2 year contract

I won't have an opinion until the oracle Richard overson gives us his insight from within the club

 

[CovBrummie94]

Time for Eccles to step up and cement his place as a midfield option

 

[Evo1883]

Time to change captain

The contract extension decision isn't looking good is it.

I’m not sure how clever it looked at the time tbh.

Edit: been a great servant to the club but…

 

[Briles]

Potentially out until New year according to Robins

 

[Saddlebrains]

Doubt well see him in a cov shirt again tbh

 

[Grendel]

Pathetic to offer him the contract - it makes us look like a go fund me rather than a serious professional club

I’d always thought it was one like Biamou’s where something was triggered and we had to offer it

They’re usually one season aren’t they?

 

[sylus]

lets not forget, Kelly barely played last season.

Well that’s kinda the problem.

I think both extensions triggered a fair few alright.

Let's hope Eccles can stay relatively injury free. He's going to be quality and will be needed a lot this season.

Of course we do not know what the contract says.... there may be appearance deals involved too
