Those stats are nonsense. Kelly lost the ball a lot in the first half especially, usually off a poor touch or being too slow in possession. He rarely looked like he had time on the ball.
Off the ball he was good though, he lands on a lot of second balls, which we have been missing since Sheaf got injured

Kelly does what Kelly does, and he done it really well. He has no pace, never has done, but he knows where to be, picks up loose balls and breaks up play, keeps it’s simple and gets us going again. That’s his job, thought he played well tonight.
That Rotherham team might be the worst league team I’ve seen at the CBS since we came back up. They had nothing up top and didn’t even look bothered. No fight what so ever and look resigned to going down.
More than happy with a 5-0 win and Simms showing he can finish his dinner.

Yeah, Torp.was very, very quiet.
Kelly was immense tonight. His running in midfield was so symbolic in terms of pattern (team) marking. He ran left the whole team ran left, he ran right the whole team ran right. He may be a league 1 player next year in most minds but he is the most gifted player never to make premier league in a tactical sense. He’s a cov legend and seeing him on pitch tonight was a privilege. He commands such high standards and i feel privileged to watch him at any level.
Also great first time ball by Kitching down the line for Bidwell which led to a goal (simms second or third) How he’s not been picked recently is beyond me
wasn’t a surprise, Collins, Kitching and Bidwell back in and we win. Poor opposition but did our jobs. Simms third was a belter. Second decent as well

we’re talking about this season, and I would say next but he won’t be here playing next season….
we’re just about hanging on to the coat tails if you’re honest with yourself, and if we had someone who wasn’t just a stop gap then maybe we’d be firmly in the top six or better

To be honest it was like a training session from the 3rd goal onwards , hard to gauge

Kelly had a good game. These social media armchair know it alls can get it wrong.
This. People trying to over analyse a game like that is weird. We were under no pressure to force anything. Lots of players were taking the easy option because there was no pressure not to.

I thought Kelly was decent , I can't get onboard that he was exceptional or a pleasure to be in the same stadium as , as enigma has basically said .
But he did a job fairly well - 6 or 7/10

Won 5-0 and still trying to dig out players, fucking hell 
Kelly was good tonight but I guess because we didn’t spend £5m on him and sign him from abroad he must have been shit.

So you agree? Or is evening Liam an insecure reply as you are a typical guilty person with a “no comment”

that driven pass to MVE on the edge of their box was outstanding
Watch him from minute one and the penny will drop! He is phenomenal just not fit anymore…..
Rotherham were so poor, I don’t think you can really take too much from tonight in terms of long-term findings. Can’t remember a team that useless since maybe Derby at Highfield Road.
Really happy for Simms, Bidwell and Eccles both did very well at wing-back, and we had some nice striker cameos from Godden and Tavares. But Rotherham were truly, truly awful.

You weren't alone . He's still got a way to go but the potential is there
I swear you watch a completely different game to everyone else

Excellent Skyblues …… back to winning ways , but expected more from the opposition !
Another 5 goals & a clean sheet , now on to Watford & another 3 points

Also immense and exceptional are 2 different words…..immense is to be large and powerful. Exceptional is to be unusual and not typical? He was def not unusual or typical. He was was immense

what on earth have I just read
Yay someone finally bit an enigma sarnie.
He was very good, but he won’t get that much time on the ball against other teams in this league. Rotherham’s midfield was more static than my grandma’s old telly.

Robins mentioned there has been illness in the squad as said on here, but he's not been able to rest certain players as much as he'd like.
Might go to explain some of the poor recent performances.
Also said about people thinking they can do better than him from their computer screens

Also - Robins did say this evening in his post match that there has been illness! Collins mentioned by name as having had it! Puts to bed some of the "row" rumours.

He's not the most gifted tactical player to never play in the premier league.Reply without a passive aggressive comment SkyBluescam. A proper debate that if you dare?
I wouldn't say it's a a privilege to watch him play.
Club legend though, sure.
