This will raise a few eyebrows but i think in all the years he has been here, we always look far better and more organised with Kelly in the team. He isnt flash, and never does anything spectacular, and to many would seem a very plodding dull player. However all top sides need such a player screening the defence, the best top level example i can think of who played at the highest level was Gilberto Silva for Brazil 20 or so years ago.
While fans say Kelly just plays like a crab with sideways 5 yard passes, those simple things are so important as it just can often calm things down and allow the team to get back into shape. Also positionally he is like a magnet, always knows where the ball may be in the second phase. The defence has alot more confidence with him there.
Obviously his experience is vital as well, as he has been there, seen it and done it so he must be a huge help to the younger players.
Everyone is salivating about a Torp-Sheaf combination, as am i as well, but Torp is still new at the club and joined us after a period of not playing as he was on holiday so to expect the best of Torp regularly in the next 10 games with so much pressure on the games as they come thick and fast is both unrealistic and unfair on him. A Kelly and Sheaf combination would be excellent. We would be very hard to break down, and id suggest whoever out of us Hull and Norwich in the next 10 games keeps the most clean sheets will get that 6th spot.
