Feel like it deserves its own thread rather than bringing up an old one

Felt like today confirmed his time is probably up for us now barring a defensive injury or suspension crisis .

Been a fantastic servant for us , one of mark robins best ever signings and a Giant of a man/ captain

162 games for Coventry 8 goals
1x League 1 title

Many clean sheets

He doesn’t suit four at the back as he ain’t quick enough, a good player who has done a fine job for us.

Agreed

Cally Fedora · Jan 6, 2024

Certainly a hugely successful signing. I wouldn’t be writing him off just yet. He still looked our best defender earlier in the season. But in a back 4 he now appears to be 5th choice and that’s a lot of bodies to get past to get a game. He’d still be a nailed on starter in L1 for a couple of seasons though.

He would be far better than their number 3 today.

SBT · Jan 6, 2024

With all due respect to McFadzean, who’s been superb for us throughout, in hindsight we would have been in a much better position today if we’d let him go after the playoff final.

clint van damme · Jan 6, 2024

He's a city legend in my eyes.
Been integral to our resurgence, hope he's enjoyed it as much as we have

Don't agree. We couldn't have succesfuly gone 4 3 3 with the fit midfielders we had after Hamer left.

covcity4life · Jan 6, 2024

Still wouldn't mind seeing him in a 2. Seems to be stayed as fact that he would be abysmal and I'm not sure without seeing it for myself

Obviously hopefully we don't ever need to do it but if we did I would be interested to see how he is

junglej13 · Jan 6, 2024

Also don't underestimate the part the likes of Fadz, Godden, Kelly and Allen play in terms of setting the standards at Ryton.

ptr · Jan 6, 2024

Do not write him off just yet! We’ve had a good run without any injuries but it will catch up with us. How many of us at this point last year thought Kelly would start in the final?

AFCCOVENTRY · Jan 6, 2024

Even Kelly didn’t get any minutes today. His time is also up.

Sky Blue Pete · Jan 6, 2024

Thomas
Sheaf
Mve
Saka

New names taking our great club forward

Kingokings204 · Jan 6, 2024

Might be worth keeping to the end of the season just in case. Plus he has a special connection with Thomas and kitching and to learn from him would be amazing. It’s only 4 more months.
Either way what a great and loyal servant to this club and I thank him greatly.

TomRad85 · Jan 6, 2024

If I was to keep any of the old guard on as staff it would be him.

Would love to keep Fadz and Kelly just for the positive effect they have on the squad as a whole but that's unrealistically selfish. I think both will want to continue their playing careers lower down the pyramid

Agreed, I think he’d make a great coach

We have a brilliant defensive coach already.

Being a great club player does not always correlate with being a great coach. I'm looking at you Rooney Gerrard and Lampard

Nuskyblue · Jan 6, 2024

Wouldn't write the guy off, how good was Kelly tail end of last season?

Fadz is made of the same stuff, the quality is there.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 6, 2024

What a player, feel he could still do the job if called upon

Alkhen · Jan 6, 2024

I'd keep him about if possible. seems a real leader and standard setter in the squad. Can't understate the impact he made when he first arrived.

The new system doesn't seem to suit him and you would imagine he has a year or two left to give on the pitch. if he wants out then we shouldn't stand in his way. He can always come back to the backroom staff down the line. Could head to Wrexham for a pay day and link up with his brother maybe.

Paxman II · Jan 6, 2024

I would not be so dismissive just yet. He is the only centre back who gets his head on everything coming into the box. Kitching & Thomas for the good they have produced have failed to do that on a number of ocassions.

Though in retrospect he'd have been fine today so lacking in threat were Oxford

The fact he’s been a captain, so he’s a role model. He seems to take an arm to the younger lads around the team, players seem to look up to him… lots of reasons.

Personally I feel both Kelly & Fadz would make good coaches… just depends whether that’s here or elsewhere like Doyle did or whether they also want to continue playing also like Doyle did

Quite possibly O’Hare, Godden, Kelly, Fadz go before next season. Leaving just Wilson and Allen from the L1 promotion season.

Huge job to maintain culture after losing Vik Gus and Dabo this year who all seemed a big part of it.

McFadzean's got a funny face. He looks like he's started to melt a bit and then been put straight in the fridge.

My finest SBT moment. We’ve had some bang average Centre backs over the last 10 years but this guy would head a brick. Loved him.

It’s crazy that Kelly has gone as long as he has. Imagine being told he’d be playing in championship play off final when we signed him as a 27 year old from non league Leyton Orient.

Best CB in ages. Been an absolute warrior for us.

stevefloyd · Jan 7, 2024

Don't write off the Fadz he has a knack of suprising us all ...been a great player for us

Bertola · Jan 7, 2024

Feel for him. He only lost his place when his mum died, but hard to see him getting back in ahead of Kitch/Thomas/Binks/Latibeaudiere at the minute.

Shocked he didn't get any minutes yesterday

Shame he didn’t too
Same for Kelly
The revolution continues
We rise together
Mve / Ohare / palmer / Thomas the new leaders

Grendel · Jan 7, 2024

In the end he has reached an age where he is inevitably replaced.

Oddly Mcfazdean to be improved from an indifferent start to being a superior player in the championship

He has been by far and away the best defender we’ve had in the championship with Kilkline like leadership qualities. We only ever succeeded in a back 3 with him at the centre of it.

Legend is used for anyone who plays about 5 games this days but he deserves the tag for what he’s done for the club in the last 5 seasons
