Major Isewater Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Practice with your right foot . You need to be less obvious with your play if you want to be good enough for a top six club . The opposition will be able to read your game too easily if you continue to only use your left . Incidently, I have nothing against your left leg . It is a fine leg . The instant that I saw it I said " hello , that is a fine leg ". However , I want you to be the very best, you have the potential, now work that sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Kelly as more of a defender, not a Tarzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Our boy Kelly could easily be worth more than Bobby if he does what the Major asks. Right now he is certainly our weakest link but the consistent back 5 Lj has found this season is worth sticking with and Kelly will learn by his mistakes. Great prospect, likely to move to better things we'd all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yeh a few times he takes on it his left and gets caught out. Just use the right occasionally and it’ll make a big difference to not getting caught out. Looked solid generally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Our weakest link . Well we must be improving. LK will play premiership football. Learning all the time. He would personally be one of the first on my team sheet . Funny how fans see it different. As for being predominantly left footed . Many top left back in international footballers only use their right leg to stand on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At LB we have Kelly and Dasilva doing the same. At CB we have Webster, Kalas, Baker and Wright all competing for two places. Two wide men in CoD and Eliasson yin’s for one place. Problem is tho no competition in the midfield with Walsh and Smith injured. Similar situation up top with only Fanara as an out and out striker. Unfortunately Taylor is becoming a sick note.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 The one thing I would say to LK is that when you are in a tight spot, boot the ball to the halfway line or into the stand if necessary. He has the makings of a top defender, but don't take chances so often Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Left footed players invariably get accused of being one-footed while right footed players, the majority of whom aren't strong on their left foot, tend not to. Or so it seems to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allwaysred Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 HR your the weakest link for making that comment, yes he's young and still learning his trade but hardly think he's a week link especially what he's achieved for England.I actually think he's so versatile he could be a great ball winner / play maker in a central role his engine is that good.... Hummmmmm the futures bright the futures LK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Folks, Ok i may have overstated/understated my concern / hope for LK so apologies. I agree with all the responses but have seen all bar two of his games and agree our defence looks solid enough. We did notice the 'arms round the boy' by Lj at WBA and other times at the end of the game (cameras never pick that up).On reflection i would pick him every game but have seen too many opposition goals come from his mistakes, even though all of the back 5 will inevitably make some errors. Maybe Robbo is right we dont have any weaknesses any more but if we had one,... Love the bloke, he will be a super star he just needs continued development and with the coaches and other players to help him. You are dead right, he got top ratings for being so positive at Brentford and was the difference at Ipswich. Didnt mean to be confrontational on this just want him to be the superstar too quickly i fear. Will withdraw the comment with tail between legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think how far BT could have gone with even the smallest use of his right foot. Norman Hunter was also almost completely one footed which incidentally cost him big on the international front . I'm not saying that LK should stop using his left obviously but if from time to time he used his right to make a simple pass he could add another level to his game . Incidently , I could make the same ' accusation ' for Pack who is a right footer. Every player has a stronger side but every one of them should aim to be proficient with both feet .

This is unworthy. automatically sticking up for the Club and your chum without working out what is really happening We've crossed swords on this issue before I think. IMHO the ascription "sick note" is a derogatory term applied to a malingerer.( I have given you examples of City players who were genuine malingerers). The term should not be applied to someone who becomes temporarily incapable of playing professional sport because of a genuine injury When I see Matty Taylor putting himself about for the team upfront and running himself into the ground with Andreas to cause the opposition defence trouble and then supplying a sublime pass to put Korey Smith on goal and when I hear him speak in a forthright and fair way in an interview I am confident that he is not a malingerer. Just doesn't have the guile and would not permit himself to behave in that dishonourable fashion. Here's a thought for you to enable you to control and direct all naughtiness and all your vicious spleen and use it for the good of our Club. Why not investigate what our Club might doing to build the best possible facilities and employ the highest quality staff to select, train and condition our players so that they can : a) play for 90 minutes b) avoid a career threatening injury in the first 5 minutes of a game ( Sam Vokes, George Elokobi , Christian Ribeiro, plus that German bloke whose mum traveled halfway across Europe to see him crippled playing for us for us etc etc etc) c) avoid career threatening injuries in training - Adelekun d) not mess up their recovery - Steve Brooker e) have the facilities and know-how to enable them to play again for City again following an injury without waiting a season If you can find out all that, then you might be in a position to judge the players' characters and fitness instead of saying naughty things about them sined SK.

JoeAman08 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Yes his right foot needs improving but think this is as good as you will see LK at LB. He is a CB all day for me and when he doesn’t have that line bearing down him with a defender coming too his whole game changes. He does not feel in control at LB but he comes alive when playing centrally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
