AppyDAZE Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Definitely a real talent. Cardiff or Fulham or Huddersfield or Bournemouth (or insert current Prem club of choice) have a real star to look forward to next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 How long has he got on his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Rileys Mullet Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 My thoughts...if I’m a young player and the first choice centre backs are injured and I am picked, it is my opportunity to stake a claim for the shirt. Kelly deserves to keep the shirt....I don’t care how old he is. He was the best city player by a country mile. He knew what to do in every defensive situation. Personally, I think he will go on to play for a top premier league team. Enjoy him while it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 4 hours ago, Robbored said: The lad certainly looks class and at 6’3’ is tall enough to play at CB. As for being ‘out muscled’ - Asambalonga is all about strength and power and he’s one of the toughest opponents Kelly will face in the Championship. He bashes every defender in the same fashion. All good experience for Kelly. And fouls and whinging to the ref when he loses the ball. That said, you'd always want him on your side. He's not a technically gifted player but his scoring ratio is great through sheer determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agard Days Night Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Kelly looked classy and assured today. Think we’ll get to the point very quickly where the starting berth at CB is his to lose. Webster doesn’t fill me with confidence, Baker and Wright both crocked. What odds a pairing of Kelly and Taylor Moore starting a game together before Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Dave Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I thought he was absolutely outstanding today. You can see why Johnson thinks he’s a Centre Back. Thought he oozes class and was strong as **** against Assaalongba. He makes the game looks so easy. Reminded me of Gary Collier and that is massive praise. Thought him and Pack were the only bright spots today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take into account his age then he was decent but he has to be a lot braver on the ball and not sit so deep when we are in position. Johnson clearly spoke to him at half time as he improved this second half but Boro happy to sit back by then He’s improving every game he plays. When the club loan out young players they get stick for not “giving them a run of games” so I reckon we should be grateful Lloyd is getting this chance.

He did ok, can't say any of our players ' did really well' yesterday? Wieman for me looked a class above the other 10 city players yesterday.

Puckle_red Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Has clear potential but currently is not tough enough for the Championship nor good enough. Also feel him and Webster contributed to a lackluster tempo and both lack desire. With a bit of development and an 'edge' added as well as being in a team with a real strategy and way of playing I'd be surprised if he didn't become at least a playoff contending Championship first teamer one day.

Fiale Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 He must had been in possession more than any other player. He always looked assured on the ball, his passing is pretty good, and he brings the ball out if there is space in front of him. He hit a few long balls, but seemed more due to lack of options in front of him, than anything. Thing is, is he also doing this in training etc ? If so, surely he is ready as first choice CB - he looked better than some of the "proven" Championship players out there, and defensively was let down by the more experienced defenders. What exactly are our plans for LK - we brought in Dasilva onloan presumably as first choice LB, and Kelly is not (was not) high on the list as CB starters.... so was he just going to be a bit player, are we a little to conservative in bringing through our lads at times.

cidered abroad Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 If he stays in the side and also stays free of injuries, we will see the Premier clubs lining up in January to entice him away. If we're safe in mid table he might stay bit would you want four more months of misery if we're scrapping for our safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could sit deep and look like Franz Beckenbauer with limited pressure.

If LJ does see Kelly as a LB (yesterday was a one-off). Who is first choice LB....Kelly or Dasilva? It is one of the problems of the modern day squad game.

shelts Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Think it would be very poor if Dasilva plays and Kelly doesn’t especially after LJ has talked him up. Look after our own players I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
