Expand My mate who knew them as players was shocked at us only keeping Chris as he believed Nicky was as good if not better but it has taken Nicky longer to get to where he is now. Tough decisions for the coaching staff when budgets are tight and I sometimes wonder who they put before him on their list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Aye but Butland got to touch the ball. Kelly as usual nowhere to be seen at a cross ball. How he makes a living as a goalkeeper is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he makes a living as a goalkeeper is a mystery. Expand I think there's a bit of revisionism going on because during his first loan spell, and during his early performances after we signed him, he was an excellent performer (and even won the players' Player of the Year). He was certainly poor when everyone else in the team was poor too, but his overall contribution to the team during his spell was a net positive. I was never a fan of having him as a captain, and I always felt his form dipped after that. I've seen plenty of good keepers over the years that don't do crosses - it wasn't a problem for them, because they had central defenders that took care of them. Jim Leighton made a career out of never leaving his 6 yard box, but had guys like Big Eck to mop up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Kelly became a bombscare and cost us a lot of goals, absolutely no denying that especially after he became captain. As been said previously he was very good on loan to us and initially after permanently signing but he just got worse and worse , every other team and even his own defenders knew he couldn't be relied on at cross balls. That being said the Ox seems to be heading in the same direction. Hopefully he can recapture his prowess In the air he's a lot bigger and has more presence than LK ever had.

His distribution and urgency were, however, honking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only notable contribution to the game was to have the ball blootered off his face. What a waste. Expand Yes, I was talking to a Rangers fan of my acquaintance about Lennon Miller and what would be his best move when he leaves Motherwell and he contrasted LM's development via his number of games with us with Bailey, who was supposed to be as promising but has just warmed the bench for a couple of years and whose career has stagnated. I think Lennon's best move may be to the continent, like Lewis Ferguson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
