Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Infamous last words, but I would be amazed if he ever became even a semi-regular at Rangers. A career as a journeyman in the lower leagues awaits.He's better that Euan Henderson, I'll give him that much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I would be happy with Stephen Kelly losing the ball all the time if he was constantly trying to play forward passes and be creative, he loses the ball by passing it sideways or backwards to the opposition. He's rotten, would rather Mark Klok or Terry Dunfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Kelly has shown a few flickers of promise in some games, but playing him alongside Vigurs has been a disaster, his defensive work is shoddy and his set piece delivery is utterly abominable. But as said above, that's still better than Euan Henderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There’s potential there with Kelly but the position we are in we cannot be relying on potential we need the finished article , I think he’ll have a career at like a hearts , Aberdeen or hibs eventually 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson, Kelly, and Doohan in the last couple of years have been dreadful. As for the Athletic... in the US some of the best sports writers work for it. Here it appears to be overpromoted bloggers.

Yeah that's Hughes idea of total football, passing it back and forth going nowhere, the more passes you make the better he likes it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder how half of them get as far up the age groups as they do, before getting released and signing for Airdrie or Albion Rovers. You do also get utter peaches like Kai Kennedy. But yes on the whole, Old Firm youth players are average to poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have no problem with these guys coming in on face value, but people talking this guy Kelly up as if he’s the next big thing, or Doohan as if he’s Celtic’s next keeper is just wrong. It doesn’t help the players, for a start. And it happens all the time. I have no idea why clubs keep doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably most are just kept so the 1/2 actual talents have a team to play with/mates at the club, until they get loaned out themselves or break through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Imagine how much better Henderson, Doohan and Kelly would be if only we had Colt teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Ultimately this means nothing, but my daft wee model doesn't even think Kelly and Davis are even similar types of players. Left is their "style", right is how well they play it compared to the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only arsehole that tells you they’re similar is John Hughes and that says all you need to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hughes always pimps his players out to the old firm. I know Kelly is a Rangers player technically but he’s mad for wishing his players away to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 So... how are folks thinking about yesterday? If there’s any consolation from watching Hughes teams pump the ball long from the full back position for 90 minutes, it’s that, somehow, Kilmarnock’s centre backs looked worse than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the Killie centre backs look honking, I mean Jay McEveley standards of honking! Yesterday was all about avoiding defeat imo, although the three points were far more achievable than they initially appeared, maybe an opportunity missed but shouldn't be a disaster. I expect us to pick up points from our two midweek home games and I'd expect DU and Motherwell to score a few against the killie defence in their next couple of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued and slightly appalled by the "leaving the land registry" hook. Ross Stewart is absolutely the most improved player I've seen at County. It's almost as if he took on board everything Kettlewell told him. I'm reminded of Fletcher's progress under Ferguson. Scratch that. It's almost as if he ignored everything Kettlewell told him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
