Handsome_Devil Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I actually clicked the link to vote with good intentions there then went um....I mean who on earth has had a good full season? Toss up between Kelly and KVV but if we're fair it's probably Watt and he fucked off four months ago! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Gave Bevis a wee nod, assuming that Kelly will win pretty comfortably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 KVV for me. Hot and cold for sure. But better than lukewarm pish that describes most of the squad this season . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Aye, it's KVV, Kelly or Bevis for me. KVV haas produced moments of magic to win games more than once and at times been a joy to watch. Kelly has saved us multiple times Bevis has just been, I think, pretty solid, played multiple positions and generally just a good egg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Kelly as he has been consistent, saved more points than he cost us, not looked as imperious as he did before Christmas but who has? KVV is hot or cold and for that reason can't be considered for me. However I think most would agree the whole teams Brownie point total is deflated due to style and tactics they've been employed to do at times by Grezza. Not awards we give out but Woolery may have been up for most improved player if he hadn't been sidelined in the last 6 weeks. & Slattery may have been up for the main award if he wasn't persona non grata from Xmas until recently. Tony would have been a shoe in if he remained even if his scoring dropped off like it has with the Arabs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 A player of the year award is a good thing. This team hasn't been good. +1 vote for Nirrenold for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'd already chucked my vote in for Kelly before the Vote Nirrenold lobby started. I mean, at the time of writing he's played every game and due to the way the squad has been managed he's the only player who actually has a full season as a body of work. Had Slattery not dropped out the side he'd have been a decent shout, had KVV not been as patchy I'd happily have voted for him. Bevis is probably the only other candidate and even then he's had a pretty up and down season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's really only when you pair it with the shorts for that harlequin effect that it looks a bit daft. The pairing never bothered me at all to be honest. At the time I thought we were just copying Blackburn Rovers because they'd just won the EPL wearing a similar kit, although looking back now I see they didn't do the shorts thing (and never have). Weird to see the love for the fluorescent strip though... I'm sure I remember most people hating that at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good goalkeeper and possibly better suited to being captain than SOD but he's not the player the media team want to Jedi mind trick folk into thinking he is. Lads, Lewis Irons can squeal about "world class" saves all he wants, it doesn't make it so (it's also very annoying to listen to). Going by his TL I definitely wouldn't be going for a pint with him. He has a nice dug though. Edited April 28, 2022 by capt_oats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good goalie though not at the heights of the loan spell. Whether his six months Jan-May last year or this season is his true ability it's hard to tell...I certainly don't blame him for being a little hacked off with what he has in front of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Kelly is a more than good enough keeper at this level. Is he going to push on and be Scotland number 1? Debatable. But I like him at this level. Great dug. Would not go for a saag paneer with him. Unrelated: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Aye fair enough boys. I agree he is a good goalie/very good goalie for us. He's no where near world class though in my opinion. Some amazing saves, often I think he could have done better at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think any criticism of Kelly is pretty harsh. I don't think he's the answer to Scotland's goalkeeping future, or capable of nailing a place down at a much higher level, but he is absolutely up there with, if not, the best goalkeeper Motherwell can attract. You also have to remember that our tactics for a good part of the season have been just to allow the other team to have the ball. When you have to defend that so relentlessly, it's only human that a mistake comes in now and then. Fortunately not on twitter, so I'm unable to see what mile out stuff he shares there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's above Ripley and any others you may care to mention. His 'remarkable' saves don't outweigh some of his flaws - He isn't aggressive/decisive enough for me and his lack of stature is an issue. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
