KELLYMAN IS OFF THE BOiL OR ON THE BEACH

[montyblue]

He has not impressed me the last5/6games just dropped off so badly, if it's because as some suggest since rubin coming back then murphy needs to sort it,

infact I would replace rubin for joe who was scoring goals,

but kellyman needs a rocket up his ar.e there is no way chelsea are going to entertain him ,so he needs to get a grip,
we have given him a chance to shine this season he could reward us with a bit more fight.

Can’t disagree with that but to be fair he’s well out of position as a striker.

He looks lethargic and I won’t be bothered when he goes back to Chelsea and then goes back out on loan somewhere.

I suspect he'll be the one to drop out the team when Salech is ready to start.

I'm a big fan of Kellyman but can't argue with your comments there.

[litoblues]

I'd swap Ashford and Kelly and position.. Kellyman is a winger and Ashford can play up top.. he at least as movement

[Blue since 1981]

If Salech is fit to start Saturday bbm might be tempted to move kellyman back out wide and rest tanner who's been off the boil the last few games

Drop tanner Ashford on the right willock on the left joe for rubin

Drop tanner Ashford on the right willock on the left joe for rubin

I would definitely play Joel but there's not a chance in hell bbm will drop rubin for a game this big

At this point it's just pray that Rubin has one of those games because your right there's no chance he gets dropped

Sometimes proves a problem with loan players.
Their heart isn't really with the club they play for, especially late in the season.

[1980s Bluebird]

I would chuck the new keeper in as well, Trott has also gone off the boil and isnt really being challenged

In my humble opinion we were better without RC and since he has started back we have gone worse, cant really see what JC has done wrong not to be picked, even Turnbull started before him which is unreal

[New Day Rising]

Was he ever on boil?

20 million??

Villa did Chelsea up like a kipper?

His appearance figures and goals speak volumes:
Derby zero
Villa 2 senior appreances. , zero goals. ( did score some in wacky friendly)
Chelsea zero.
Cardiff 29 games. 7 goals.
Has played for Northern Ireland U17/18 & England U19 ( 10 Games )

To be fair he's only 20 , however he is in need of games and senior match appearances, this year has really tested his game .

If hes worth 20 million slap a 40 million tag on Lawler

Well you've sort of answered the question there.

It's his first full season in senior football. Not everyone takes to it seamlessly like Lawlor.

You can see the quality he has but this is probably why he can not hit the mark sometimes.

By the way the £20m should be ignored, was only done as a deal between Chelsea and Villa to help them both with FFP rules.

[englishbluebird]

He is just clearly being played out of position. I don't think its an attitude issue

[llan bluebird]

Kellyman is another talented player who is difficult to shoehorn into our team. IMO, he is a second stiker/10. He needs to play off a target man, drop, and get the ball facing the goal.
He drops too deep to get near the ball and compresses the space, cramping Rubins' space to do his thing (passing). He played better with Joel, who is more willing to run in behind and pull centre halves out of position, whereas Rubin rarely does that, as he always makes himself available for the pass.

Rubin and Kellyman play the same position, but Rubin excels in a possession-heavy system, whereas I believe Kellyman will thrive in a more conventional system, as he is a dribbler with talent, but both need a big target man to occupy the centre halfs and make the field long.

BBM needs to find a Salech alternative during the summer.

Ever since he gave that interview saying that he saw his future at Chelsea he's done nothing to suggest that would be even remotely possible.

Ojo Mark 2?

A bit harsh perhaps but I think he'll end up as a very decent Championship player - maybe a bit like Philogene.

Nice to see Kellyman was back from his beach holiday today!

Fair play to him - worked very hard and good movement to get free for his goal.

No coincidence that several players had improved performances simply because bbm played a pressing game always looking to go forward it suits players like lawler willeck ect.... saw same in the games we used the press compared to the slow slow stop football at previous 2 home games ..... bet we passed almost as much yesterday as in most games... but possession was down I suspect.... chances galore aswell especially in 1st half that meant should been 2 up without a problem. Let's see if he does similar tactics Tues....
Ohhh and crap use of subs again left it far to late it almost cost us should made them just after their 3 subs because yhey looked threatening until we made the subs

I hate the term "progressive" football, but they tried it and were not great in all honesty, which encouraged us. The press didn't have to be amazing as their centre half and full back were terrible on the ball and panicked.

No they was not great wonder if it was way we played that caused them problems aswell..... our best performances have been playing similar style... and worst performances generally was the sitting back against low block teams trying to out pass them! Anyway it was what we needed and we won't be caught now.
