Salech

Great to have him back today.

Didn't really have any chances but good for him to get back on the pitch.

He looked a bit rusty with his first touch, which is understandable.

For that reason, I would expect him on the bench against Bolton rather than starting.

But after such a long time out, it's good to see him back.

The way we played today - I would play Salech from the start. Kellyman and Rubin is a toothless combination. Get Kellyman on the wing , Jo in midfield and Salech in attack. Jo and kellyman worked but except for 1 game Rubin and Kellyman does not work.

I agree.

Individually they’re both talented players but the main reason is that Kellyman is not an out and out striker.

You can see the talent but he’s probably only ever had 2 or 3 decent games since he’s been here.

Rubin, Kellyman? Ashford, Tanner are first class [ outside the penalty area] players .

I know this thread was about Salech and I don't want to start a new thread about Kellyman but he's has about 3 good games for us. He has generally been appalling aside from 2 games as a false 9 post Salech being injured. He's not remotely looked like he is ready for the Premier League or even the championship.
