Maybe its not the players fault just the pillock that is conducting them.

I would be handing in a transfer request if a guy with vernons record of scoring was getting a game of ahead of me ! Kelly is a classic example of weak hearted s@hit out winger , he makes Gary Child's look like Bobby Cummings.


For all the abuse Woolford gets, he looks so much more of a proper footballer than Kelly - my main memory of Kelly so far is yelling 'make a challenge' at him as he sauntered around at BP in a cameo sub appearance.   Kelly makes Woolford look like Paul Bolland, tackling-wise

My main memory of Kelly was him receiving the ball wide left with about ten yards of space early on in the game away at Stevenage. Instead of driving at the full back and taking advantage of the good position he found himself in, he was too scared of potentially being on the end of a tackle so he meekly dribbled out of play. I'd already seen enough of him against Chesterfield and Coventry to know that he'd been a poor signing but Christ on a bike I couldn't believe we'd signed a winger who'd rather just run out of play than try to take their full back on.

I remember when we signed Kelly and Paul Wilkinson proudly announced that Dembele and Kelly could take us to the next level

In his defence, he didn't say which way or which level they could take us to.

Regarding Hooper, he's certainly got something about his game, but he's not exactly an all-action sort of a player. If he was played week-in and week-out, I'd imagine he'd reach double figures in the scoring stakes, but I don't think you'd get much else out of him and we're not nearly good enough to carry this sort of a player.

From the odd appearance I've seen from Kelly, he seems to be relatively nippy and has a good close control but he never actually did anything when he got the ball at his feet and disappeared out of the games very quickly.

Which is what every Vale fan was saying to me when he signed. And if you look at that showreel of his on YouTube you can see it.
