CountryRoyal Kelly 4 - really just doesn’t bring anything to the team at the moment, and hasn’t for a long time. No impact on the game and poor set piece delivery.
Swift 7 - it’s strange how people see the same game. Thought he was by far our best player and the only one demonstrating any quality in any capacity. Good footwork and decent link up play.

Passes 110
I was at the point of counting the number of sideway passes Kelly was making in the second half. Baldock was running the line but there was no attempt to play a ball into space to run onto.
Any stats on McShane. How many times did he push forward, only to go nowhere and pass the ball backwards in the second half.
I bet his pass count was high.

Old Man Andrews Swift was alright today, certainly not someone I'd target as letting us down. Criticism is harsh.
If you want to blame anyone have a look at McShane, Kelly and Meyler. All three were complete passengers and played into Bolton's hands.

Just watched the goal again and I have no idea what McShane was playing at. Dreadful positioning. Moore not a lot better. Between the two of them they really messed up.

Funny indeed. I saw Kelly do very little in possession, and I'm not saying he had a good game. But I didn't see him give it away cheaply by being stupid in our own half, and I did see him win the ball back on multiple occasions. I saw Swift do none of that.
Swift did prance around a few challenges extremely well. But it never really seemed to amount to anything and he was just as guilty of slowing play down and not passing into the front players. Plus his shooting was godawful. Just thought I'd throw some stats up for the midfielders to see what they show - I've not looked yet, but I'd guess Kelly's pass success, tackles, interceptions and being dispossessed would all be better than Swift and not much difference in key passes. So we'll see what it shows as an objective look at things. Not saying it's definitive or proves anyone wrong.

It doesn't prove anything by any means, as I said, but it certainly doesn't make me want to change my mind about thinking Kelly played better than Swift. Also, I think I'm using the Whoscored chalkboard right, but according to that, Kelly made 76 forward passes (69%) to Swift's 32 (51%) Just saying.
Oh, and in my defence I was in the South, so couldn't make out a lot of who did what at the North end towards the end. So if Swift created stuff then I may have easily missed it.

Kelly was playing mostly behind Swift so I’m not surprised he played more forward balls.
Unfortunately Kelly is fast resembling Danny Guthrie. Gets the ball, pauses, looks around and then either plays a diagonal Hollywood ball that takes ages to land giving the opposition time to get into shape or plays a short pass to a defender or another midfielder in no space at all.
there is an argument that says it’s not Kelly’s fault there are no options it’s the rest of the team. The movement first half was OK. Second half Kelly included it was dreadful.

Hound Just seen the goal. Was even worse than I expected. Sunday pub league level defending from a basic move
Awful from Moore and McShane
We will not win games if we defend like that.
