New hope

Not a hope for me, I think that's just too easy. He was awful. He didn't want the ball and despite the general consensus (on this site anyway) he doesn't get stuck in enough and is not at all tenacious in his tackling. He stands around, hoping to break up play but rarely does. He'd be the first guy gone if I had my way.

I don't mind Kelly. He was obviously rusty and probably nervous the last night and it could have cost us but I thought he was a good player in the PL for Birmingham. I'd have him over McShane any day. I haven't seen enough of Foley to voice an opinion.
