I regularly see posts and hear people talk in negative terms about Kelly, and I think it is harsh to be honest.  Whether it is because he was a Redfearn signing or was injured shortly after he joined us, I don't know.  Or perhaps it is because he gets compared to Tavernier and Hunt, who were both more exciting attacking full backs whereas Kelly is first and foremost a defender.  In the only game he started at centre back (at Elland Road) he had a blinder and we kept a clean sheet, and he was ever present in the unbeaten run we had under Warnock.  In fact isn't it right that he played for us about a dozen times before he was on the losing side?  He may not be a youngster (though not past it), may not have lots of pace (though quicker than some), and may not be the most gifted attacking full back (though tidy on the ball) but I like my full backs to be able to defend first and foremost, and he can certainly do that.  I am struggling to think of many if any goals conceded that you could say were in any way down to Kelly not marking properly or making an error.  He is good in the air, reads the game well and is generally very solid.  If we are looking for a more creative right back option then I hope that Kelly moves to centre back rather than be left out, because in my opinion he is (Wilson apart who we haven't seen yet) comfortably the best defender at the club and is at least as good on the ball as either Wood or Broadfoot.
