I Think Martin Kelly has been pretty decent at centre back in the last three games. He looks much better as a centre back than a full back, which is as far as I am aware the position he had always played at both Liverpool and Palace?

Commentary team mentioned that he was another one Liverpool must be rueing they had let go

I agree. Had taken a while though. He used to get skinned at left back. Painfully so. He has been great recently.

I thought he was great and Tomkins too. The biggest compliment i can give them is that we didn't miss Sakho

He has played all along the back four but centre-half is his preferred position although some have said that he is really a right-back.

Martin has proved his worth and deserves a new contract in the summer.

Kelly is one of those players who received a lot of thoughtless criticism while playing a secondary position. Even recently people on here were saying we should get rid. He's always been a good player for us and considering the size of our club, when we got him, we have been lucky to have him.

I always thought Kelly was a decent squad player but was dubious when people suggested he should play at centre half. He has done well though. I believe Sam has a reputation for coaxing the best out of defenders having been one himself. I'm told he did a good job with Kone at Sunderland who is now shockingly bad according to their fans. Probably not worth a new thread but (tin hat on) I also think Campbell is a decent squad player as fourth striker behind Benteke, WIckham and A N Other next season.

I think he has been pretty decent at CB and it's the first time in his career he has had a run in that position. I still think he is backup because he doesn't Instill the same confidence Sakho and Tomkins do, but we could do a lot worse as a backup CB. Just please please never play him at fullback again.
