I’m not so fussed about Kelman, so long as Smith and Drinnan aren’t out for much longer which were told will be the case. He’s here to fill a short term gap and will then be behind Drinna and Smith in the pecking order.
But the boy in midfield had better be the real deal. He should be here to start games ………

Re: Charlie Kelman
Kelman has the making of another Drinan in him and not just by looks. I gotta good feeling about this. It's been a long time since we've had so much firepower in the forward line

Re: Charlie Kelman
Interesting interview, and gives a small insight into how things work. QPR approached at the start of the pre-season. They want to see how he goes through it, then they offer him the chance to move (assume they tell him he's unlikely to feature in the first team). Perhaps this will help some realise that it takes time to get the players you want in.

Re: Charlie Kelman
Talking to a QPR supporting mate of mine at work yesterday and he thought Kelman really struggled at Championship level . Whatever happens he would be better off staying with us anyway for the entire season . Better for Charlie and very good for us .BIGRON wrote: Sun Aug 28, 2022 7:17 pm I wonder if he might get called back sometime soon if he continues to shine![]()

Re: Charlie Kelman
His goal scoring record before us (@QPR & Gillingham) was poor for a striker. Richie must have been altered to his ability and wanted him in the building. Kelman (like Idris and like Theo before him) needs a good playing run to prove himself at this level. I think everyone concerned appreciates this and so unless he has an incredible number by xmas (and there's a call back clause) then he's here for the season.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:47 pmTalking to a QPR supporting mate of mine at work yesterday and he thought Kelman really struggled at Championship level .

PS. Then man we saw Saturday was light years away from the one that played at Crawley IMO. The fitness and sharpness, as well as the familiarity of whats expected from him, is very noticeable.

Re: Charlie Kelman
Think it probably helped him that Hartlepool had a poor back 4 and the left back particularly struggled with Kelman in the first half. I think he offers more than Harry Smith as he looks far quicker and sharper.LittleMate wrote: Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:51 pmHis goal scoring record before us (@QPR & Gillingham) was poor for a striker.

Re: Charlie Kelman
Can we take a moment to appreciate the header that set up Ruel for the fourth goal. Unbelievably difficult bit of skill.
