Welcome Matthew Pennington

I don't massively disagree with any of that, other than he's not as slow as some make out. Other than that I think he might be a starter because he's the only natural left sided CB and GA has always picked him when fit. All that said I would be more than happy if one of new signings is good enough to keep him out of that position....I just can't see which one it might be.

 

Yes definitely didn’t need a crib sheet.

 

Time will tell. I think he's better than you do.
I won't be stunned at all. GA has always picked him when fit.

 

In L2 with a different crop of CBs.

 

Yes, in League 2. He never had a spell out of the team when fit.
All other CB's, bar Baldwin, had spells out of the team.

Let's see. I think he's good and you don't . We'll know a lot more in 3 months time.

 

He’s a system player. No discredit to him, he’s great at the things he’s good at but poor at the things he’s not. As long as his shortcomings are covered and we play to his strengths, he’l be an asset

 

Don’t you see the issue .? A lot of us don’t think he won’t be first choice . You still haven’t challenged any of the reasons why I said he won’t be that first choice yesterday , yet you carry on arguing differently .

 

Tilt is left footed .

 

You're either remembering incorrectly or just making it up.

He was in the squad for 24 league games last year, he started 16 and was on the bench for 8.

 

I don't see the issue. I've got a different opinion to you.
I think he's a rock solid defender.

As I said, we'll know a lot more in 3 months.

 

He had two lengthy spells of injury.

He was the 'go-to' guy. GA's words not mine.

 

Ah you're right then.

I just had absolute facts from a statistics website but if you've got a random quote then I concede, you must have been right.

Has Sarcevic dropped a few levels for another promotion shot yet?

 

but according to Salford fans not comfortable on the left of a 3, I believe from what has been said.
Don't get me wrong, I would love Tilt to be a top class LCB and relegate Kelly to back up, but I'm not sure he is

 

Cant you recognise spin , “There are things he needs to improve on “ said GA after only offering him a one year deal.
If the club were confident he’d progress he would certainly get more than a year …right?

 

Correct. I am right. GA's quote is very clear.

GA clearly likes Kelly as a player. I do too. You clearly don't.
Let's see how things pan out in the new season.

I gave my opinion on Sarcevic and I still wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't with us at the end of the window.

 

We arnt debating the rights or wrong of Tilt , the discussion is based on this phrase. “Kelly will be first choice in the backline. ( of 3 ) .

 

He signed a year because he missed half the season injured. You can't blame the club for not wanting to take a risk on 2 years.

We'll ignore that he's the 'go-to' defender and focus on the 'there's things he needs to improve'.

Don't all League One footballers 'need to improve'? If they didn't need to improve they wouldn't be playing for Bradford City.

 

No. Stop spinning.

Twice you commented that he always starts when fit. The stats prove you're wrong.

For what is worth, I didn't even offer an opinion on him as a player either, you also made that bit up.

 

Salford played 4 at the back . This is there line up against us last season

4-3-3

Hang on you are trying to have your cake and eat it using quotes from GA.

He’s a go to defender , yet accept he’s injury prone hence his one year deal, so how is he the “ go to defender” if he’s not selected or indeed injured .
