Losing Kelly for the rest of the season over him breaking down mid game and not up to par would be tantamount to tactical naivety.
Sure IF and that's a very big if, he plays and we pull off a win people will say it was the right move but in all honesty playing players when it's not just a risk in the sense of how they go but also their individual well being. What if a player gets an injury that puts them out for 3/6/9/12 months or even one that ends a career all on coming back too soon? The risk is simply not worth it IMHO as I've said.
It depends how much value we are putting on the cup I guess.
I would give him as long as possible, but if they have doubts then don't take the chance.
If he can't play though I have no idea how we will line up with Harris and Sanderson cup tied, and if Miloudi gets a ban (don't think he will, but it's possible) we are really stuck. Litten in the halves maybe?
