Scapegoat. We've had a few of those ourselves over the years. Looks like a decent signing to me.

What a left foot Luke Leahy has, described by the Walsall reporter as a "wand". I have not seen anyone like this in the Quarters since Peter Hooper.

Last season I remember keeping an eye on him having read a few good "pirate" reviews. Very tidy footballer. If Cogs can get him battling- it'll be ace signing.

Strange given they are the ones who have watched him week in week out, certainly more so than anyone on here. There's clearly major question marks about several aspects of this signing and he's got a fair bit to prove by the sounds of it. He has nothing to prove to me, apart from is he any good, fit for selection and will he be an asset to the team. Like every single player running out for the first game of the season. The question has to be what player runs out and how is his form - what Sercs is going to show in Aug for instance. But I have to agree I couldn't care what Walsall fans say on their forum about him. I want to see him and how he plays and cheer him on with the rest of the team, when he plays.
We are all giving views and analysis, surely we need to be positive about the guy. Changing clubs has a multitude of influences on a player, his attitude and how he fits. Wont give any examples they are everywhere.
One crunching legal tackle and an early whipped in cross for Nicholls to head home, who gives a flying for Walsalls forum?
Nobody likes a knowall

One crunching legal tackle 😂 That'll be one more than we saw in two years.

Once he’s given his view, for which we all say thank you, he should worry about WFC and bu**** off back to his own forum but he’s hanging around. Just ignore. UTG!

To be fair, there were a lot of similar comments, all over social media, from Walsall fans. You can see he is not rated from them. Most say he can't defend, but is good going forward. Hopefully GC can sort out the defensive side to his game. If he can, we might have a very good player. If he can't, he might end up playing him further forward. Like he did with THD. Or if we are chasing a game we can bring him on, to go more attacking. It's good to have different options. Just need a few more options out wide now.

Shocking signing and Walsall fans were right on their opinions re this guy.
Poor mans Chris Carruthers who wasn’t great either and this bloke is a total waste of budget, I actually think Kelly is better than him.
At fault for a goal at Blackpool and played a part in their first goal today.
Can’t defend, no pace to beat a man, just lobs balls into the box.
Was ever present in a relegated team last season and should have found his way into Div2 with them.

I though both our full backs were awful, but i thought Kilgour was outstanding today.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, I never like signing players for teams who were relegated from the same division. There is usually, not always, but usually a reason they were part of a failing team. Upson & Leahy fit that description perfectly so far

Glad someone said it so I don’t cop it for being negative again 🙄 in recent times two players from relegated sides, both of whom have been underwhelming to say the least. More evidence of a transfer policy that badly needs a re-think.

I'm not Kelly's biggest fan but would also prefer him to Leaky Leahy.

Just saying. To a man they don't rate him and I'm sure they have seen much more of him than you have? I don't care about the opinions of Walsall fans. They seem pretty spot on so far.

I think people were just trying to say that you should at least watch him a few times before you form a judgement rather than slagging off a player you hadn't saw yet based on other's opinions. Now we have all had a chance to see Leahy in action, criticising him on the basis of that is fair game. Agree with your comments on Kelly, can't believe he's not seen even a glimpse of action in this campaign yet.

Kelly always seemed a bit off the pace, however I've seen him head a ball, something Leahy looked incapable of prior to Coventry's first goal. I never like to write a player off so early although the early signs aren't too promising.
