I feel, as things stand, Kelly is growing into this role with every game... He has notably become more vocal and stepped in where needed, between ref and players...
There is a telling quote in that DorsetLive article from Cahill, that having the responsibility of the armband will only accelerate Kelly's progression... I think we've seen that this season already, so why would you want to stifle that, or even reverse that, for the sake of giving it to Cahill, who has had one game with us and whilst he looked very assured, is not the future of this club... He's been there and done it... As AFCBade points out, he clearly doesn't need the armband to perform...
