I think his thinking would've been for him to act as a sixth defender and play out his box more than Kelly.

Bottom line is, MW just got well and truly out tacticed
This was my thought too. A big idea behind signing him was due to his apparently distribution. We barely saw it in 5 months. But if this was the reason and MW truly believed it, I can sort of see why he'd put him in the XI. The problem was he hasn't been that good at playing out and fans don't like him, he was never going to be backed.
Completely agree with Alby’s view that it would have been for footballing reasons. I’ll also add that Kelly’s propensity to launch it when under no real pressure in the first leg would have earned him a huge black mark in MW’s eyes.
Also, I really wouldn’t be surprised if Marschall is back with us next season.
