Connolly (reality check)

Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:03 pm

Seems everyone is up in arms about connolly leaving.. why?

With all our players fit he is just a back up player. Someone warming the bench collecting wages which could be reasonably high off the club. Good squad player but aint the end of the world when peltier is fit he will be back on the bench so why the fuss. Oh yeh i get it another reason to have a bash at vincent tan!

Couldn't disagree more. Connolly should be in the centre alongside Manga. Connolly has got promoted from the Championship on 3 occasions for 3 different clubs. He will probably make that 4 occasions with 4 different clubs now he's joined Watford. Connolly is not just a back up player, he will go straight into Watford's team and improve them. It's a shocking decision to allow him to leave.

Our third choice CB is now Gabbidon, think about that.

Maybe its time to give youth a chance, a young hungry player on lower wages than connolly. Come on its not the end of the world connolly is easily replaceable.

Being in a promotion squad means jack shit. The guy was crap for us at RB the year we went up, and all anyone did is complain. Now he's gone, everyone is saying we've lost our lucky charm or something.

If he's not going to play CB for us, he's better off gone. The guy is a liability at RB,

And what's the alternative now mate? Gabbidon?

I think some people completely undervalue decent squad players And having back up.

I like Connolly more than most and while I wouldn't say yeah put him out on loan the posts and outrage are almost laughable!! What's the worst that can happen? A kid comes in and gains experience :thumbup:
