Connolly

Sun Sep 13, 2015 11:21 am

When he was loaned to Watford last season I thought that would be the last we see of him. But fair play to him he's come back and secured his place in the team and been superb so far. Hes even keeping Manga out to. Credit to him for that. :bluescarf:

Both centre half a were under pressure yesterday with Manga on the bench.

Connolly stepped up to it and showed Slade he can't be dropped.
Morrison though looked nervous and conceded possession far too often.

My only concern was again Connolly was beaten a couple of times in the air.

I have always liked him, he just needed a decent run in the team, :bluescarf:

Has to stay the same as they haven't conceded whatever weaknesses we think we saw.

Would consider playing him in midfield instead of Whittingham, who again is strolling through games

Wouldn't say he's keeping Manga out, Bruno was probably shattered after the week he's had

Connoly was class yesterday always comfortable on the ball. :thumbright: :sladein: :ayatollah:

Connolly is superb, doesn't get the credit he deserves

Re: Connolly

Would also bring him into midfield, drop Pilkington or Whits, bring in Bruno at c b.

My man of the match yesterday. Won every challenge and distributed well. Made 2 crucial goal saving blocks in the first half one after another too. I also thought Dikgacoi was an unsung hero, but Ameobi changed the game when he came on. I was struggling to see where a goal was going to come from until Ameobi came on the pitch.

It's an odd mentality isn't "this bridge hasn't imploded yet, sure it looks like it might collapse, but it hasn't yet so just leave it."

Morrison is terrible, Manga is our best CB and Conolly has arguably been our player of the season so far, such an advantage having a CB comfortable on the ball.

Whitts strolling through games, Conolly as a midfielder :lol: :laughing5: :laughing5: that's got to be the worst post on this board since that guy said Beckham was coming.

I mean there's squad rotation, there's square pegs and round holes. Then this, well I am baffled.

Re: Connolly

Sorry Connolly is not a midfielder. He's a good centre half and does a job at right back. Think that's it for him. Manga and Connolly for me centre halfs.

Do we stick with Morrison until we lose or get Manga in so we don 't ?Think Manga and Connolly are best two if we want to play out of defence.Will Turner play if these two stay fit?Absolutely love Turner's passion and work rate but have we moved on not lumping ball forward .

No need to change a winning team, unless through injuries.
