Matt Connolly off at half-time?

Matt wasn’t feeling well on Monday and had a migraine as well. We whipped him out of training and he felt better on match day.

He was struggling and drained at half-time. We had to take him off. That was forced on us.

Bruno Manga took over and did well, but was a little rusty on Hull’s second goal, He was caught by a ball just over the top of him. Maybe he should have seen that a little bit better.

Bruno, like everybody in our squad, will work to improve. We have strong competition for places. Certainly, at centre-half, Morrison and Connolly have set high standards.

Connolly has been superb and continued that last night, manga has more class but as a defender he's top notch connoly.

Explains why he let so many balls drop out of the air without going for them then. He didn't look himself.

I can relate. Migraines aren't fun, literally effects your entire day.

Migranes when I have one can have lasting effects for 2 or 3 days. I think connolly has been great this year so far and looks a lot more comfortable with the ball at his feet
