Got to say what a cracking signing by MM, I suppose we could have a thread on most his signings but what a big asset this lad is.
Now I havent seen how Keogh perform for Derby so dont know but id be surprised if he would have been as much of an asset to us as Connally has been.
If you think of him as a replacement for Blake then its a masterstroke of a deal.

Connolly was my MOM today. Solid and added another goal.
Won everything in the air and composed and strong on the deck.
Hudson pushed him close mind

Completely agree, I thought he was quite poor to begin with but he's turned out to be a great signing, great performance today.

I went to Bristol and it was a disaster, felt a bit sorry for him this game though and could see what he was trying to do but it wasn't working.
Been excellent and he comes across very well in the post match interview

Conn trick sinks Boro

Cardiff%20City
Cardiff recorded a ninth straight home win to climb above opponents Middlesbrough with a 1-0 victory.
The Welsh side edged ahead just before the 20-minute mark when recalled defender Matthew Connolly found space at the back post to head home his fourth goal of the season from Peter Whittingham's right-wing cross.
Tony Mowbray's men were almost on level terms after 31 minutes when Argentinian midfielder Emanuel Ledesma struck a dipping drive which cannoned off the crossbar.
The visitors had another good opportunity to restore parity on the stroke of half-time when Lukas Jutkiewicz's blocked shot rebounded into the path of Scott McDonald, but the Australian striker fired over.
Malky Mackay's side almost doubled their advantage when Whittingham's low free-kick travelled through a crowded penalty area and almost caught out Boro keeper Jason Steele 10 minutes from time.
Jutkiewicz then blazed over when clean through late on as the Bluebirds hung on for victory.
- Connolly knows what it takes to go up as he has done it in the last few seasons
