Not defending any of that team performance tonight but fuck me connolly needs shipping off should never wear a tangerine shirt again.
Was he actually any worse than Marv? CJ? Norburn? To name a fewNot defending any of that team performance tonight but fuck me connolly needs shipping off should never wear a tangerine shirt again.
Agreed !!! Absolutely shite, and Byres' mistake and subsequent ambling back for the goal was a disgrace.Not defending any of that team performance tonight but fuck me connolly needs shipping off should never wear a tangerine shirt again.
The answer is that he is never good and plays ahead of actual footballers.Was he actually any worse than Marv? CJ? Norburn? To name a few
Yes!Was he actually any worse than Marv? CJ? Norburn? To name a few
Not saying he’s the sole reason but as soon as I saw his name on the team sheet from critch I knew what kind of night it would be.Not the reason we lost tonight. You can look elsewhere for that.

I'm coming over like a one man Connolly appreciation society on multiple threads tonight but I do honestly appreciate his limitations. I think he does too, but he's always honest. It's the players that bottle it and take the safe option, that can't pass properly because they can't control their nerves that wind me up. As for the fister, don't even get me startedNot saying he’s the sole reason but as soon as I saw his name on the team sheet from critch I knew what kind of night it would be.
I think sadly we all did, lots of texts will have been sent saying one doom filled word. CONNOLLY!!!!Not saying he’s the sole reason but as soon as I saw his name on the team sheet from critch I knew what kind of night it would be.
One thing to add as well he’s our highest earner on 5-6k a week. I’m just hoping Simon isn’t daft enough to consider renewing his deal.I'm coming over like a one man Connolly appreciation society on multiple threads tonight but I do honestly appreciate his limitations.

Apart from Pennington that back 3 are not very good a passing the ball when they’ve got a centre forward attacking midfielder and two wingers coming at you in waves mistakes will happen. These wingers we have do they offer anything defensively? I like Gabriel but he does have his moments Hamilton offers nothing forward or backwardsThe back 3 were awful on the ball all night and they always are. The defenders in our squad haven’t got an ounce of composure between them.

Gabriel was the catalyst on Saturday with his energy, and once he went off tonight, we had nothing. Everything good came down the right.Apart from Pennington that back 3 are not very good a passing the ball when they’ve got a centre forward attacking midfielder and two wingers coming at you in waves mistakes will happen.

YepOur worst player is the highest earner?
He's not a great squad player. That would be someone who comes in and does a decent job. He doesn't. He's an absolute liability. Despite not playing for a couple of weeks, he looked the most tired. They were going past him as if he wasn't there by the end. Complete liability.Agree as soon as I saw his name
I feel for him tho as critch just throws him in from nowhere... critch is to blame.
Connelly is great squad player but he gets put in ahead of other players that he shouldn't be... media need to ask critch why
He’s our most valuable player according to article I read earlier tbf he wasn’t the worst tonight but he gets the most stick my phone blew up when team was announcedNot defending any of that team performance tonight but fuck me connolly needs shipping off should never wear a tangerine shirt again.
Callum Connolly left centre half is marginally better than him left wing-back which are both completely bizarre selections.A couple of things stick out for me.
One is that a player who is labelled 'utility' needs to get rid of that label by showing he's good enough to nail down one position. CC hasn't done that. Which says plenty.
The other is thata player who is very one footed was played on his weaker side, when we had an alternative option on the bench who would have played on his strong side, yet went unused all night.
Critchley has hung Connolly out to dry the way he's used him this season,totally unnecessaryCallum Connolly left centre half is marginally better than him left wing-back which are both completely bizarre selections.
I’m guessing it’s because he’s been captain elsewhere and a senior pro but the guy gets exposed every single game he plays.
Yep I don’t disagree but bar for a sitting midfielder in a 3 who’s basic on the ball I’m not sure there’s a spot for him in the team where his flaws won’t be exposed.Critchley has hung Connolly out to dry the way he's used him this season,totally unnecessary
Aye he's not really fit for purpose, should have gone out on loan in January if Critchley really wanted to help his careerYep I don’t disagree but bar for a sitting midfielder in a 3 who’s basic on the ball I’m not sure there’s a spot for him in the team where his flaws won’t be exposed.
He probably did, he does an awful lot of holding.In Connolly’s defence, he looked a lot better the season he played as a holding midfielder.

Watch the Derby home game again and if that’s his best position then it’s a struggle.His best position is right side of a back 3. But Pennington is better so...

He’s an honest pro and imagine he’s good in the changing room amongst our set of Boy Scouts & school prefects coached by the Milk Monitor but we need players who are good footballers as well as having some balls.
Yep spot on, the best position bitJust because it's his best position it doesn't mean he's good at it...
And I reckon you're right about the rest and that's his 'big strength'. Which sums up the muddled thinking that seems better our recruitment and coaching approach for the last couple of seasons.
I thought he did OK at RB in a back four last season which I think is his best position but this system is just too much for him to adapt tooJust because it's his best position it doesn't mean he's good at it...
