Fire power for the run in

[EBS1980]

Anyone know why DC wasn't even on the bench last night?

 

Should get this guy for the rest of the season: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/barnsley/9456861.stm

Dont think he can can he cos he's already played for 2 clubs this season ?

Would be good on a free - wonder why it hasn't "worked out" for him at Barnsley - it can't be just the lack of goals.

sorry please delete

[Icey Saint]

As he's out of contract is he not a free agent therefore able to sign for anyone ??

[Lighthouse]

Connolly has I think one league goal in a year and a half. He's not fit and he wont bring anything to the team that Barny, Forte, Guly and Lambert don't already have between them.

DC would be fine but the tartan rug keeps getting stuck in the wheels when trying to get on the pitch.

[dickyhale]

managed only four goals in 23 games

Is that him trying to get onto the pitch from the treatment room? 'Tis where he spends most of his time, which is a pity, because.....

.....when he is fit he is a very effective player.

.. he is worse at cards than the physio.

I am going to break with tradition and say that not only does David Connoly spend most of his time in the treatment room, but I don't really think he brings that much to the team when he does play.

The last thing we need is a crocked journeyman in the sunset of his career to come in and **** off the established strike force in the run-in.

Although as Garry O'Connor is 27, he's hardly in the sunset of his career, and he's scored in the Championship recently, which implies he's not crocked either.

 

As noted above, he has played for 2 different clubs who held his registration already this season though, so we can't play him even if we sign him. If it wasn't for that, he'd be ideal in this situation, something to prove, a decent striker at a higher level with no problem signing a short term contract and not long to prove it in. Could be worth a trial in the summer at least.
