My Dad's verdict from the game: "Looked lively, nice first touch and got around a bit, I like him."

 

Football is a game of opinions.

 

I'm all for opinions, but basing an extreme opinion like that (based on 30mins) is madness and does my head in.

 

Saw more positive from him than negative today anyway. Lot more to come.

I agree. He didn't score a hattrick on his debut, then use his signing on fee to open a children's hospital, so we don't want him at the club. That goes for Sharp too, couldn't even be arsed to play tonight. Sharp and Lee out. :rolleyes:

Amazing.....I thought his running added loads to our play and he linked up well. What exactly did Connolly offer tonight?

What has Barnard offered this year?

 

Harsh, Barnard's been injured most of the season. Connolly is a different class when he's on form, sadly that hasn't been for quite some time.

give him time. He needs to settle into the team, our style of play, and most importantly - the country. QUOTE]

 

That summarises my view on him,and response to the original post.

 

As for comparisons,Connolly seems only able tp play three games before he needs to be rested,and Barney - not yet fit anyway - is also untried at this level.

Very quick, get's the ball, lays it off and then speeds forward looking for a return. Impressed with what I saw. Needs to stay down for a little longer if he gets tackled like that next time. He could have got their player a yellow if he'd done that :)

 

You are telling me he is a fair sportsman. No, don't take that from him..... Curse my idealism... But I like that!

He was faster than I expected and has a good first touch. Considering the obvious cultural and language barriers I was impressed by this early showing against one of the leagues better teams.

 

Sharp and Lambert will be first choice but I'm more than happy with him as an option off the bench. Will be interesting to see what his finishing is like under pressure.

errr ok then.

 

I don't get fans like you, no perspective on anything and everything is decided on snap points. I.e one game, one defeat, one performance.

 

He was actually pretty lively.

 

De Ridder, Forte and Ngeussan are also pretty lively, And your point is ? Its just my opinion. I think is just a far east PR Machine Did you notice all the flashy camera men when he came on. Or where they all from Sky Sports ?

Get a grip.

i only listened to the game on radio and tbh hardly ever heard conolloy mentioned atall in first half and not much more in the second.when lee came on he sounded more dangerous and impressed both merrington and the comentator. still he has only played 60min football in a new and very tough league with new team mates so lets give him alittle longer shall we.

Connolly was far worse, he got completely marked out of the game. If the OP had bothered to watch, he'd have noticed Lee attempt on a number of occasions to make a run between the centre back and wing back, towards goal. Sadly our midfield and defence didn't pick these runs up, which is understandable considering he is new to the club.

 

I actually thought he was very exciting.

He gave a bit of his own back too which I enjoyed!

I liked he made himself out to be a bit powder puff, a matter of moments later he has cleanly wiped out a player bigger than him.

For the first time out he certainly looks like he could be a bit of handful, seems to be intelligent with it............. OP has his maggot in the water waiting for a bit.

I've seen Connolly go missing more than I've seen him play well for us. Maybe I've seen the wrong games, but I don't get the praise he gets. Sometimes he looks a good finisher, but he misses some really good chances too, but most of all to me he's just not involved enough. Was surprised he started tonight after the Leicester performance and other options.

 

Would be surprised if we see him again for a while. Lee will probably keep coming off the bench for a while then maybe start v Millwall. Sharp probably straight in, and Guly miles ahead of Connolly.

 

Really makes you wish there were 7 places on the bench again.

 

Guly deserves more respect and for me is better than connolly now.

Connolly put in a hell of a shift at the end of last season for the promotion push. I cant see many Saints fans forgetting that, which is probably why he gets a lot of credit on here.
