Will Someone Tell Connell…

Right, let me pick the bones out of that.

Where did I actually accuse you of slagging off anyone? Read the posts, some are critical of Connell.

Here’s what I said ;-

Makes me howl the depths some will plumb to find summat to moan about, and not only that, but Connells poor ‘toss the coinship’ has developed into a thread in which to slag him off for his general play.

You started a thread about Connells choice at coin toss. If you think that had something to do with not winning, then that’s your opinion,I don’t agree with it, but I wouldn’t class it as being overly critical, but some of the posts in reply definitely are.

You really don’t need to tell me how long you’ve been going, or how long you’ve been on the forum. It’s got absolutely no relevance to the fact that you’ve completely misunderstood what ive posted. Not everything’s about you mate. Read the other posts.

 

Fair enough. Let’s leave it there.

 

I doubt you’re in the minority mate.
As you state nobody is beyond having a few bad games but I’d wager that the quieter majority see the value of both just like you. It’s no coincidence that they are the names most often mentioned when anyone talks about saleable assets. Their critics need to be careful about what they wish for.

 

Don't agree with this, but understand where it's coming from.

Connell is massively overrated. Opposition commentators pick him out as our best player, he's consistently picked in a League 1 Team of the Season, and even as best League 1 player of the season, over and over again. I think he was recently picked as one of the best 11 players so far this season by Sky Sports or something.

He's nowhere near. Not even close. I don't know where that reputation has come from.

But he's not crap either. He's alright. I'm glad we've got him. He works hard, he's a nice lad and a decent enough player. But that's it.

 

Can’t fault his effort, don’t get me wrong. And he does seem like a nice lad. But absolutely zero quality.

 

I was saying exactly the same to @Chef Tyke today. He disagreed with me. Like you say, an awful lot of people who are supposed to know a lot more about football than me, seem to rate him very highly indeed. I think he's good but not brilliant, and any suggestions of him playing in the Premier League are absolutely ludicrous. I really hope that I'm wrong.
