Looks like he will be back in training in 2 weeks, though in none contact drills. How long until he is back, beginning to mid March on the bench and maybe April when match fit.
Where does he fit in? On his day I think he is as good as anything we have, if not better. He could certainly do the job the Hewitt does, in actual fact I would go as far as saying Hewitt could become 2nd choice. Obviously this is all dependent on how O’Connor reacts to training and whether he is good enough to hit the ground running and in form. Though it would not be his fault if not.
The final thing to consider is whether he deserves a contract, which gives him added motivation to really impress, whether that be Notts or a future elsewhere. O’Connor has a lot to lose or gain.
Thoughts?
