People consistently bang on about our need for a player who can beat a man but when one of our defenders gets skinned they are up in arms and slating the defence. We are not and are never going to be the best team in this division. We operate in a limited market when it comes to who we can afford and who we can attract to the club. Connolly is part of the best central defensive partnership we've had in the last 5/6 seasons, settle down and don't expect perfection. If defenders were all world class and never got skinned, or outpaced or just occasionally ****ed up then football would be pretty boring.
