I will not slate any player but if you look back to the 6-2 derby game early on the Dees were in the ascendancy and to be fair i never thought a hammering was on the cards.

After the match the opinion of many Dees was the game changed when Connolly went off injured,it has to be said he was having a shocker and could have given away two penalties.

I have stuck up for him on here and posted a thread to salute his commitment to the cause but his achilles heel is the sheer panic he spreads throughout the whole team when under pressure.

There is no doubt in my mind that if we were to lose Shankland and start with Reynolds and Connolly in defence we will be in a relegation battle from August onwards.

What annoys me about Connolly is i think he could still be a decent defender in the Premiership if he could be more composed on the ball,Reynolds has had a good career but his best days were in another decade i'm afraid.
