Mark Connolly

We need Connolly's passion on the park. Often he is head and shoulders above the rest with this attribute. Yes he is accident prone when it comes to **** ups, but his team mates should be offering him more support than leaving him to get out of situations himself. The opposition knows full well that to put Connolly under pressure will likely give them a chance in a game to score. Remember too, our highly creative midfield and razor sharp attack has put our defence under more pressure than it should suffer. Generally speaking the defence has borne the burden well.

I don't mind Connolly selling a goal if in return our midfield and forwards can score two. If we have the balance right in the team, he will be under less pressure and the slip ups more easily forgiven and likely less frequent. A Connolly in a 'we only score four' team can be an asset. A Connolly in a 'we cannae score at a' team can be an ass!

Agree with this.

Agree with this.

Connolly displays all the passion of a beheaded chicken and has a similar positional awareness.
Instead of having trust a d being on the front foot, our creative players are constantly on the back foot awaiting his next fuch up, or worse at the back trying to defend his fuch up.
Other than that I also agree
