I agree with all of the positive comments above.

The lack of a good, consistent, reliable centre-half for several seasons was as big a factor as any in the decline that eventually culminated in us losing our league status. Connell Rawlinson is that good, consistent, reliable centre half and must be considered one of our best value signings for a long time. Not only does he do his own job with an efficient, no-nonsense style, but I think he leads by example and lifts the game of the other defenders playing alongside him, just like Steady Eddy did in his pomp.
