No, he's just come up with a cunning plan.

From what i've seen, I would prefer Dick Towell on the bench over Akpom

He's not fat
I had to google that. Never heard of a "glute problem" before.

Anybody has to be an improvement on what Akpom showed v Blackburn.

Absolutely no chance. He's 17 and has never played a single minute of professional football. Tuesday night will have 28/29K fans there in one of the most high pressured home games for the Albion in thirty years. Hughton has Towell, and the options of playing Murphy/March behind Murray/Hemed if Baldock is still unfit. Unlikely Akpom will be dropped completely. Hughton has more patience with his players than NSC.

Every single player in our team had never played a single minute of professional football (well, senior professional football) at one time. Not saying that this is definitely the time to bring Connolly on to the bench, but everybody has to make their debut sometime. CH may well have good reasons for not doing so, but the fact that he's never played for the first team before is just a fact, not in itself a reason.

All of this. We really don't need to be building up a kid who's been with us 9 months already. James Tilley and JFC are an excellent example on how not to just throw kids in at 16 and then have them disappear for a year or two. Bring him in properly when he's ready which obviously isn't now.

Connolly is obviously a rare talent, but he was brought over for U18's. The fact he is playing for the U21's is proof of his potential, but I doubt he is training with the senior squad, so would have no knowledge of 1st team tactics and positional play.
His time will come, and I cant wait to see him cos he seems to be a little gem
I agree with you. But saying that's what I'd like to see.
Rather have an U23 player bombing around closing down opposition, than an Arsenal U23 who remains fairly static for 60 mins.

It isn't lying, it's keeping the opposition guessing and possibly messing with their game plan.
Frankly he'd be daft to give out any information that helps our opponents out, so yes on occasion he'll "massage" the truth and who can blame him.
Well if he says he thinks he will be fit, but that's not what he thinks, then it is a lie. Which is fine with me.
