The mistakes made with Connolly need not be repeated - and that's nothing to do with whether Ferguson goes out on loan or plays an increasing number of games with the first team.Thought there were positives to take from the game, but a bit upset to see our third chalked off.
I do have faith in our young attackers, but don’t feel we should be immediately shouting for Ferguson to start every match. We’ve seen Connolly turn bad fast, and I don’t want to repeat past mistakes. A slow phase in is called for.
With Connolly, it was obvious by the January after that Spurs game - and certainly by the following summer - that he was struggling at PL level and needed to go out and remember how to score a hatful at a lower level; but.......for whatever reason, it didn't happen. We need to get Ferguson right - but what hapened to Connolly has no bearing on it.
