That’s all well and good but can he do it on a Tuesday night in Bristol?

Obviously due a season-long loan to Uckfield Town.

Good stats there. I know BHA know how to nurture their young lads but surely he is ripe for a start? He will be a success somewhere and hopefully here.

Always pleased when a young player scores their debut senior team goal. Connolly must be feeling great tonight.

Would love to see him progress further with first team chances.

Thanks AZ.

I have a good feeling about this young man. Hope he gets his chance in a league match soon.

Hes so much better than Ali J and Locadia. It's a joke how much we spent on them when hes been sitting here waiting.

His goal scoring record at whatever level he's been asked to play commands respect, and demands that he at least be around the first team this season; bench rather than starting, sure, but definitely in the frame.
Having said that, I think the second half of the season would be a better time to start bringing him in - I really think he could do with a half season loan first (he's only played a couple of senior league games), as long as he's guaranteed game time. League 1, SPL, abroad. Maybe even USG if no-one else will oblige.

No, I've met @AZ_Gull and he's not quite as tall as that. (Unless HWT is very short.)

Short on ideas how we can rise up the PL league table but, apart from that, 6 foot, so, no.

Cracking pic, that, though. I guffawed. And consequently my ears took a terrible bum boxing

You feel Connelly should have been promoted into the first team nearly 2 years ago while still playing for Mervue United A.F.C. U20, and be playing somewhere in the midfield?



More insight please.
