Love this lad.
He can defend. But also in possession he's brilliant. Its not risky balls passes. But simply making himself avaliable and quickly moving it on. He's like a sweeper-Xavi. A defender like this is rare.

Agreed. He’s shone even more this season coming out of Taylor’s Shadow and early season when he wasn’t available. Fantastic signing all round and I’m surprised Cardiff let him go .

Forgot he was ours, not a loan. Great bit of business. Plus Rossiter and hopefully McCormick comes good too.

Only just turned 21.
Played 33+2 times since debut in January 2022.
16 clean sheets in games played.
Mostly last season alongside CT.
Composed, confident and aggressive he seems to make time for himself on the ball.
Makes very few mistakes and passes intelligently.
Delighted we were able to sign him.
Hopefully, his back issues are all over.

Yes I love Connolly as well. He’s a bit like Finley in that he does a solid, no frills job and appears to go under the radar. He just gives a 7/8 out of 10 nearly every match and one of those players who you only notice what a good job he does when he’s injured and you realise how much you miss him and see the impact of his absence.
What’s really good is that we’ve had several threads devoted to individual players which say a very similar thing. That they are all playing an important part and have a great attitude and team ethic. Iirc we’ve had threads on Connolly, Collins, Coburn, Rossiter, Loft, Finley and Harry A. I’m sure I’ve missed someone who’s been as good. It’s been good to see so many of them sign longer contracts and some extensions. It almost appears a long-term plan. 😉
JB has collected, signed a great group of players who appear to sign into the club and what he’s trying to do. Well done to JB and all those in the background.
UTG!

When he first came here I was prejudiced slightly because he looked SO young. Maybe I’m just getting old.
He’s got it all.
Heard someone saying we are getting Connor Taylor on loan, would love to see that pairing again in L1 this time.

Gibson looks class, Thomas has done well, Beefy we know is first on the team sheet I think if he’s available we have to show intent, maybe even try and sign on a permanent JB sure has an eye for a player, let’s hope a few gems arrive in Jan and we keep hold of Azza UTG

If we’re going to strengthen in January and I hope we do then we need a central midfielder more than another defender I reckon. Coutts isn’t getting any younger and we really don’t want to be using Westbrooke ever again.

One injury and we don't have sufficient cover to play thee same style. Gibbons could possibly cover but not sure anyone else could especially if we want to keep playing out from the back.

I’d buy him for that but it’s not my money !

Thomas will go back to Burnley unless of course they get promoted and then who knows? Connor Taylor on loan or maybe even permanent In January -?

Well worth a bid to sign Taylor on a permanent basis but I wouldn’t personally want a short loan.

Surely it's time to take the plunge and buy up Westbrooke's contract in January, if he couldn't even get game time last night?

I doubt he’d even get a league club now as he’s been so poor . What a fall from grace he’s had .
