    Connelly has his place in a squad. His pace is useful if you're playing on the counter attack late in the game against tired defenders or if you have a dark age manager like Bowyer whose entire game plan is boot it long and hope the fast lad does something.

    However, if you're a possession based side, which I expect us to be, he's useless. Most teams will sit deep, leaving no space in behind and you need players with technical quality to break them down. Connelly's final ball is very poor so he offers nothing in that regard.

    I'd take him back as a squad player, for instances where he would be useful, but McCall has already given the roadrunner role to DMH, which leaves no space anymore for connelly.

    I'd say out of both of them, they both have pace and Connolly is probably faster. However i think DMH has better crossing abilities and in league 2 a good delivery is worth it's weight in gold. Look at how Doyle was delivered to every week at Swindon and the dross he got here. I can't seem to really remember Connolly whipping the ball in, however from what I saw of DMH he did put a few good crosses in when he got the chance to play. Added to that he is a home grown player I think.

    Is DMH really going to be starting?

    I mean, really?

    I don't think he's anything like good enough so far. Nothing stands out about him. He is half the player Connolly is, and Connolly us just an athlete.

    Parker mentions him as one of the new senior pros?

    Bolton are after Charlie Adam's and Graham Carey, surely they must be close to the 1.5m salary cap before they sign anybody else.

    I’d have Connolly if we didn’t already have Ismail and DMH. Seems a waste otherwise. Not much more to say on it than that

    I'd love Carey here, exactly what we're missing.

    Yeah no doubt.

    We released him a few years ago, he played some reserve games at a place that trained up Omari Patrick, then we signed him again.

    I still have no idea why.

    He was, not sure if he's left but maybe he wants to return home.

    He's out of our equation if the likes of Coventry and Bolton are interested.

    Also linked with Dundee. It sounds like his agent is putting his name about to get him a deal right now, because I can't see him going to L2.
