    He is. And about 500% more effective when played out wide than down the middle.

    Whilst I don’t disagree about him being a winger he won two penalties last match and caused Salford all sorts of problems the match before

    You get exited too quickly.

    He's not that good.

    And I'm afraid you expect too much, not appreciating the level we are at.
    Connelly is quick and gets goalside of the defender when he needs to.
    Although I have a lot of time for you Fordy and think you are right to expect the highest standards of players who wear the City shirt, sometimes you show your lack of understanding of the game.

    I actually agree - fastest player I remember, that pace is useful and defenders struggle with it.

    However he hasn't delivered a single accurate cross or shot, has he?

    Did well to cut back to Palmer against Mansfield for the first pen - but I absolutely agree his delivery is non league standard - it's just when it's all balanced out, he's a league two quality winger and an exciting player.

    You can’t teach pace, but you can improve passing and crossing technique. I’d be much happier he be our player than the oppositions.

    I like him and his passion. Wouldn’t be disappointed to see sign permanently.

    If I remember correctly he put it on a plate for Pritchard to score against Salford.
    That said I know his end product could improve, but in the meantime I am happy for him to continue being a complete nuisance to defenders, but preferably on the wing
