Good news on Connolly

[stainrodisalegend]

Says on News Now he is back in contention for a starting place against Newcastle. Great news if true as feared he wd be out for a long stretch. Much more comfortable than Stewart, as shown by the clumsy penalty on Sat. Hope Magilton makes the change if Connolly is totally fit and ready.

Fingers crossed this news is accurate.

Yes I would prefer Connelly.
I know they have 2 big players upfront but I think Ameobi is the main aerial threat and Gorkks can deal with that, so yes drop stewart and he makes to many silly mistakes and bring back Connelly as they are our best pairing.

We need to be careful about their Centre Backs as well. Steven Taylor is excellent in the air at set pieces. Never thought we looked comfortable defending set pieces against Barnsley

connolly was excellent in centre for us....

i can see one game where we go/try 3-5-2 with
cerny
connolly stewart gorkss
wayne buzza watson rowly cook
vine simpson

as we have 3 guys who could make it work....

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

Absolutely BRILLIANT news if true!!

Whilst I would like to this system tried out against a lesser team, I dont think WR or LC offer enough defensive cover and the better teams with the better wingers coul exploit that easily. However it looks pretty impressive going forward

I may be wrong as I haven't checked today, but isn't Ameobi still injured?

If so, Carroll and Ranger, (as good as they are) aren't really on form. I don't think either defence will have too much trouble dealing with the strikers. This is a game that will be won and lost in midfield.

Ameobi is long-term injured.

It wouldn't surprise me. He was at the match on Saturday and I saw him walking in from the car park up the road. There didn't look like there was anything wrong with him t.b.h.

[Morris]

Sorry peeps but spoke to Connolly on Saturday and hes out for another month im afraid.

He didnt look well atall, surprised he was at the match tbh.

[Youvebeenrangered]

Ranger, and carroll are nothing special! Stewart and gorkks will dominate them!

Amazing news on connolly if he is getting fit again!! 100% id have him instead of stewart..

[SM1882]

Another month eh Morris?

Good news IMO, I had heard you could be out for a 'few months' with that fever.

One month without Connolly isn't too bad... could be far far worse.

Hey, its not your fault

Well I was gearing myself up for him to be out for about 5-6 months. So to hear he will only be out for 1 month (with a 2 week break after this Saturday) is fairly good news in my eyes.
