If you were to ask me where I think Connolly swhould be playing I would say this.
I would spend the rest of the season grooming Matt as a holding midfielder with Faurlin playing in front of him. The ideal manager who could have done this was Paulo Sousa, as I believe it was a position he used to play back in his hey day.
When Mahon sits in front of the back four we can see what a difference it makes to shape of the team and the organisation of the defence. Now take Connolly a player with better defensive qualities than Mahon, better composure on the ball who is also quicker and you have a good player who can be become a great player in a position where great players are hard to find.
Our season is over, I don't care what anyone says so throw Connolly into a holding midfield position, give Hogey, Balanta & German a run in the team as well and lets start building for the future for once.Last edited by W12_Ranger; 18-01-2010, 05:43 PM.Comment

I think he would be excellent in that position. Graham Alexander was fabulous for Burnley playing in front of the back 4 and he could definitely do that role.If you were to ask me where I think Connolly swhould be playing I would say this.

I love the 4-2-3-1 formation and in the long term I would love to see Connolly alongside either Mahon or Rowlands. But with problems in the back 4 and no full backs I don't believe a manager will try Connolly in a different position.Comment
