thorpie the sinner Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Went last night and was ecstatic about trip to Wembley! I was in agreement with Fitzhugh though about our standard of performance esp in the second half! A better team would have put us under real pressure!!! I remember thinking at the 2-2 Norwich game just what a good team we had the potential to be!! Even though Norwich put us under real pressure, we played some fantastic attacking football that day and scored one of the goals of the season through Connolly. In fact on the day, his link up play with Lallana was a joy to watch! No offense to Ricky who is a goal poacher extraordinaire or to papa who worked his nuts off last night, but we just seemed to be lacking that spark last night and in the last few games. That spark was David Connolly!! Just hope we see him back soon as we strive to achieve the impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints foreva Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 I thought we played some nice stuff, right up until the 2nd goal. After that it appeared the players set their eyes on the Pompey game. Less challenges were going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedyfly Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Any further news on Connelly other than the generic crap on the OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 completely agree. Connolly is easily our best player and he adds so much quality when he plays. His movement off the ball is top drawer and his finishing is second to nobody in this league. A wasted talent really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 completely agree. Connolly is easily our best player and he adds so much quality when he plays. His movement off the ball is top drawer and his finishing is second to nobody in this league. A wasted talent really His style of play (and unfortunately his injury record ) remind me very much of Marian Pahars His goal against Norwich , where he cut in from the wing and curled a superb shot past the keeper from outside the box seemed to be a carbon copy of Marian's goal against Skatesmuff all those years ago. It would be great for him to be able to feature and come on as a supersub and score our 3rd goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Any further news on Connelly other than the generic crap on the OS? I hear he is expected to resume training in a week or two . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumush Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 I hope when he does return he is used purely as an impact sub. That way he may last the rest of the season and may just fire us into the top 6 - ever the optimist!! He is though, the touch of class we have badly missed of late.
