Absolutely need to turn this into a thread about Aaron Connolly.

Yawn yawn yawn

Do you have a poster of him on your wall?

Really pleased with how sharp Tolaj is looking. His recovery has been quite slow and he’s looked (understandably) sluggish but he was really dynamic. I still think, despite the hype around the young two, that Tolaj has a real chance. So physical. Really good brain. Solid finisher.
Moran scores winner.

 

[Swansman]

Lmao. Nice.

 

[Pevenseagull]

tee hee

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Get in haha

 

[WATFORD zero]

Yes !

 

[nordicgod]

Won at the death , good lads

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Good result.

A big drop off in quality when Sarmiento came off.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Excellent stuff, we have some real young talent on our hands. Dropped off a bit towards the end of the second half but weathered the storm well. Good on the club for providing streams as well, this team are great to watch.

Leicester need VAR….oh.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I noticed they had tried to wind up Tsoungai most of the game, Gary Lineker the referee turned a blind eye, or copped a deaf'un to it all. In all fairness, Leicestershire have a few youngsters that could easily grace an upper championship side. They will feel aggrieved, they will learn from it. We had it last week against manure....we learned

Not really, just bit tedious that a lot of threads magically evolve into AC threads. In the end wasnt the case here and all good.

Nice win. Not sure how deserved seeing how they dominated the second half, but its three points.

Looked like the lino played a blinder, about time too after ...










... no me neither.

We won - but it was a bit of a snatch and grab. We didn't have a way to stop their relentless high press, and were just on the receiving end of wave after wave of Leicester attacks, with most of the play (and the players) in our own half. Good defending - even sometimes desperate defending - but it woud have been better if we could have seized control of that game!

Tolaj and Sarmiento (what a goal that was!) looked excellent, as did the two centre backs (they needed to be!)

Thought Ferguson look ok as well. No real drive from midfield though and looked like we always wanted to play that extra ball

 

[Machiavelli]

Quite clearly I meant “when he played for the U23”.

Ps - if you haven’t made it at 21 you probably won’t

I'll enjoy witnessing you say this to Harry Kane.

We could add in Ian Wright, Jamie Vardy, and a few more if you really want them ...

 

[Machiavelli]

I can’t help but wonder if Connolly playing a few games at this level wouldn’t bring him back down to earth a bit and simultaneously help his confidence in front of goal. Surely it would be good for him to get minutes under his belt and stay sharp. Alzate and Taylor Richards too.

I was lucky enough to be at Falmer on Wednesday, and can confidently report that Connolly did not look low on confidence

 

[Machiavelli]

Moran is quality

I note when you posted this

I was cooking so dipped in and out a bit, but we were battered for the last half hour. Amazing character when we went behind.
