Well the Grimsby fans are gutted to lose him, so I wouldnt have thought he was THAT shit and has scored many more goals at league level than Birchall.
And hes been scoring goals in sides that aren't very good so witha good service I am confident he will score goals, and he has strengthened up a lot since that picture, was well regarded at Boremuff and Hereford too and scored goals for Brentford as well.

I reserve judgement until i've seen him play a few times. He may turn out alright.
Roll on tuesday.

I wasn't having a pop BTW Reg, just wondered on how the conclusion was reached.
Connell has been around for a good 10 years...in his early days at Bormuff, he was well regarded, but got a very nasty injury, which set him right back. It then looked like he mighty be finished, but came back, not as good. He's played against us a fair few times usually off the bench, to no discernable effect. Fair play to the fella for a good season in the Conference.....but this strikes me as a panic buy. |

A player with that amount of goals last season is not a panic buy. Its buying someone who clearly knows where the goal is.
Let's hope he continues last seasons form here.

He could be a player who has finally shrugged off injury problems, changed his position/role in attack, has just found some form/confidence or even has something settled in his private life. Either way, going on last season's form... if he has a similar season and produces 15+ goals, i'll take that.

The way I feel about it is that Connell will be an excellent signing if we create chances for him, none of this pass side ways midfield lark from last season (douglas).

Reg, Given our status in the world, I thought that Connell was a sensible target for us. I was a bit suprised we had not gone for him sooner. I'm not having a pop - just interested - who do you think we should be going for if he is not right? |

I'd have been happy with Marvin Morgan... |
