What's your thoughts on Alan Connell now chaps. How's he getting on. I notice that he's popping up with a few goals here and there.

I thought that we would miss Al when he went but we've unearthed another gem now in Liam Hearn who's top scorer in the BSP at the minute.

Good luck for the rest of the season, hope that you go up and hopefully we'll get back in the league next season.

He plays better for 45 (or less!) coming on as a sub then when he starts. I don't know about his goals but I would say the majority are from coming on as a sub. He is certainly our number 2 behind Benson and puts himself about well and can score with head or feet equally well.

He's decent enough as his goals show but I wish he could show it over 90mins he seems to lack concentration when not under pressure.

How much for Liam Hearn?

Imo he sets the standards for the rest of the squad.Never hear him moaning,works hard and always has a smile on his face even when dropped.I think others have seen this and learnt it is the best way.

I also think that of the other options he seems to be the one that plays best with Benson

We did well to hold onto him on transfer deadline day. I think it's only because we are going to get around £600k from Ryan Bennetts transfer from Peterborough to Norwich that he didn't go.

Not sure how true it is but we allegedly turned down a £500k bid for him on transfer deadline day.

We certainly are. Took us a while to get going (a bit like yourselves) but 10 wins and 2 draws in the last 12 games have given us a great shout of making the play-off. It's in our hands and at this stage of the season that's all you can ask for really.

Correct,lot of respect for the bloke and the two goals early doors v Rotherham were pivotal.....we we 2-1 down on the box and his cameo from the subs bench was vital.

He's definitely a big game player...2 against Rotherham, Shrewsbury. Great header against Wigan in the cup.

Always seems to be in the right place at the right time on the big occasion, and keeps his composure.

Having watched him closely, his ability to make a yard of space in the box is quality - and shows the benefits of plenty of lower league experience.

Good to hear that he's still doing well. It's not often you get a player with the attitude and likeability of Connell. Here's hoping he keeps scoring the goals for you.

I must say that I have kept an eye on your results this season and Paolo has definitely entertained me this season. Grin
