I hope the reason he has not been playing is to give him the best chance to get over his injury and not to see how the defence holds up without him as we have had big money bids for him.

What a horrible thought.
He's the best defender we've got.
Gorkss and Connolly in CD -- best pairing we've got.

I'd agree on that.

Trouble is Hall played well yesterday. he may have to wait to get his chance, through suspensions or injury. He will be more gutted than anyone, about not playing.

Connolly should be at least playing instead of Ramage or borrowdale,it's absolutly crazy!

Due to various reasons I have only seen MC play a handful of times, but every time I have, his ability to win the ball & make a decent pass has impressed me. I know it's very unlikely, but with JMappearing to favour Fitz Hall at CB, would it be feasible to play MC as a defensive CM. The attributes he has would allow us to break play up higher up the field & let our "flair players do what they do. As I said, I think it very unlikely that this will happen but wondered if people who have seen him play alot more than I have think he would be an option in this role?

[Youvebeenrangered]

Imo he plays in defense, thats the strongest point to his game, defending and passing the ball out of defence. His wing play is also very very good.

If JM thinks Hall is good, he needs to see Connolly -- because he is so much better.

I pray to god its because of his fitness and nothing more. Being placed behind Hall, Ramage and Borrowdale is nothing short of staggering. If he was to put in a transfer request I honestly wouldnt be surprised; and the way the club's being run, it would be no less than we deserve.
