Made one decent pass in the whole game and even his set piece delivery was generally poor. Watched a different game to me, obviously the opposition were poor but thought he was the only player on the pitch confident and able enough to switch play quickly. He had a spell in the second half when he hit 3/4 near perfect crossfield balls in a five minute period. He messed up his only decent free kick opportunity by trying to go under the wall and hitting Duffy but his corners were threatening all night, far better than the couple Brady took when he came on. Was no more than a steady performance but by no measure could it be described as horrendous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe... if he's cheap then he'll be a decent midfield filler. Could say the same about McGinn too. He'll be one of the surprise packages for the rest of the league I imagine.

Dr_Pangloss Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I doubt he will be playing all that much, not from the start at least. Will be a good squad option, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made one decent pass in the whole game and even his set piece delivery was generally poor. Not one bit of movement Infront of him the whole game , he switched play at times during the game (if pirlo played some of ball cross field the whole world would be raving about the performance), This Irish team lacks a McGinn/Grealish type player so badly, we all know what Connor is and he is not that His midfield partner Hendrick was so poor and offered him nothing, his left wing back Stevens kept giving away possession, his left winger McLean kept drifting in the field to tight areas where there was no pass on , Hogan and mcgoldrick were bloody awful and Hogan was offside every time something opened up, this left one pass to the right wing where Coleman and Robinson worked hard.. For me he was 3rd best player on pitch, not a brilliant display but did very little wrong, to call him horrendous was horrendous in its self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen anything higher than a 5.5 tbh. General consensus seems to be he didn’t look so effective playing deeper than in previous games. Which sounded a spookily familiar refrain. While I’m here, although this wasn’t a point made by you, I would just say to people saying hopefully he won’t be starting, be good off the bench, etc., if he’s not good enough to start, he’s not good enough to be on the bench. We need competition for places in the first team squad. No passengers. (edit - not that I have ever bought in to the negativity about Conor on these pages.)

HalfTimePost Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) It's getting a bit weird that we haven't announced the lengths of any contracts. Could almost understand when it's new players but it's weird to announce he's signed a new contract with a mystery length Edit: I'm very happy he's signed a longer deal, I'm surprised people think he won't make it in the Prem. He'll make 20-25 appearances this year and be a decent player for us for two or so seasons Edited July 13, 2019 by HalfTimePost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 13, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2019 Good news that he has signed, he is a valuable asset and player. I don’t expect him to be a key player next season but he will get plenty of game time and be an important squad player, he also seems like a great pro. Its good to see the club actually on top of these things for once. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Deserves his new contract and pleased for him. Think he'll pop up with a few important goals this coming season. Did we really sign him for 1.5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2019 Another mind-numbing interview. What about the poets, Connor? The post-Brexit trade deals? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyg Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Pleased for him.... he was really important to us the back end of last season and I think he will only get better under Smith and his system. He will be just as important this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Glad we are keeping hold of him as he’s a good squad player. Will rarely start in league games, but will get game time. He will start cup games no doubt. He can produce some magical moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
