Raymie Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Looks like Mark will be off back to Ireland soon with Dundalk close to agreeing a deal? It's a real shame as I think he is our best defender and has been a model professional in his short time here Edited January 5, 2022 by Raymie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I will be disappointed with that and agree he has been our best defender. That will give us a real headache. Even with Lewis Martin returning he isn't the answer we need at the moment - he has hardly kicked a ball in two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950Par Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thats a real shame, our best defender - hope we have a plan B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 That isn't good news,we definelty need a new centre back in to form a partnership with Donaldson,I wouldn't rely on Breen and Jones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 It's a damming indictment that he's apparently our best defender, his marking and positional play leave allot to be desired. Defence didn't get any better with him in the team instead of Watson. Shouted allot and looked angry which seemed to help persuade our fans that he was showing passion, and his mistakes were then swiftly glossed over. We seemed to have had a carousel of centre backs this season, and I honestly wouldn't say I've noticed Connelly looking much better than the average, cheerio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosythpar Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think Yogi was pretty confident about keeping Connolly till the end of the season,this will be a big blow to his plans. This will surely be one of our busiest January windows ever? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livipar2 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I may be in the minority but I don’t think he is that great. Certainly has the right attitude and looks like he actually cares though. I would prefer to keep him especially given the lack of options in Jan generally.

kelty_par Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Regardless if he goes or not, the fact we have to sign so many players in January is disgraceful. Whoever sanctioned the summer signings should hang their heads in shame, literally every signing has been so poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK we don't have a DoF or head of recruitment that oversees transfers*, and quite rightly the board aren't going to step on the managers toes providing it's within budget. *I wish we did though!

We do have a chief scout and I’m sure meggle would’ve potentially helped with transfers? With the style we were attempting to play it certainly seems like he had some influence, as I’d never seen Alloa play like that under Grant Edited January 5, 2022 by kelty_par Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yogi doesn’t know a decent centre half when he has one, then game’s a bogey ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
