Haven't seen any of the game yet but made up for the lad, there's been a few of us quietly singing his praises all season. When playing in defense hes always had a remarkable ability to get into the box and score goals both for Everton and England - he's in mark contrast to Galloway who also gets into the box a lot but unlike him Connolly appears at the right spot at the right time to score or earn a penalty. What has become apparent is that this season he's developed physically as well and can play any position across the back four. He hasn't actually played that many games at right back, a few for the u21s when they wanted to play Matty Foulds at left back, and 3 games for Barnsley , but being two footed is a great attribute he has. Someone should do a compilation of his goals this season, it includes a superb right footed strike from about 25 yds when playing left back.

For an 18 year old defender he's got everything in his locker as they say. He's clearly got a future in the game , just a question of at what level and it may take another 18 months to ascertain this. Please handle him properly Everton .

Spot on mate, he's only come to my attention by the likes of you and a couple of other good folk who post about the u21's and links and their progress.

Him and Davies for the limited time they were on pissed all over the rest of the side for effort and endeavour.
