I've said repeatedly that he's a decent player.You keep going on about Connolly being a waste despite him still being our top goal scorer.
But no good when he isn't on the field. It was unfortunate that he was clattered by Gunn, but there is and always will be something going on with him.

That clattering he took v Norwich seems to have had a lasting effect on him ever since he came back into the first team picture
Delap got injured after Sharp was brought in. Delap is/was clearly a player we felt had a permanent future at City.
Signing someone to mentor a player that isn’t ours is rather baffling.
I was watching the highlights today of our last game with Cardiff and he's honestly like a different player there. I think people forget just how good he was in the first half of the season.
The main problem is that Connelly is our top scorer and he hasn’t figured for most of the season. Alongside a proper centre forward I think he would have done well. We are missing a 15 to 20 goal per season striker and that’s been the real difference this year. Wasting money on a player to mentor other players when you have coaches to do that has been daft.
He probably needs some good therapy Connolly, in the nicest way possible. He clearly loves the footballers lifestyle (abit too much) but there must be something wrong which means he can go from that level in the first half to being uninterested all of a sudden. This was a make or break season for him as a player and now most wouldn’t care if he was released
I think the club was expecting him to be our player come the end of the season. It would be less baffling if conversations had been had to that effect.
I don’t see any where in how we play that allows two centre forwards though.
I don’t think we would have been able to sign him if it wasn’t for his troubles. When he’s firing he’s great, but we got him because others don’t want to touch him for the other stuff.
I guess we'll find out in the summer.
This thread is gold.

So…
At least 4 of the loanees we’ll never see again.
Our 2 most sellable players will be, umm, sold.
We’re shipping out several of the bench players because they’re not good enough.
We’re moving on some of our older players because they’re on too high a wage.
We’re not renewing some contracts because of attitude /age/ ability (delete as applicable).
Recruitment lads are gonna be busy over the summer.

We signed about 40 young lads one season and ended up with a few good ones, Joseph/Summerville/Struijk
I don't.
But there is and always will be something going on with him, which leads to him missing far too much.
As Brady comments, "His ability is unquestionable. But there's something else not right.".
We were warned and now we've seen it ourselves over an extended period. How much more evidence do we need.
Edit: Connolly 8 goals this season. Oscar 13 last (with poorer players around him).

Coming here it's like I wasn't at the same game
Rosenior has you playing great football at a difficult place to play, lacking that cutting edge but surely give him resources and it comes?
Your club showed class on and off the field
Elland Road has been nervy a lot of the season but yesterday was poor, some abject performances from our lot (2 games in a row) but got the job done, Summervilles worst game for a long time and no idea how they gave him motm, thought Byram should have got it
Farke has rode his luck many times just by the fact he is working with quality above players
Good Luck for the rest of the season lads far better than most of the others I've seen

Yep that’s the match I watched too. There are a few (and it’s just a few) on here who love to wallow in doom and gloom, posting the same thing over and over again. But most I speak to see the progress we have made and fervently hope it will continue.
