James McConnell Player Thread (M)

This lad is something F***ing special.

Looked so composed out there, not fazed by the occasion at all. Imagine he will start against Southampton.

Promising signs but not gonna go overboard on him or Clark just yet.

McConnell does seem to have something about him that I’ve not personally seen in Clark. Thought he was brilliant when he came on yesterday in such a high pressure environment he was composed and at one point, everything was going through him.

Bobby is more of an attacking midfielder

Amongst the youngest who play last night I personally like this boy the most.

His calmness in possession maybe? Not afraid to show for the ball? These 2 things alone are a good starting point for any young midfielder.

Once we see him reach that sample size in number of games to the likes of Bradley/Quansah, we'll have a clearer idea of his potential. I suspect next season he and Clark will follow the likes of Bradley/Quansah is heading out on loan for some invaluable experience.
