Conno is the best we have at RB right now and has done well in the past couple of games.
As for Gradel - isn't Webber having a similar impact as Mad Max had when he came on loan, ATM? :duno:
Less tantrums and more of a team player too. :tup:

Don't think it was a case of Grayson letting him go rather that Villa rated him and wanted him back.
Connolly is the best we have but is not good enough imo,we need better.
Would take Gradel over Webber any day,would welcome him back, no problem.

Honestly, if I was given the chance to "magic up" a player from recent times to return, I would bring back Gradel rather than Lijich (I know I have murdered the spelling)

Also I don't think 2 decent games from O Dea makes him quality.

Where? Robinson is a great RB, what we need at the minute. Lees and O'Dea are improving every week. White and Snoddy are our best players on the wings, and with Webber as an impact sub, I doubt you'll find any better in this league. Clayton and Brown are a really strong midfield pairing now that they know what they are doing. And up front you have the second best striker in the League, and Becchio, a forward who is returning to the great form we expect of him. And I doubt, you'll get a keeper better than Lonergan to come into the Championship...All in all, I think we've a strong squad, and already we are starting to have more options on the bench. I like Connolly, but out of everyone in the team, I think he is the most replaceable.

PC doesn't really float my boat one of them plays that we wouldn't mis. But has improved a little, AND I STRESS A LITTLE BIT :duno:

Well if I had to nit pick the squad I'd say we lack real pace and a finisher up front.
But at the moment that really is all I can see at fault with how warnock has organised this lot.
