An interesting interview with Connolly, confirms that the Millwall contract is only until the end of the season. Also seems to say that he turned down a contract offer at Hull last season which led to him being dropped, I don't think that has been reported before. Sounds like he's staying on the level so far since his acknowledgement of his alcohol issues, the current lack of a contract for next season will help focus his mind as well I'd imagine.
When Connolly was at Brighton he displayed all the elements of an immature boy who was flush with money - the polar opposite of the likes of Ferguson. Hopefully he has managed to get his head together and figured out how to deal with being a professional footballer (and all the highs and lows that are part of the job). The guy has talent and he can have a very good career if he can keep it going. I wish him the best.Originally Posted by Eirambler
Is he cup tied?
Played in the third round for Sunderland so he will be, yes.
Hasn't been starting for Millwall recently, Emakhu preferred to him today. Emakhu was decent, certainly justified the start.
Connolly was lively when he came on, definitely offered Millwall an outlet and made a nuisance of himself. Just looks like he's lost something compared to the player that first broke through at Brighton, whether it's a trick or half a yard of pace, he has a more stocky build now. Will be interesting to see if he gets an extended contract at Millwall, his work rate is good, but at 25 this does look to be about his level.
Moran came on for Stoke just after Connolly and honestly might as well not have been on the pitch for all the impact he had. Millwall took control of the game after he came on and out of possession he really does offer absolutely nothing at all right now.
