19/20 season might be a bit soon but 20/21 looks bright!

Not even on the bench today. It was always questionable signing on loan injured to the league one leaders. Hopefully he will get a couple of run outs if Luton secure promotion in the next couple of games. Although if I was the manager with promotion secured early, I would be concentrating on developing my own players for next season rather than developing another club's player who's only there on a short term loan.

And James Collins sent off in that match for good measure.

Good news for Aaron, perhaps he’ll get a couple of games after all!

First senior league game for Connolly, at the age of 19, coming on for the last quarter against Charlton. Four games left to make an impression: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47836021#tab-0

Back in the bench for today’s home game vs AFC Wimbledon, having been left out of match day squad over weekend. Let’s hope he can get another taste of the action

Didn't come on, unfortunately - Collins scored yet again: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47943504

He was making a great run too and ignored by his teammate. Thankfully he got the opportunity anyway. Lovely.

Away to City the weekend so not the ideal opportunity for the manager to throw him in. Or is it?

**tetsujin1979** · 28/08/2019, 9:25 AM

Hard to argue against his inclusion in the matchday squad, if not the starting XI. Brighton have only scored once in three premier league games this season.

If they are getting hockied why not give him a run? they will have nothing to lose and they get to see if he can mix things up with the best. I would be shocked if he started

They beat Watford 3-0 on the opening weekend? Shame it's such a difficult game next but at least they're into the next round, guaranteeing him another opportunity soon enough you'd imagine.

**tetsujin1979** · 28/08/2019, 2:09 PM

ah crap, I read that result backwards!

**TrapAPony** · 30/08/2019, 8:03 PM

Not playing or on the bench for the Brighton U23 team tonight, therefore there must be a great chance that he is involved for Brighton tomorrow

**Tipp Townie** · 31/08/2019, 9:22 AM

We're quite excited about him down in Brighton and have been for some time. Locadia's loan move out to Hoffenheim would seem to suggest that Graham Potter is intending to play Connolly a bit this season.

Having said that, I'd be surprised if he features at Man City today. Might be in the squad, but I think it'd have to be a special set of circs that would mean he gets on.

**Eirambler** · 31/08/2019, 1:50 PM

As expected, Connolly is at the Etihad with the squad. Similar to Parrott recently its just a question of whether he makes the 18 or is the 19th man.

named on the bench....... along side duffy who appears to be dropped

**Diggs246** · 31/08/2019, 4:29 PM

Connolly is on now

**samhaydenjr** · 01/09/2019, 3:51 AM

Could have had a clear run at goal, had a return pass from Gross not been intercepted. But still, great to see him make his EPL debut - will hopefully get more opportunities soon
