Aaron Connolly and Folarin Balogun

[Mwelolo]

they were brilliant vs derby? i'm not having that like. connolly was miles better today than vs derby. the result has shifted everyones perception as it always does. balogun did a fancy backheel to set up watmore late on and connolly scored from a shot that was heading to the corner flag before a deflection. today connolly had several chances and balogun had a few. they were far more active in this game.

if we won today in an alternate reality and they didnt do anything different but other players got the goals. people would probably rave about connolly and say balo did well to. i dont think we can rely on both of these young unproven lads to shoot us to the premier league. if we do try it. we wont be going up, because we wont be scoring enough goals.

Spot on.

They were both anonymous in the first half against Derby.

They worked hard and got into the game in the second half.

Connolly had a huge slice of luck with a double deflection of a shot he hit straight into the body of a defender. He just doesn’t look like a goal scorer and I’m not sure he ever has.

Balogun had a cheeky back heel assist after a goalkeeping howler. In general he needs to concentrate less on the fancy flicks and learn to use the ball better, although this one was very pleasing.

‘Brilliant’ ‘Superb’ - ridiculous
