What a very good point! Given our reliance on Connell last season leading to his almost god-like status amongst certain quarters of the support you would have to say the club have managed his transfer and it's effect on the fans extremely well. The main worry for me is the weight of expectation that will fall on the shoulders of the new lad Hearn. Am I right in thinking he hasn't played before at such a high level?


Well one has to ask if the club knew all along that Connell was going to Swindon and all the talk of him lately was just a smokescreen from the club.

Unless Career Underdogs is Nostradamus,or had an incredibly insightful guess,the fact that Connell was moving to Swindon and for how much was posted on here a good while ago.So if he knew,then the club must have known and Connell must surely have known.

Perhaps (and i'm summising here) that Connell was asked to keep schtum while the club did a bit of spinning to keep up season ticket sales and the managemet had a couple of weeks to line up a replacement to soften the blow.Wouldn't surprise me if we have one or two players already signed but have delayed the announcement 'til the transfer has been digested by the faithful because as you say,any replacement has a thankless task.

The Connell anouncement also came just before a distracting home friendly.

Cynical,me?
