...I know Connolly was part of the England Youth World Cup winning side as a LB but i wonder if he’s truly left sided. I agree with the point you make about his versatility but i’m not sure he’d be in direct competition with a conventional LB like Robinson. I’m only aware of him in recent seasons, i’m not sure what position he played in when he was younger.

I first came across Connolly playing left back for England U17s. He was the school year below Ledson and Kenny and chose to do exams and not go to that Euro Champs that the U17s won. Then he played two games for England U17s at left back scoring three goals if I remember right. So despite being right footed he progressed through the early age groups as a left back , then moved all across the back four and sometimes mid field. I’d have him at left back ahead of Robinson, though Robinson has better attacking intent.

..Robinson looks a fine athletic runner. For some reason left footers always look better on the ball. I have to say, I have increasing doubts any of the current loanees will have a future at Everton. Williams and Connolly appear the most consistent, Dowell the most creative. The indications were that offers are being prepared for Williams and Pennington. If some of these lads are not moved on, they will be close to running down their contracts.
 
Championship
Bolton Wanderers - Antonee Robinson played full match in 1-3 home defeat to Preston North End

OS Match Report
"Billy Bodin should have done better when he was put through but he hesitated and allowed Antonee Robinson to catch up with him which distracted him."

Twitter stuff
.@velajosh25 does well to flick on Sammy Ameobi's cross but it just evades an unmarked @Antonee_Jedi at the far post!
Off the line! @Antonee_Jedi comes to the rescue for Wanderers after Ben Alnwick was beaten from a corner.

Sunderland - Tyias Borwning played full match in 1-1 away draw at Millwall

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
8' Ben Marshall takes the ball down in the centre circle before attempting to play an incisive through ball, but @tybrowning steps across to make a key interception.

Fan comments
"Browning and O'Shea can't pass the ball, they panic every time and hit stupid balls to nobody. They've got no ability on the ball."
"Tyias Browning, 6/10: Doesn’t look comfortable on the left of a three but did well."

Kieran Dowell was an unused sub for Nottingham Forest.
Louis Gray was an unused sub for Carlisle United.
Ademola Lookman was an unused sub for RB Leipzig.
Sandro was an unused sub for Sevilla.
Harry Charsley and Brendan Galloway were not in matchday squads.

Cheers, I will now delete my recording of the RB Leipzig game.
 
Championship
Barnsley - Joe Williams played full match in 1-2 away defeat at Cardiff City

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
Williams drives just wide of the post from the corner kick.

Fan comments
"Williams needs to stop thinking he's Scholes. About 10 long passes and I only remember 1 coming off."
"He likes to faff about in dangerous places"
"Did you go ?? He’s our most comfortable on the ball alls you do is slate Joe Williams he was wriggling out of tight spaces and building attacks all game"
"At very least needs a rest. Don't know what he was thinking for their second goal but it was very poor."

Nottingham Forest - Kieran Dowell started and was substituted in the 79th minute of a 0-0 away draw at Norwich City

OS Match Report
"A counter attack was led superbly by Dowell as he skipped past one man then played Brereton in on the right of the penalty area, but the teenager dragged his effort wide of Angus Gunn's goal."
"On 23 minutes Brereton had another good chance, latching onto Dowell's pass again but chipping an effort over the onrushing Gunn and also over his unguarded net"
"the home side looked more likely to break the deadlock, before Dowell had a good opportunity to get a shot at goal on 67 but fired over the bar from the edge of the box. Matty Cash had a golden opportunity on 72 as he met Dowell's delivery into the box, but he couldn't keep his header down..."

Twitter stuff
12' Norwich 0-0 #NFFC: A rapid counter-attack from Forest as Kieran Dowell powers through the middle third, he lays it off to Ben Brereton inside the area but the striker drags his shot wide of the far post.
67' Norwich 0-0 #NFFC: Matty Cash's ball to the back post finds Kieran Dowell but the Everton loanee can't keep his shot down and it flies into the stand behind the goal.

No particular fan forum comments about him.

Ipswich Town - Callum Connolly played full match in 2-1 away win at Sheffield Wednesday

OS Match Report
"Five minutes into the second-half Town were ahead, great work by Sears down the right, Connolly headed the delivery back across goal and Waghorn volleyed in."
"Town were denied a second straight after, Wildsmith doing superbly to tip over Connolly’s header after more good approach play by Sears."

Twitter stuff
38' Callum Connolly and @cameroncv2 link up well before the latter unleashes a rocket of a shot at goal, but it goes just wide
Freddie Sears' fantastic cross from the right is headed back across goal by Connolly and Waghorn is on hand to fire into the net from close range!
CLOSE! Almost 2-0 to Town! The ball loops over the top to Sears who knocks the ball into the middle but Connolly's header is brilliantly saved by Wildsmith

Sunderland - Tyias Browning started and was substituted in 30th minute (injury) of 0-3 home defeat to Aston Villa

OS Match Report

Fan comments
"Injured after making an abysmal pass."
"One of the worst centre backs I've seen."
"I thought he was one of our better players (not saying much) up until around the start of February, awful since then."

Antonee Robinson was an unused sub in Bolton's game.
Harry Charsley and Brendan Galloway were not in matchday squads.
 

re Dowell when he has played hes played him out wide hasnt he when his natural position is a 10

im loathe to criticise someone playing out of position in general
