Soon as he leaves like Connor he was rated one of the best full back by alot of our fans
Soon as Connor leaves he's this and that
My twopenneth in regards to Hookem is he was a good prospect but never seemed to get a real opportunity and as evidenced by Hodgsons own admission he made a mistake not giving him more opportunities in 2021 then went on to give him less in 2022, so some mixed messages there.
When he did get a possible chance it was when most had already chucked in the towel so hardly a great thing for a young player. Not surprised he moved on but think Cas will be similar in that he'll be down the pecking order but he may well be given more of chance.
As for Connor I dont recall seeing anyone saying Connor was a top fullback or ever would be more that it was the best position for him and us in the squad. Yes he wasn't quick but not really any slower than Wellens was and he did OK as a FB. Yes he gave some penalties away as did many others however his postive contributions in terms of assists and creation of scoring for the team far out weighed the negatives.
I'm disappointed Connor has gone as he is a great talent but can see and understand the logic in letting him go and do feel we are in better shape and more balanced with Hoy. Trueman and Clifford than the reliance on Connor.

I don't think I recall ever having much of an opinion on him tbh? Said he should have been given a shot in the 1st team - but more due to under performance of others
Hard to judge as wasn’t given much opportunity.
I’d have played him over the half backs we had, just to see what he could do. Couldn’t have been worse than who did play.
