Output in context · Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
8 goals in 21 appearances (0.38 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.57 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.4, Connolly carries the 42nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
