Title: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Nemo on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 16:54:18 Carlisle had 60% possession, more shots, more passes, more accurate passes, more corners... and got stuffed. Lovely stuff.
Don't think Mike Williamson will have a good week. Counter attacking with ten strikers on the pitch turns out to work better than I'd imagine! Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Freeloader on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 16:55:13 No brainer
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: adje on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 16:56:16 Much like the other night with Butterworth,Drinan changed the game
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: McGurk's Missus on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:11:14 Drinan. But all the subs on 74mins did well. Tshimanga probably the best of those three. First time I haven't seen him just fall over. I think he's found his role at this club as an impact sub. Looked to have tweaked his hammy a smidge though. Hopefully that can be massaged out.
Drinan all day though Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: jayohaitchenn on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:13:58 Drinan all day
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Boydy on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:21:40 I'm so glad all Drinan's hard work & non-stop running is finally being rewarded with wins.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:24:42 Has to be Drinan. He turned the game for us and he scored two goals!
Wouldn't have thought we'd ever be better with him than without him, but his workrate and endeavour makes us tick! Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:26:21 I'm so glad all Drinan's hard work & non-stop running is finally being rewarded with wins. Agreed. He's consistently given 110% from day one...Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:26:49 Didn't watch today but I've just added to the Drinan love anyway.
The bloke works fucking hard and often doesn't get the rewards, so it's his today. Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: RedRag on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:45:04 Drinan impressively. Butterworth a v. influential first half. Nnamdi a rock.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Cookie on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 17:45:10 Blimey, that's unanimous so far. One more vote from me, cracking performance from Drinan.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Wobbly Bob on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 19:03:04 Drinan, fully deserving of some love this evening.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 19:05:20 Voted for Drinan, but another game where pretty much everyone was at least a 6 or 7 out of 10.
That seems to be the definition of a Holloway team, all pretty good but often nobody outstanding. Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: donkey on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 20:32:27 The obvious choice is the right one for me, but I love the fact that none of the above isn't getting a look in. He was Kennedys best player.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Frigby Daser on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 20:40:33 In many ways, Aaron Drinan’s goal at home to Colchester to equalise - a great bit of work to control and finish - was the catalyst for the recent run of form. I’m not sure he’ll ever be prolific enough in a 2, but in a 3, he is always going to occupy two defenders because of his sheer hard work, direct running and strength. That opens things up for the other two strikers.
He needs a song. Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: tans on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 20:55:33 Drinan was superb today. Such a hard worker
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Pericardinho on Saturday, February 1, 2025, 21:01:13 Drinandinho
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Ticker45 on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 03:42:50 Good to see Drinan getting the votes, thoroughly deserved. Whether he was proving a point to IH or not I have always appreciated his work ethic, never going to be a major goal machine but the type of player every side needs at this level.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Itainthalfhotmum on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 09:08:10 Aaron Drinan’ Absolutely he does, I was reading the thread thinking exactly that. He needs a song. He never gives up running and chases everything Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: 4D on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 09:16:10 Aaron a g string, see him master the wing
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Nemo on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 09:37:00 Never gonna give it up
Always gonna chase it down Always gonna run around And hurt you Not sure how you get Drinan in... Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 10:58:56 I reckon you could make something work to 'Sit Down' by James.
OH Drinan, OH Drinan, sprinting down the wing Drinan, nan nan nan nan nan nan, love the goals that you bring. Terrible lyrically clearly but I'm sure can be adapted/improved. Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 11:05:37 There was a song at Notts County, along the lines of Drinaldo :)
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 11:08:06 Drinan followed by Ofoborh for his defensive work covering the CB's and Kilkenny.
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 11:13:58 There was a song at Notts County, along the lines of Drinaldo :) When the ball hits the goal, it's not Shearer or Cole, It's Drinaldo? Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 11:36:11 I have always loved Drinans effort, he always gives 10/10 for effort, but usually his quality is more like 4/10 but that showed he has it in him to be decent at this level, just get the consistancy and maybe there really is a player in "Murph".
Title: Re: Carlisle v Swindon MotM Thread Post by: McGurk's Missus on Sunday, February 2, 2025, 18:38:40 Never gonna give it up Drinan gonna chase it down Drinan gonna run around Aaron Drin-an... Not sure how you get Drinan in... There ya go :toocool: |
