Title: Swindon 1-1 Leyton Orient MoM Thread
Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, 20:23:11
Three draws makes a win, as a wise man once said.

Funny one that, improved in the second half and a few decent performances, probably one stand out but we'll see what the hive mind thinks.

Got to be Brynn for me, but a few honourable mentions - Wakeling started well but faded, Blake-Tracy had a shocking first half hour but was much improved second half, Clayton looked the most composed of our defenders and McKirdy had his best game of the season.

You rather get the sense McKirdy decided in that second half that he may as well play on his own.

Brynn by a country mile.

Clalyton looked good one on one, I am intrigued if he could fill the Reed position given we are not going to use Reed as a QB like we did last season, or so it seems.

McKirdy. The one and only danger to Orient in my opinion.

Brynn was solid, but nothing you would not expect a decent shot-stopper to make. Gladwin has a bit about him, one of the few where you can tell when he shoots that he expects to score. McKirdy, Gladwin and Wakeling I thought all gave a solid 6.5/10, same as the last game really. FBT was like a different human 2nd half. Darcy the best of the subs, though not loads of competition. I guess Brynn just about for me.

I'm guessing the Townend morons who were booing him before the Salford game have gone quiet.

Should bloody hope so.  Still remember Given getting abuse at Hull in the warm up before he'd even played for us, for being too short.

I just checked he's 6ft 1 hardly short

Could have sworn he was under 6ft, similar to Wes.

Brynn all day for the second home game on the trot.

We were a bit better today but it's not where you want to be.

They will be up there at the end of the season so a good point but I suspect we probably won't be.

Clearly Sol Brynn but I hate voting for keepers so went for Clayton instead.

Given is 5ft10 or 11, he is around my height.

I was tempted to give it to Gladwin, just because he had the balls to pretend to be a professional football. What a bag of shit.

Brynn, but would prefer to see him much less involved in games as the season progresses.

Easiest MotM ever, Sol Brynn by a country mile.

Wakeling and McKirdy did well but Brynn won us the point with his several saves.

Interestingly he "only" has 75% of the vote - the winner got more than that on six occasions last year, including one 93% - a cookie to anyone who can guess that performance...

yeah that surprises me, I would guess either Iandolo or Baudry.

82%, it's one of the six but not the top one. Lyden got a few votes that day.

Nicky Hammond seemed shorter.

That's probably because his attempted clearance at Peterborough in 1992 ish to gift them a last minute equaliser was so feeble it was as if made by an 8 year old child rather than an actual grown man.

Kicking wasn't his strong point I remember him messing up at home when he made his debut against Watford in the league cup.

Yeah his kicking was poor. That said the pitches were in a much worse state back then, I remember London Road was like a ploughed field. We still scored a superb end to end passing goal on it by Hazard that was sadly disallowed for offside.

Town had finally overcome a refereeing "offside" travesty that day.  They were in control with a brand of possession football familiar even to younger fans.  Posh couldn't touch the ball - but it was going backwards each time.  Until it reached "little" Hammond who kicked it forward.  With an apologetic dribble straight to the Posh forward with an empty net begging.  3-3. :crash:

Brynn, by contrast, was absolutely solid yesterday.  He deserved to be paid double for all his overtime in covering for his truant defenders.  He sure wins my TEF MOM vote.

Ginger Tony Adcock the grateful recipient that day.

70%, McKirdy split that vote a little.

The clue is that it was a debut...

Correct. 93% of the vote. Jake O'Brien got 2, Ellis Iandolo 1, Tomlinson 38. Tomlinson never got more than 2 in a game after that. Loanee left backs on debut seem to do well for us...
