Darragh Lenihan

[Diego]

Immense! He was superb at the back. Absolute leader and for me captain next season. Love him, glad he’s turned out to be the player he said he would be from the beginning.

Special mention to McNair too, he’s definetly staying in the team until he plays himself out of it, he’s been class last few times he’s been in the team.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Absolute leader. You don't get many of those these days. He's showing everything that we'd heard about him.

I loved when he ran over to Smith and high fived him when he blocked a cross

 

[parmoboy]

Seemed to get his head onto everything.

 

[Chappy112]

Best defender we’ve had since Ayala was at his peak in the season we went up.

Got to agree. Just brilliant at everything

 

[asredastheycome]

Great today. McNair decent as well. Fry back for Sheff U.

 

[indeedido]

He had a great match today, very very good in every way.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Makes it look so easy sometimes. Unlucky not to score as well.

Best defender at the club.

 

[BoroFur]

Trying not to be negative but I hope Carrick doesn't shoehorn Fry into a back 3. It's clear we're a back 4 team now.

 

[newyddion]

Excellent signing. Off the shelf promotion material.

One of Wilder’s boys, I’m sure you’ll agree.

One of Mowbray’s boys!

I fully believe he was on the blower to Steve Gibson when his contact wasn’t being renewed at Blackburn!

 

[Connor_loft]

One of Wilder’s boys, I’m sure you’ll agree.

No doubt he’ll take credit for his signing if we end up going up
“I brought in a ready made captain for Carrick blah blah”
Top player has been excellent in a back 4 this season

Well he DID sign him.

I love this sort of stuff though. Warnock didn’t sign Akpom but did sign Morsy, etc. It happens every year.

The club was being slated for buying Forss at one point, now it turns out he’s good everyone is hammering Wilder for not getting a tune out of him. Everyone was buzzing off Muniz but now nobody mentions it.

Just so we’re clear; Wilder signed Connolly didn’t he? Definitely Connolly. Because Connolly was poor. Tommy Smith is interesting. I remember Wilder being slated for signing him. Who do you think signed him now?

 

[Willow]

Wilder may have signed Lenihan, and fair play, but he made him look a chump with his overlapping centre back nonsense. Lenihan has looked top drawer in a back four though.

 

[TeaCider]

Lenihan has been good since we signed him, he was getting slated constantly and unnecessarily at the start of his time here.

Excellent signing and he definitely feels like captain material for us.

He's edging closer and closer to a goal for us too, so unlucky not to get one yesterday.

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

The new Nigel Pearson

 

[Priv]

He won’t, it will be one or the other he may even change them depending on the opposition going forward.

Yep, I remember me and you being 2 of his biggest supporters even when he was getting a bit of stick on here at the start . Love him me

 

[BoroFur]

The fact is Wilder couldn't get a tune out of the squad, be it existing players or his signings.

Carrick come in and without the benefit of a transfer window immediately gained the trust of the players, established a formation and a playing style.

It can't be a coincidence.
