Aaron O'Connor

Post by DiamondsFan »

Deserves his own thread. MOTM by a mile for me. Ran himself into the ground and took his goals well and its just unfortunate that he didn't get his hat trick. He took on no ends of players and everything just seemed to be coming off for him today.

Well done Aaron :D

Two Fantastic Finishes. The first he showed great anticipation and pace to get on the end of an audacious backheel by Faz, loved it!

The second was a brilliant run, skinned 3 players? and a great left footed finish.

I love the edge he has to his game, almost a slight arrogance, but a positive one. Was loving it when he mouthed the words 'game over'!

No-one deserves more plaudits for permanent work-ethic too, he is fantastic!

Totally Agree! Cracking performance, saw him give a thumbs up and wink at the fans during a corner when we were singing his name, so he was just as chuffed for the support.

Really pleased for Aaron today, he's had a baron spell and really needed and deserved a goal or 2 at some point and he took them brilliantly, as well as putting in a performance worthy of the MOTM and who knows, he might go on a little goal scoring run again!

Absolutely quality today, best game for RDFC by a mile.
If we can get him and Tommo firing down either wing, we've got a great chance! :D

I stand next to someone who cannot stand him. All game every game its blah blah blah, didn't even think the second goal was any good.

Thought he was magnificent today. 1st goal was good, 2nd was top class (potential goal of the season?). Didn't really notice the absense of Tommo in the 2nd half because of his performance. I think he's a streaky scorer so let's hope this is the beginning of a hot streak going into the play-offs! :D

Maybe he should start on the left with Tommo on the right?
