Pleased for him, on his day he could be a tormentor to the opposition, he did well for us on many an occasion and I enjoyed his contribution to our team. Hope the Sutton move works out for him.

For his input in the 2nd leg and Final most notably, I wish him well also. He clearly wanted to be back down south (his performances before the 2nd leg certainly gave that much away) and his departure was absolutely no surprise at all.
In his interview video with Sutton he again refers himself as a 'winger'.. I'm not sure he's a conventional winger though.... I don't recall him really ever whipping a ball over and even dribbling the ball inwards his end product was mixed.... but when he's interested and on it, very capable at L2 level.

He was brilliant when he arrived back and scored quite a few goals (9 in 24 appearances). Not so good last season. f he was in the mood though he was unplayable at L2 level. Unplayable

Outstanding performance yesterday👏 Unfortunately for Simmo, if there was any doubt about his judgment in the last 12 months or so, Omari ripping us to bits confirmed how wrong Simmo has got things.

Omari thought he had a point to prove and he made it. It will probably be his game of the season.

The mistake wasn’t letting him go. He’s in a purple patch right now but he won’t play like yesterday every week
The mistake was letting him go and being unable to replace him with someone better/more consistent. If we had signed a Jones at start of last season, and replaced other departures with similar upgrades, we’d probably have been alright.

A lot of Carlisle fans were claiming that Patrick was finished citing his year at Sutton as proof.
He looked far from finished on Saturday and had the build and skill that would have been welcome in League One for us last year as he had played there previously for Bradford and Burton, wouldn't have cost us the world in wages either.

Wasn't willing to be one of Simpsons square peg in round hole disasters.

Again similar to Butterworth and Gibson, for me it was not the actual players themselves, who you would probably rate as average at best lower league players, it was more what type of players they where that became a huge gripe. The fact Simmo was determined to play Omari central, the fact he was allowed to leave without been replaced with similar qualities, the fact Simmo insisted we didn't need wingers, the fact he persisted with a formation that made it difficult for attackers who wanted to go into wide areas and then vilified them publicly if they did (Edmondson) All contributed hugely to the complete and utter ineffectiveness of our team, particularly as an attacking unit. And ultimately played a huge part in everything ending the way it did imo.

He used to put some great crosses in as well - something we definitely don't do now!

He used to put some great crosses in as well - something we definitely don't do now! I agree. There's also far too much criticism on here of wingers being inconsistent or not looking like they are trying. They're creative players and have always been inconsistent. Sometimes your whipped cross will land on the strikers head other times it'll end up in the Waterworks, sometimes you have the beating of the full back, other times they have the better of you. And it can look like they aren't trying, but their role in the team isn't to run all over the place winning the ball back, they have to hold their position wide otherwise they won't be there when our creative central midfielders (I know!) look up for them. You don't mitigate this inconsistency by not playing them, all you achieve by doing this is eliminating completely their good days.

What Omari brings also his pace even on a shit day the defenders are aware of that and the defensive line can’t sit so high and be caught out… that in turn gives the midfield etc more space to play
Ironically his second goal was an almost a copy of the short corners he scored from for us. Makes it even more unforgivable we got caught out by that routine

Simmo will have been gutted that it was a player he had a disagreement with that came back and bit him on the backside.
I don't think that players mean any spite in it but there is always that extra effort put in to prove the manager was wrong about releasing them.
Worst thing is that many of us in the crowd were thinking 'that is just the sort of player that we need' and Simmo was probably thinking exactly the same thing in the dugout.
