Title: Re: Senior Player and Young Player Of The Year
Post by: midnite on April 20, 2011, 04:48:37 PM: I think if Young had stayed out on the wing instead of being the second striker he would of had far more of an impact this season and would probably of won player of the year. Now he's back out wide the difference is for all to see. But for me Downing has been really consistant this season and played really really well.

Albrighton or Clarke. I can't decide. They've both had fantastic seasons breaking into the first team. Albrighton has been more stand out with his performances and those great runs down the wing. Clarke has shown so much maturity in his football and when he's been asked to do a role he has done it so well. I just can't make my mind up.

As for Bent being player of the year, if he'd had the whole season here maybe so. He's been brilliant since January. I feel it a bit harsh on a player like downing to vote for bent and he's been here for 3 months.

Post by: dicedlam on April 20, 2011, 06:38:13 PM: I would say Downing definitely. I was not sure how he would take to playing on the right side, but it seems like he's played there all his career.

Young player for me is Clark. Done a good job under difficult circumstances and come out a player that I would have confidence in playing anywhere across the defence or midfield. Great utility player to have around.

Downing and Clark for me.

Downing also had a poor spell around Xmas/January. It's been such a poor season by most of our original senior players, Downing is the only one that has looked half decent. I still think he has huge room for improvement, especially on his final delivery but compared to last season he's like a different player. Delighted that after such a nasty injury he's managed to get his game back together and appears to really enjoy his football.

Clark came in and did a man's job of whatever was asked of him. I really hope he gets the chance to further develop next season.

Honourable mentions to NRC and Albrighton plus Bent and Walker for their impact over the last 3 months.

I don't think he has.

Albrighton has certainly played more minutes in league games according to fantasy league stats. And I'm assuming Albrighton was subbed off more than Clark so he would have started more.

I agree Albrighton has gone off the boil a bit of late. But I think Clark has had a fair few ropey performances as he adjusts to different positions. I'd always consider putting Albrighton in the team when everyone's fit; with Clark at the moment I can't say I would. He needs to be stronger against physical opponents.

Title: Re: Senior Player and Young Player Of The Year
Post by: Greg N'Ash on April 21, 2011, 10:50:31 AM: I think if you concede that some players haven't responded to GH's management, then you have accept that some have. Heskey, hasn't pulled up any trees this season but for 99% of MON's reign he was an embarrassment frankly
Title: Re: Senior Player and Young Player Of The Year
Post by: Concrete John on April 21, 2011, 10:55:35 AM: Undoubtedly - the youth players especially seem to be thriving under him. But with Downing I think it's more the issue of his fitness last season than MON not getting enough out of him.
Title: Re: Senior Player and Young Player Of The Year
Post by: Greg N'Ash on April 21, 2011, 10:59:33 AM: Dunno. I don't think you necessarily have to be 100% fit to be involved in games. Granted, his poor showing last season was undoubtably partly a confidence issue after the injury.

especially when you consider the lack of team confidence, injuries, strange tactics, before we had darren bent, etc...

i am looking forward to seeing what he can do with darren bent in a more settled and confident team...

(oh, and for the record, in the premier league, the bestest player to ever float above the earth (its the ears i reckon), gareth bale, has 7 goals and 2 assists in 2161 mins... that doesnt include the champs league qualifiers or champs league proper though... which takes him up to 11 and 11 in 3069 mins, although 5 assists do come in 172 mins of cl qualification... 4 and 4 in 732 mins of cl proper)...

I never knew but it's hardly a surprise. Ashley and Downing really need to work on their final ball, otherwise, what was the point of signing Bent? Albrighton, though still learning, knows exactly where the danger area is and generally gets the ball in there.

George Boateng Goal of the season?

I haven't checked recently but I believe George Boateng still holds a significant record over every other continental European footballer that has played in the Premier League.

To be boring...Downing and Albrighton

Downing, Young and Friedel are the only two senior players who have actually played something approaching a full season.

You might want to have a recount!

I've checked and he does still hold a very significant Premier League record over every other continental European footballer.

Does anyone know?

Post by: Loxton01 on May 10, 2011, 12:32:50 PM: For me the player of the season award sums up for me how bad this team has been this season.

Albrighton and Clark have showed potential this season but need to kick on and become quality players and not turn into the Luke Moore, Darius Vassell and possibly Gabbies of this world. They need to keep their feet on the ground and keep working hard. I am hoping albrighton needs a break as his performance sat second half was not to the standard he set first of the season but they deserve recognition.

In respect to a player of the season their just isnt one as for me they have all been poor. Downing has performed better than last season but that wasnt hard. The ball at his feet he is gifted but for me he lacks drive desire and when he hasnt got the ball he is a luxury.

Put Kyle Walkers hunger into stewart downing then u would have a player.

Im sorry if this offends but no senior player deserves this award for me. Bent's goals and Walker second half of the season have done more than most in an entire season and i would include downing in that.

Post by: saunders_heroes on May 10, 2011, 07:12:12 PM: Though Downing was best of a bad bunch, I'm sure they few that received their awards were a little embarrassed by it all. Especially Albrighton, who let's face it has been pants since January.
