Poor Riga

Cheers for doing Worthy, Cahill is probably overall a worthy winner (no pun intended)

Aye, since Christmas he has been our most improved player. Would have given it to Jussi personally, he has done more in keeping us up.

Agreed.

but the right three up there, and i'm not grumbling about the order.

Couple of surprises for me, Elmander polled more votes than SKD. Taylor with 10 goals didn't make the top 3 any month and polled less votes than Muamba...

I'm most surprised about Steinsson. Surprisingly low considering he had a fairly good season and played pretty much every game.

I think Steinsson has been terrible this season personally, he might not have played so often this year under a different manager.

I'll go for that. Without Kev's goals we'd be relegated, but then again, without Jussi's saves and Cahill's defending we might be anyway.

EBIIIIIIIIIIII NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Right 3 up there, though I am surprised at where Taylor finished - for me he's number 4 this season, by some.

Cheers Worthy.

And might have played more under another

If you think he's been terrible. you don't realise how defensively poor Davies is on the right of midfield

I realise perfectly well cheers, I just think that Steinsson being undroppable isn't necessarily a good thing.

Who says he's undroppable?

He hasn't needed dropping

I said it.

I reckon that our managers' displeasure with Hunt has helped Steinsson.

He's no more undroppable than Cahill is. He's just, like Cahill, infinately better than any other players we've got in that position. We've no other players who could do the job that he is instructed to do, so he'll always play.

And yeah, I think the results are fair enough. Taylor is hard done to overall, but there's definately a school of thought that suggests if he's not scoring, he's not doing much. That's why he's low on the list.

Cheers for that Worthy, interesting stuff.

We should present him with a T-W trophy.

Defo cahill, in tough competition with jussi.

Good job.

Shot (well-done) Worthy, a bit of work there.
To me the stats show the same ol' suspects are performing consistently. If we get a couple more players that get amongst the MOM scoring we will be healthier club.

How can you argue. We are the ones who voted. Overall I think they were pretty accurate.
