Lots Luton for me. Or Abu Eisa.

 

Not one player stands out based on consistent performances this season.
In fact it's only now after a managerial change I'm starting to connect with this group of players.
Roll on the summer recruitment drive under Hughes and his staff.

 

If we had to have one, I'd probably go with Vernam. He's one who has shown quality - but he's been missing for far too many games.

 

Don't think there really is a player of the season, it will probably just go to Paudie because he's played a lot.

Vernam has been the glimpses man with his dodgy fitness record. He's only featured in 42% of City L2 minutes this season and scored the second most goals in open play this season.

 

Wearing one’s heart on his sleeve doesn’t count.
His passing is dreadful, has been dreadful and will remain forever dreadful. His passes to Songo’o across the back are nothing short of a horror movie.

 

Don’t think there is anybody any doubt our most consistent player is Paudie

 

Fan*y?

I’ll get mi coit

 

The best we have as we will see when it’s voted on

 

We certainly did. But I'd love to know which of those were down to Paudie being beaten in the air by the man he was marking. Hardly any, I'd say.
And interesting that we've largely stopped conceding those types of goals now we have a keeper who isn't rooted to his line.

How are folks going to wash and dry their hands before dinner?

 

None of this alters my view that Paudie dominates most L2 strikers in the air. Every game I see him win virtually every header he goes for.

 

That’s fine, however you do realise these speedy, nimble highly mobile lone strikers aren’t 6ft plus anymore and usually want it on the floor? We established the haggled grizzly striker hardly exists any more , but Paudie can win headers from the smaller strikers who want it at their feet. And now we see why we concede more than we score?

 

If I'm not mistaken, Brandon Thomas Asante (Salford), Josh Gordon (Barrow) & somewhat bizarrely Mark Cullen (Hartlepool) are the only sub-6 foot lone strikers to have scored against us this season.

I'm not sure your claim that we're badly struggling against this new breed of pacy lone strikers is actually true?

 

Look at the goals against….Actual stats don’t lie do Jon.

On a similar theme how many big old grizzly centre forwards have scored against us this term.

It’s the support players to the pacy forward who creates the space in the first instance, that also score goals.

The main observation is goals against, compared to the top 6 . That’s where the issue lies, coupled with goals for . Irrespective of how many are conceded if you don’t score, which we don’t generally, we have a toxic mix and a lousy league position.

That’s where we are sadly.

 

What a load of tosh that event.

An event for a season of failure. Glad you had time though.

 

I guess by the fact he didn't wear a tie, that the award came as a suprise to him

 

Not aimed at you mate.
They can wear what they want for me. Its what they do match days that count.
Although some of the things the young uns where these days, make the 70's and 80's fashions look almost respectable.

 

I didn’t say they were scorers, as they generally bring others into scoring positions, however Hughes and Hodges have got our back pairing playing as they should and as a result , look different players than under Adams. More than happy to accept that Jon. They aren’t stood hand in hand on the halfway line for starters like the previous managers had them doing.
