[Archived] Man of the Match poll - Wolves v Rovers

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

Place your votes here for the Man of the Match for the game against Wolves. Voting will close on Thursday lunchtime and the result will be announced.

Please keep this thread for voting only and add your comments on who you voted for, player performances, etc., in the match discussion thread.

Edit: Looks like people are commenting in here! Perhaps better to comment over in the match discussion thread (currently the Preview thread) as closing the vote means closing this thread. However, if you are happy to leave a comment here on the understanding that you won't be able to continue discussion beyond Thursday, no problem. (If members are fine with that arrangement, then we could perhaps implement that for next season, by the way.)

Jason Roberts was superb in the first half, and Hoilett was excellent too. In the second half, Samba and Phil Jones were immense. The first half performance was as good as any in years - and Roberts takes it for me. Superb on his own.

Gone for Junior but could have given it to 4 others. Not Olsson tho - was he even on the pitch?

Juniors first half performance was outstanding, samba second half stood out but for me junior takes it

[T.J.Newton]

Emerton seems too have rediscovered his 1st 2 seasons at rovers form, quality.

Credit to Sam for that.....

You're at it Bucky. Naughty.

I went for Roberts.

Thought he led the line superbly, especially in the first half. His industry and hold-up play was first-class, and he earned his goal.

Close call between Emerton, Junior and JJ. JJ has it for me - we need to sign this boy up ASAP.

[roversmum]

Can I vote for them all, please?

[CrazyIvan]

Salgado had a fantastic game.

I thought that. I missed the line up and took me 20 mins to work out who the 11th player was

Totally agree. His goal certainly wasn't a fluke in the sense that it just bounced off him, I seriously doubt Salgado's original cross/shot would have beat the keeper (if it was even on target) so flicking it into the opposite corner was a good finish. He destroyed the 2 Wolves centre halves throughout the first 45 and had about as good a game as I've seen him play at Rovers. I can only imagine its the scapegoat tag that he carries with Pedersen and Andrews that has put him so far behind Hoilett in the poll. Unbelievably there were still some idiots behind me slagging him off for most of the second half.

A very difficult choice to make because they were all good on the day, and in so many different ways.

The three goal scoreres were all outstanding for the way they each took their goal chance by using superb technique; but for me it boiled down to a final choice between Roberts and Emmo for the way they both kept plugging away for the entire time they were on the pitch, whilst Junior made and executed his goal quite brilliantly, he was in and out of the game for periods in a way that Roberts and Emmo were not.

So for my very difficult final choice it was Roberts just shading it over Emmo for his work both on and off the ball, and for his intelligent positioning that meant the Wolves defenders just had to to try and contain him at all times and could never afford to to neglect him for a second. Very, very good workmanlike performance by the big man. And a great game from Bert as well; his volley was sheer bliss... no keeper would have stopped that.

I voted for Robbo, now everyone has a vote as it was more team than any one man against Wolves as mum said.

[brian nelsen]

I went for Jason Roberts. Like the manager, he deserves merit for coming good at the right time.

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

The poll is now closed. Many thanks for voting. The man of the match results will be published tomorrow.
