[Archived] Player Of The Year

[Doug]

Mullgrew, we'd be down with Rotherham if he'd not been with us.

[Mike E]

Mulgrew for me.

Young player, Lenihan. As well as Nyambe has done recently, Lenihan has done his job very well at cb despite being a midfielder most of his career.

I think this partnership consisting of adapted midfielders actually plays a big role in playing the defence high up the pitch.

Why he played all season with as much effort and passion if not more than some contracted players. It is player of the season not contracted player of the season

Miss the Nob End game last week did you? Gallagher used any credit he had in the 10 minutes he was on the pitch

No I was their just not willing to crucify a kid that has come and gave his all and scored vital goals for an error of judgement any inexperienced kid could make. I think the penalties he's won and the goals scored make up for not holding the ball at the corner flag. Miss the wolves game did you ? Some finish. Best rule lenihan out to then as he handballed it at deepdale and they scored the resulting penalty and we lost

[bazza]

As J*B has said, the person we vote player of the year usually leaves us in the summer.

Therefore................Jason Steele.

In reality, Lenihan is my choice.

[Dunnfc]

Think we should cancel it this year tbh.

Not one player has stood out bar Mulgrew who i don't think has played enough games.

Not on the playing staff for me  i think Mulgrew has done well when he has played but it hasn't been too often. Seems to have patches of play interrupted by muscular injuries and missed the start of season through fitness.

You can't vote for anyone with any conviction.

If pushed, I'd plump for Mulgrew.

Bit of a 5hitter that Mulgrew's well known for his Elvis impersonations!

I knew who you meant and missed it, I must confess.

Back on topic, Ben is more worthy than Anthony!

Player of the year? Forget it this year. Bottom three for 75% of the season doesn't deserve awards.

[Mattyblue]

Remember when we used to release 'Season Review' videos? They'd have been a laugh this last 6 years!

[AllRoverAsia]

The 2 Jasons deserve credit for inspiring todays schoolboy footballers that it is possible to make it in the professional game no matter how poor you are at the game. There is nothing that cannot be achieved by chosing the right agent and toadying up to the manager.

Is toadying a word ?

Is bibidi bobidi boo a word ?

Is this primary school player of the year thread ?

Yes it is Professor.

I gather you followed its meaning though.

They are also an example of how fans struggle to;

1. See anything but the attacking side of a football match

2. Have realistic expectations based on cost, stature etc

3. Make comments or base opinion without a developed unbreakable agenda.

 

As for the rest of the posts, Suhail Slayer, Steve etc... is this thread a joke?

TBH I only posted as things had gone a bit quiet on here.

I dont rate either of the Jasons but am willing to accept that they keep getting picked so people who know much more than me about football rate them at least adequate.

Unbreakable agenda? You are havin a laugh.

Haha it's just a fancy way of saying rigid in thought. I can see why some Rovers fans made their mind up during his first stint (for Kean) but he and Steele are not "Myles A" in terms of finding their way into teams through brown nosing.

Looking back I did go OTT on the 'brown nosing' bit and agree that neither Jason can be likened to the infamous Myles A. Football CV enhancement scheme.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the award of a Player of the Season this season is a joke. It's so pointless there isn't even a BRFCS poll.

There will be zero credit for the winner, best of a bad bunch. They should cancel it.

The actual winner will probably the player of the final 17 games of the season. Nobody but Mulgrew stands out at all.

[Mike Graham]

Vote for Steele.

[AllRoverAsia]

Anthony Stokes. He's got form and neatly avoided a BANg up.

[davulsukur]

Mulgrew is the only one really.

A cut above the rest, but the rest on the whole have been incredibly poor.

[AllRoverAsia]

Charlie Mulgrew of the Clan Mulgrew.

There can be only one.

He's a handsome fella too so will get the ladies vote methinks.

Plus he is the standout footballer at Rovers these days which is good enough for me.
