Brighton & Hove Albion Player of the Month - August 2008

[Mendoza]

I honestly thought the way NSC usually goes on about the Albion, that VIRGO would walk this poll, but only one person has voted for him.

I didnt think many people would go along with my choice of Hawkins, but there you go, nice to see people debating about football anyway

 

[Mackenzie]

I'd say its between Hawkins and Forster, I'm going for the latter due to his goals and general moaning.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Its got to be Michel

How many times has he kept us/won us the game

 

[Mendoza]

Has there been one outstanding performance of the season?

Forster v Crewe
Virgo v Barnet
Richards v Orient
Kuipers v Bristol Rovers?

me? i don't know who or what that is

 

[paddy]

The Hawk, you know it makes sense

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

.......... Michel. We'd have 2 home defeats by now if it weren't for him.

Probably true CB but goalkeeping is not just about shot stopping; it's Hawkins for me.

So many people vote on polls that never even post.


Shame on you

Hawkins has been consistently good, and I'd have him in my top 3. I can see why you'd vote for him, because he hasn't put a foot wrong in 5 whole matches. But, you could say the same for Michel really, and he's had a few STUNNING moments which just edge it for the great man in my opinion. Put it like this, without the King we'd have 2 points less - fact. Without Hawkins, would we have any less? As good as he's been, probably not I'd say.

Without Hawkins, we'd have had 2 points more.

Without Hawkins, Michel could well have been even busier...

 

[The Large One]

I suppose. But then it's not like the defence has been inpenetrable. There was Michel's world-class stop against Bristol, and numerous Orient chances that got past them. Michel's stood up to ALL of that when the defence were beaten. Ok, he could have been busier without Colin there, but as that's impossible to judge I'm sticking with Michel based on his unblemished record.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I voted for Michel.

But getting in a decent defensive central midfielder will almost certainly mean Kuipers won't be winning any more Player of the Month awards.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

On the subject of Kuipers' unblemished record. I believe he has now played 61 games in a row. Spanning from Cheltenham away (end of 06/07) to present day.

 

[Mendoza]

Kuipers has taken the lead after a flying start from Hawkins this morning
