Player of the Season 2004 - 05

[Napper]

So who will get your vote.

My top 3 would be

3rd - Virgo
2nd - Hinshelwood
1st - Butters

Butters has again been immense this season, often not getting the credit he deserves....So solid , no nonsense defender

Hinsh + Virgs have come on leaps and bounds and now look Championship players. Both have been brilliant especially considering both have been asked to play unfamiliar positions at times.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Hinsh, by some distance, for me.

Behind him, Virgs, Butters and Kuipers have all done well (although I don't think Virgs has been helped by being played up-front, but needs must), Nicolas started well, then faded a little, and Knight vice-versa.

And Paul Reid, forgot about him, outstanding.

 

[Marshy]

Virgo or Hinsh.

Probably Virgo, he got our season going with his stint up front.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Virgo is let down by his disciplinary record in my opinion. I think it is about two reds and 7 yellows.

I would say Butters of Hinsh way out ahead of anyone else.

 

[Skaville]

FDM

 

[Basil Fawlty]

1. Butters
2. Hinsh
3. Chippy

 

[Trigger]

1 Kuipers
2 Butters
3 Hinshelwood

 

[CHAPPERS]

At the moment I'd give it to Hinsh but there's a few in the running including Knight, Reid and Butters.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

FDM, Butters or Virgo

 

[Da Man Clay]

1st. Hinsh
2nd. Butts
3rd. Virgs

Hinsh has come on leaps and bounds since the departure of Cullip and really does deserve the award.

 

[Stinky Kat]

1.Kuipers
2.Virgo
3.Hinch

harding coming in with a late run but needs super performances to oust top 3 after his poorish start

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

1. Tank
2. FDM
3. Caveman

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

Tough one to call, Butters, Virgo, Hinsh and Kuipers would all be up there for me. Would have to give it to Virgo though, just because he is STILL our top goalscorer.

Should be another award for most improved player too, Oatway, Reid and OGH would all be nominated by me for this one.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Butters for me. Has kept the good ship Albion steady following the departure of Danny C.

And most improved player Leon Knight for his attitude and workrate.

 

[Curious Orange]

I think Oatway has had a fantastic season, by far his best in the stripes, and has shown he has far more to his game than the "midfield terrier" tag would suggest.

Others who have been models of consistency are Reid, Little Hinsh and Butters.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Haven't been disappointed with anyone this season.

I was with Harding at times as he had cost us some goals, but he has since improved.

1. Hinsh (for filling Cullips boots superbly)
2. Butters (acted like a rock, and some crucial goals)
3. FDM (some match winning performances)
4. Reid (from last season playing midfield to right back/wing back, he has been superb)
5. Carpenter (looked out of depth when he first came back but has come through with some good performances, and some good goals)

 

[bellsize seagull]

hinsh and reidy amazing !!!

 

[Knightsworld]

Butters 1st
Hinch 2nd

 

[Wilka]

Hinch at the moment but Nicolas would have if he hadn't got injured.

 

[fatboy]

Don't forget Darren Currie.
