Ankergren has been a bit taken for granted by our fans this season IMO.

Totally agree.
I asked myself, would we be in the position we are in now with Brez in goal?
I concluded that we'd be in a sightly less comfortable state than we now find ourselves in.

I think I'm guilty of that. I was a bit unsure when he signed for us having seen him play for Leeds against us and on the tv. That Rochdale 'punch' didn't help. But looking at TB's clean sheet stat and some of the saves he has pulled off it really does wake me up to the fact he has been a great signing for us.

It's been, and the headline still is, on the official club app, that's official ! Although it does appear that this may have been a story prepped 'in case' Murray won. But then again where was the prepped story 'in case' he had lost ? Anyways, let's see what happens tonight !

Well the OS shouldn't be reporting on it until the award winners have been officially announced tonight.

... unless the club have done what every other club will have done, if they have a player up for an award?
... Prepare the official announcement, so it's ready to go, IF and WHEN it's confirmed.
If it's NOT confirmed, the prepared item will simply be binned.

Has it been removed from the app yet?
Yes. I suspect the club have been told under embargo that he's won, and accidentally uploaded it to the iPhone app. Either that or what Turkey said.

that would be really embarrassing if he got up to accept the award and they called somebody elses name

Great news but maybe not good news. You see our Glen is out of contract, being the League's player of the season is going to make him very enticing for other clubs. Could see Blackpool getting interested for instance.

Regarding the OT content of OUR Player Of The Season...
I think it'll go to El-Abd. It is the best story. He has become an absolute TITAN at the back, turning from a squad also-ran into a mainstay. He has proved a torrent of critics (most of us probably) absolutely wrong about his ability to be part of a successful team. And that is what we are! Gus comes in, identifies him as a key player at the back, signs him up to the club early... Also he is a Youth Team product, one of our own... I think you put all the ingredients together and we have a deserving winner in a season that so far is shaping up for a lot of glory.
Maybe his winning it will be 'harsh' on the more exciting players (though I personally get a lot of pleasure from his biblically HEROIC headed clearances under pressure!) but then they get the plaudits all season, and from the media at large who would never notice the work Adam does, or his back-story at the club. My vote goes to him... (pretentious! / bleerurgh! moment, warning): I think there's a touch of poetry about it!

You can never have too many awards. I am pleased to announce that I have just won the North Surrey (Northern Section) Albion Fan of the Year Award. Could be years before you see that in the national press though.

Completely agree. I've no idea if stats back me up, but in my opinion, our goal threat diminishes quite considerably when Muzza is not on the pitch.

Original link now says this:
Update 14.30: It’s since been confirmed to us via sources from the club that this was in fact a draft article prepared in case Murray does win the award tonight, and it wasn’t supposed to be uploaded. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but I’m sure we’ll find out later on tonight. Fingers crossed this is a smokescreen and that Glenn will be going home with the award this evening!!
