If anyone was wondering why I create man of the match threads after every game, it's to record the performance of the squad over the season. The idea is that at the end of the season it's hopefully a useful tool to look back on and judge the season by - each of the 46 games are worth exactly the same, unlike the traditional vote for player of the season, which tends to heavily favour the players who have played well in the last few months of the season. We normally get a pretty clean consensus for each game, so I like to think it is pretty accurate.
For any people new to the site, the 2010/11 results can be found here:

It was also pretty interesting to use to judge players who were here for different lengths of time. It was a simple concept, total points divided by number of appearances, but reavealed some fairly interesting results. For 2010/11 Craig Stanley beat Guy Branston and Chris Zebroski into 2nd and 3rd to win after his hugely impressive three month loan spell (2010/11 thread -

For each game the man of the match scores 7 points, with 2nd place scoring 5 points, 3rd 4 points, 4th 3 points, 5th 2 points and everybody else nominated at least once scores a point.
The current standings for the 2011/12 season, after the Plymouth game (24 of 46 played) are as follows:
1. Lee Mansell... (82)
2. Bobby Olejnik... (76)
3. Eunan O'Kane... (62)
4. Rene Howe... (53)
5. Mark Ellis... (46)
=6. Kevin Nicholson... (40)
=6. Chris Robertson... (40)
8. Damon Lathrope... (36)
9. Joe Oastler... (34)
10. Billy Bodin... (29)
11. Danny Stevens... (28)
12. Taiwo Atieno... (20)
13. Brian Saah... (19)
=14. Ian Morris... (6)
=14. Chris McPhee... (6)

=18. Ed Palmer... (0)
=18. Saul Halpin... (0)
=18. Ashley Yeoman... (0)
=18. Ray Spear... (0)
=18. Tom Aldred... (0)
Lee Mansell started the season on fire, and has kept his lead all season. Bobby, Eunan and Rene look likely to be the main challengers to him, depending of course on if they stay here for the full season.
I hope this is interesting to a few of you. If you do attend a match then a reply to the match threads would be greatly appreciated - the more replies to a thread, the clearer the consensus of opinion.
