Torquay United Fans Forum

For anyone interested in the current standings of the Player of the Year voting to date, after 42 games (and each game weighted equally to give a true impression of the full season), Lee Mansell and Bobby Olejnik are likely to finish in 1st and 2nd spots. Manse is currently leading, but is not certain to win. After that 3rd place will be a small way behind, although not far and is a battle between Ellis, Howe and O'Kane.

I'll post the full results with more anyalysis at the end of the season, but just in case it influences anyone then Mansell and Olejnik have been voted most frequently by the match going fans, with Ellis, Howe and O'Kane trailing narrowly behind.

To be honest the only hard bit is picking between manse and bobby. I would probably pick bobby first only due to amount of points he has won us on his own. Third would be lathrope absolute class this year and so selfless. Great maturity from somebody of his age. Would not be suprised if he wins players player of year as recognition for his selfless work.

Its not often that one player comes in and makes such a noticable impact to results. (O.k its not as simple as that and not just down to Damon, but you see my point)

With respect to the rest,
Consistant performances all season, outstanding motivator and P.O.S. long over due. (I know he was awared it but never presented in that season that we don't talk about) and he's already stated he wants to be here next season.

And I'd put money on him being players player of the year too.

=1, Bobby Olejnik (Best Goalkeeper Around)
=1, Lee Mansell (Captain Marvell)
3, Damon Lathrope (Unsung Hero)

Possible Others in Contention, Rene Howe, Mark Ellis, Brian Saah, Kevin Nicholson

Do we get to vote at the Southend game?

This is a tough one as tufc4life1 said, one of the toughest ever I'd say! But I would go for; 1) Bobby 2) Manse 3) Lathrope.

No 1 is Chris McPhee and no. 2 is Chris McPhee and 3 is Chris McPhee and no. 4 is Chris McPhee
We all dream of a team of Chris McPhees a team of Chris McPhees a team of Chris McPhees.

Well Paul does.

My votes:

Bobby
Manse
Rene

Although I'm not sure which order they should be in. This year has been great all around.

Thought last year was tough, this one is going to be harder, so many who you could vote for.

Lee Mansell player of the season for me, our very own captain marvel, his leadership fight and determination on the field of play have dragged us through at times, he never see's any cause as lost, and that rub's off on the rest of the team, and 13 very important goals to boot. This is bourne out by Accrington away ,I did not go , many who did fan's/ coaching staff alike described that game as our most inept powderpuff performance of the season, the only game Manse has not played in.

Bobby.O easily worth 10 points this season, nearly as good as Danny Potter

Rene Howe , Lingy has given the lad a chance, a home and he has repaid that faith in bucket loads.

Damon Lathrope would be my young player of the season, remember going to the devon bowel match with Buckland over a year ago, saw Lathrope sent off, and he was appalling that night, my view as a fan was give Tivvy a ring and get rid.

What a diffence a year has made to my opinion, I think this lad has come on leaps and bounds, real unsung hero, and now one of our most important players.
