Title: Most improved player of this season?
Post by: Sade on Monday, March 28, 2005, 18:40:33
What do you think then?
I think duke.I know he had a poor game friday, but apart from that I think he has done so well. He went through that bad patch earlier in the season and did'nt play too well.The fans got on his back too and booed him at a few games.Then he seemed to bounce back and had some pretty good performances.Not just duke though, other players have improved.

Duke is crap  :mrgreen:

Either Smith or Parkin.

But i vote Parkin cos he has worked very hard.

grant smith by a country mile.

duke always gets it, because everyone thinks he is completely awful when really he just isnt very good so anything more than a terrible performance is seen as an improvement.

i think he's had one of his worst season in the past 3 or 4, he's continually making mistakes

How do we know that Grant Smith is most improved? He may have been this good last year but never got the chance to show it.

up until a few weeks ago i would have said duke! ill admit im usually the last one to have a go at him but a new left back next year is a must maybe even top priority in my opinion!
nicho is never going to get a chance so we might aswell bring someone in!

  Your logic is impeccable, but just about all our players have gone backwards this season......overall SO'H had been maintaining a very consistent level for a length of time, until he took a dip inform recently, but has to be a contender otherwise Smith has to be favourite as SSP will clean up PotY awards.

smith is my choice!
player of the year goes to parkin
young player of the year lee holmes and we should get him back on the last game of the season if he is not involved with derby so he can pick up his award!

Heywood's improving but not back to his full best. I think it's got to be Smith whose improved during his run in the side, regardless of what he was like beforehand.

Got to agree with the Russeller has to be Smith.  Heywood is looking better but a lot of that may be down to being made to play on an injury while SP seems to be maturing into a Scorchio.

Yeah give it to one of the MMMbop Hanson Ball Boys who sit in front of TE.  Most improved Smith, we've looked a lot better since he's been playing recently.

I think it has to be Smith, noone else at all springs to mind!  Yeovil Red does have a good point but i must say that whenever i saw Smith last season i thought he was shit and i can happily say he is beginning to prove me wrong.   Of course that is a result of a number of factors including playing regularly and playing in a better position!

Yep, most improved has to be my best mate and favorite player Grant Smith.

I would have said Duke a month ago, but it seems he didnt improve, he was just in good form

SSP for me because he has shown more class than last year and always looks more aware. He has also started to control games at times which is a sign of a player who is playing in a league below them.

Smith.

i know last seasonhe could have been just as good but has obviously been working hard improved, took his chance and now we are all happy because of it!

Honestly, I dont think any of our players have improved this season....our league position and points total back that up....

Smith has always been good, just never played because Kings an idiot...

The only thing thats improved this season is our assistant manager....Walsh to Harford!!!

I'd say Smith but whenever I'd seen him before - playoffs excluded - he's looked shite.

Grant Smith for me, although he wont get far if King persists on playing him on the left like on Friday. He is a central midfielder through and through for me.

I voted for Smithy, think he's looking like a regular first teamer.  Hope he gets a new deal in the summer, think he'd be an asset next season.  Especially if Howard and Igoe have left.  Smithy will relish the extra responsibilty, I hope.

Smith easily, he's never looked that good until recently. If some of our players have got worse then some must have improved as we're not doing much worse than last year.

He isn't a central midfielder through and through, he's played mainly in left midfield and sometimes in attack for most of his career but he's adapted well to central midfield.
