If I'm honest, I tend not to vote for the player who I think will win our vote, which today was always going to be Mahoney. I'd rather make sure that the second/third best player gets a few votes rathe than the usual joke votes (hello Austin)
Fair enough Nemo, each to their own and variety seemingly is the spice of life, although personally I'd go for cumin. Edit - I've opened myself up to potential punnage there!

We would have lost had it not been for 3-4 saves from M-M.
I like the look of Kokolo. He had a good games.
Minturn is a limited player, but did his job well.
Young had a good 1/2 half.
Hutton did what he always does.
Kemp had small flashes.
Kinsella had his best game.
The rest were ‘meh’

I thought Minturn had a good game, does what others don’t- tackle. Kept tight to his man and one fantastic interception/tackle in the 2nd half. As others, I like the look of Kokolo.
MM obviously gained us the point but some of his kicking/distribution was poor.
One thing’s for sure - no matter how results are going Flynn is sticking with this ‘system’.
God help us!

Suggest we should monitor and vote on who has had a bad performance... currently over the season this would clearly show Charlie Austin.

He has the lowest votes per game of any regular, by some distance. Until the last few weeks I might have argued this was just a lack of outstanding performances rather than consistently bad ones, but it's certainly not been what we'd hope for.

Austin was contributing the team early on. mostly assists and the odd goal, and defensive duties.
last few he's been right off it. not immune to fatigue, form and a lack of confidence.
unlike most, I don't think he's finished. But he does need rest and shouldn't be immune to being on the bench.
circumstances dictate otherwise though.

This is where I'm at. He was contributing and then we've played him too much. It was never going to work. That said he could be finished, but the flashes we saw at the start of this season don't really indicate that.

Agree. Something not right with him and Flynn today. A few spotted it. Could just be one of those but Austin not anywhere near where he needs to be at this level.

Pitman was the same but tended to stay in the box more so wasn’t exerting so much energy!

Would rather have Austin with one leg than that wanker.

If you look at Austin’s history he hasn’t really been the same since he left QPR in 2016 - 8 years ago.

I think this is his last season. Way off the pace now sadly. Remember that away second leg play off game at Charlton when we were down to 10. That was one of his best ever games for us leading the line, he was unplayable that night. Happens to us all, age catches up.

It’s a shame. Don’t want the fans to get on the back of a club legend. Would love him to be a player coach and just on the bench for emergencies and 5-10 min cameos (for the rest of the season). But, we’d need more bodies before that could happen.
