Thedelldays Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 probably well deserved...Le Fondre scored 5 goals in jan by playing 85 mins of football hopefully, this will act as the dreaded curse.. when was the last time we wont one of these..?

Saint Garrett Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Don't think Nigel won it once last season!? Few of our boys must have won the player award though. Lambert? Lallana? Chambo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF..!!! makes you think...if morgan played like he does (or even not as well) for a liverpool or arsenal...he would be lauded as one of the best in the land.... no one can tell me henderson or diaby are better than him at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Fair play to Le Fondre as he has been clinical with the chances he has had. McDermott though... seriously? They have been utter ****e in most of those five matches and have got some lucky points. I would like to think however gave these awards out thought about them a bit more. Actually, no I wouldn't. I couldn't care less. Well done to both. I think your club is sad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less. Well done to both. I think your club is sad though. It's a tricky one cos normally I don't care much for people talking about luck and fair play for Reading for picking up quite a few points in January. BUT in at least three of those matches - WBA, Newcastle and Chelsea - they should have been dead and buried by half time and relied on profilgate finishing by the other team. On the other hand you have to hand it to ALF. He may be a rat-face little **** but he know how to finish given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Still think Le Fondre is poo (though a couple of good finishes seem to be the way to win play of the month now). McDermott's prize is a very slow and patronising clap that realistically he should have been doing a lot better up until now and one run of a couple of results needs to embarrassingly congratulated.

McDermott's prize is a very slow and patronising clap that realistically he should have been doing a lot better up until now and one run of a couple of results needs to embarrassingly congratulated. You make me laugh....a £300K acquisition who lacks pace but has a definite eye for goal......I watched the Reading Chelsea match and I reckon we should beat them but Kebe is still a threat...the Russian striker "the Pog" they have is hopeless from what I saw. Reading play with the Pog up front in a loan striker role. Our game against them is pivotal and I would love to go...do I want to sit in the away fans and watch it? Not sure. I hate low lifes and asking the Saints guys to sit down so I could watch the game was tantamount to me offering to fight them.

Saint Mikey Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Strange to win it without starting games. Impact sub of the month yes, player? No chance. Still funny anyone thinks there's a curse. To be honest, I think there is something psychological in it. It's human nature to take your foot off the gas when you think you've reached your target. The players may think conciously or unconciously - 'The gaffer's won MOM because we've been playing so well'. The Mgr will also undoubtedly put some praise on the team, even with the caveat of 'we've won/achieved nothing yet'. It's easy for players to fall into the trap of believing their own hype... I'm glad we won so few on our rise up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly he isn't that good, he can score but only when no one is bothered about him in the last 15 mins. Start him or ask him to do anything other than hit it from 6 yards out and he'll give you a brain dead stare. Shows what a joke the play of the month award is when someone gets it for playing about 40 mins of football across a month. By all accounts we have to beat them, and should, just requires no switching off at 80 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Le Fondre is underrated. Schneiderlin and Lallana are better than many premier league midfielders and were last year even in the Championship. I wouldn't swap them (or cork) for any of the midfields outside the top 6.

Elmore Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 It surprises me that Le Fondre doesn't get many minutes on the pitch - he has a great knack of scoring important goals, but I wonder why McDermott puts him on the bench. He also reminds me a bit of Jan Aage Fjortoft in that he too had a great knack of scoring important and sometimes sensational goals in a relegation threatened team.

More time on the pitch probably wouldn't improve his strike rate. Seems to be sent on to exploit tired defences and it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 He's got a good turn of pace But watching a couple if games last season, he's not really got much stamina Mcd plays him very well Bring him on when the opposition are tiring use his pace Couple of good finishes this season though ( and some jammy ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one for overstating our players ability ala the 'Kelvin for England' brigade whilst in L1, but I wonder if Alex Ferguson might take a look at Schniderlin as a long term successor in the Carrick role.
