ExiledAjax Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ayling, Bryan, Flint and Freeman are all in the League One top 10 players! This was announced on the Twittery https://twitter.com/SkyBetLeague1 That BCFC have 4 out of the 10, including two of our ever present defenders, really shows how far we've come since autumn 2013. Personally I think Flint and Freeman should have both been a bit higher. It's also a shame that yet again K Smith goes unrecognised. Still, yet more success!

Fordy62 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 4/10. I'll take that. And you'd like to think the couple of Swindon players would be on out radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 You can debate the order but pretty much spot on list. Be interesting to see the PFA team of the season list on Sunday evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I can see us going for Murphy if Sheffield United stay down. I remember SC being incredibly gushing about him, uncharacteristically so, before the game they won here a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The top 10 list says more about our season than winning any individual award. The fact we have almost half of the list to ourselves shows how strong the team unit has been instead of a couple of individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Surely a league one top ten team starts with a huge disadvantage. I assume the missing eleventh player was from Swindon and is serving a suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnozRobin Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think Wilbraham is unlucky to miss out when you look at not just his goals but all round contribution. Also 20+ goals despite missing 2 months - incredible effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Feel sorry for Williams the only one of the back three who seems to miss out each time. Flint scores and Ayling's swashbuckling runs are attractive to the eye. No doubt though that Williams has been fantastic all season as well.

TV Tom Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Feel sorry for Williams the only one of the back three who seems to miss out each time.

Numero Uno Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm confused. This was voted for by the very same Managers who have complained all season that we "bought" the league by going out and acquiring all the best players. So shouldn't we taking the top eleven places?

One Team In Keynsham Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 See a similarity here with the 1999 player of the year awards: bearing in mind that Manchester United won the treble, playing some fairly spectacular stuff along the way and not losing a game in any competition after Christmas, David Ginola won the PFA and Footballer Writers' awards. Consensus seems to be that so many United players shone that season, votes were split across the board and Ginola won, with Spurs finishing mid-table and winning the League Cup.

Plus Fielding, Pack, Williams and Jet and not forgetting selling last season's top scorer in the division!! All with a lower wage bill than last season too. Don't tell the Swindle mind!!
