oafcprozac Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Blimey Prozac, I know you're a fully paid-up member of his fan club, but Tarkowski most improved? I've been his biggest critic in the past, but I believe he's mostly had a very good season for a young kid in a struggling team. The goals against column is testament to that. Smith's up there too obviously but he's always had that in his locker imho he just needed to man up. As for Tarky he's started to listen to his coaches and the elder pros around him. I thought he had two very good games against Everton too…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best goal vs Latics - Adam Rooney (Swindon) Best ground visited - City Ground, Forest.

rudemedic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That has to put the credibility of the rest of your answers open to question! It was a decent chilli, washed down with a pint or 2 of Thatcher's Cheddar valley. Pies (with pastry) make me ill, unless they are gluten-free.

the_mighty_bosh Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Goal of the season - Matt Smith vs Everton for meaning, Derbyshire's 2nd Vs Donny for quality. Player of the season - Jose Baxter Game of the season - Liverpool was great, but Everton at home tops it for me. Most improved player - Matt Smith Moment of the season - Robbie Simpson's header at Forest, absolutely mental! Best away trip - Forest away for the 7 minutes of euphoria, but Pompey away was a close 2nd. Lowest point of the season - Coventry's last minute goal at the Ricoh, gut-wrenching. Biggest Villain - There's been a few bad refs but none more so than the ref at Pompey, mistaking Connor Brown for Cliff Byrne and completely losing the plot puts him top. Best player vs Latics - Jagielka for Everton, at our level Paterson for Walsall. Best goal vs Latics - Adam Rooney for Swindon Best ground visited - I found Coventry and Portsmouth interesting for different reasons but Forest wins it for me. Best food - Kidderminster Cottage Pie, bought it at 2.25 only just finished it before kick off due to it's size. Never has the football had to make such an effort to top the quality of food!

eyres_28 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Goal of the season - Derbyshire's 2nd vs. Doncaster in cup Player of the season - Jose Baxter Game of the season - Oldham 3-2 Liverpool Most improved player - Big Jean (immense season - errors almost non-existent) Moment of the season - Those 7 mins at Forest - sheer confused joy that is unlikely to ever be repeated Best away trip - best day out / trip always seems to be Sheffield Utd - Mini Ale Trail with breakfast at Dewsbury and couple of great pints at the Sheffield Tap (pub of the year!) Lowest point of the season - Baxter's yellow card at Preston - first time I really thought we were doomed Biggest Villain - Whoever trashed the Crawley coach Best player vs Latics - Steven Gerrard Best goal vs Latics - Carlisle's left backs lob t'other week Best ground visited - Forest Best food - (never eat at ground but pre-match pub food) Carlisle but horrific 90 mins followed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 How people can say draw can top a win will always baffle me. It doesnt to me. I thought almost everything went our way against Liverpool and while they were more talented than Everton their big players didn't quite seem up for it, they kind of went out with a whimper. Everton on the other hand were physical, competitive and quite bruising which made them a bigger test in my eyes. Yet we matched them in all areas which made it an incredibly exciting game. In the Liverpool game my nerves were frayed for the last 20 minutes whereas against Everton even when we were 2-1 down I just felt immensely proud of how we took the game to them. Smithy's dramatic header turned that pride into ecstasy. Also one of my housemates is an Evertonian which made it more memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsChris Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Goal of the season - Youssouf M'Changama's v Doncaster Rovers, Boxing Day. Player of the season - Jose Baxter (Grounds & Croft second & third) Game of the season - Oldham 3-2 Liverpool Most improved player - Matt Smith. He always had it but finally found out how to use it in the last six months. Moment of the season - M'Changama's dramatic recovery from being read the last rights to popping in a peach of a strike in the space of five minutes against Donny. Had me laughing like a drain. Best away trip - Everton. Such a great atmosphere that night. Lowest point of the season - Despite not being there, but listening on t'wireless, I felt we were doomed when pushing for the equaliser backfired and we conceded that comedy second. Biggest Villain - David Moyes for showing such a lack of class after Smith's equaliser. A future United manager in the making there. Best player vs Latics - Mirallas Best goal vs Latics - Billy Sharp's strike for Forest was pretty decent, though I'll admit I struggle to recall the opposition's goals. Best ground visited - Everton. Knackered, but a proper traditional ground. Best food - Don't often eat at the ground, but Kiddie's pies were hugely overrated (too much mash) though still better than the standard fare. They just about beat the monster hot dogs at Goodison. Edited April 23, 2013 by LaticsChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
