Edward Fenn-Smith: No-one here tonight could ever forget, what in my view the greatest moment of the season, when young Edward was nutmegged in the penalty area as the last defender. You could say at least he didn't get sent off as would have happened if he'd fouled the person, I'm not so sure. It is not his ability that is in question, everyone knows he can play at this level, it is whether he can syke himself up enough to really care. This particular instance was on his Birthday, and if you can't get up for a match on your Birthday, when can you.

Daniel Garrod: Dan, you might say has a serious lack of discipline at the back, always surging forward leaving wide gaps. In my view it is a plain and simple case of bad man-management. Come on if your Daniel, and you've just seen your right back whose never scored in his dreams let alone on the pitch being moved to midfield, you want to show the management they've done wrong. A simple quiet talk about how your more important to us etc would surfice.
And then all would be well again and those last defender situations (see E Fenn-Smith) would not happen, as Daniel would be back in defense. However I am going to bestow Daniel one of the few compliments I'm going to give and say that he is consistent, regular, and an all round example to the team, and this is why his mark is so high.

Alexander Stevenson: Due mainly to his wetness we have changed league, going from a respectable hard man one to what I can only describe as a pansy league. And frankly his performances have not matched his input into decisions. He is a waster of chances. There are no two ways about it. Although he occasionally produces a good shot (1 every 3 games) he just seems to give up chances. Above all, his heading needs to be improved dramatically. I don't remember him ever scoring a headed goal, come to think of it, I don't remember him ever scoring.

Patrick Inglis: His ability, unquestionable, his desire, questionable. Patrick has set an example on the pitch, which has earmarked him for captaincy, off the pitch he is not so good. I very see him as the Tony Adams of the team. Always arriving late and tardily after a big night out, and then he fails to live up to his name of Granddad by failing to bring some worthers originals. If he wants the captaincy he must gain popularity from the other players. In summing up, on the pitch good, off it, hypochondria and ill discipline have taken their toll.

Nicholas Vanden-Arend: tut tut tut tut tut!!! Captaincy has been too much for him

Steven Brooke: It has very much been a comeback season for Steve. He has never quite gelled with his striking partner, but has anyone really gelled with his striking partner this year. Steve does provide us with that extra option of playing two up front and with him just behind them, and I can't help thinking this would be the best place for Steve to go as I don't think he quite has the physique that an out and out striker has. Saying that, a couple of months in the gym would solve that, but as I've asked frequently in these reports, has he got the discipline?

Duncan Hancock: Certainly my tip for newcomer of the year, one of the most prestigious awards you can get at the club. However the final decision of who will take the trophy off Rupert doesn't rest with me. There is not much more I can really say, I see Duncan as very much the Nigel Winterburn off the team, Mr. Reliable with perhaps just an inkling that he can only play with one foot.
Mark: B
Rupert Coltart: Hmm, a perplexing season and one I think he can learn from. He continues to impress in goal and when he has the ball at his feet, but it is when he has passed it that it worries me. He then just stops, not really searching for that one two, he feels his work is done. If he wants to pick up the player of the year trophy next year, better fitness and awareness need to be introduced into his already expanding game.
