in the Championship campaign to qualify for a winners medal? Is Nigel trying to ensure that as many players as possible qualify for a Championship Winners Medal?
Is it really ten? If so then won't Lee and Sharp miss out on one even with the goals they have scored so far?
I checked the games played for the players last week, but decided that Adkins would never let sentiment get in the way of the title. Might be different if we were assured of title with a game or two to go. Then I would hope he'd at least check on the players who were close to the magic 10 like Martin.
So the players who have below 10 appearances so far and how many more appearances they need to make to gain a winners medal are as follows: Seaborne - 6 Butterfield - 6 Barnard - 5 Lee - 3 Puncheon - 3 Sharp - 2 Martin - 1 Players who physically can't get one now: Bialkowski - 9 Falque - 9 Holmes & Forte (6 & 7 but away on season long loans) P.S I'm not sure about Reeves... When does his loan spell at Dag&Red end? Anyway he needs 5 more appearances to warrant a medal.
I'm sure Martin, Sharp, Lee & Puncheon will qualify but not the others Martin has been involved in EVERY matchday squad this season, I would be gutted if he never got a medal as he has always been involved and ready
Some of these players will not be with us next season and deserve some reward for a really successful season if we do gain promotion and go up as champions.
