    Burnley and us each have 3 in it ...

    http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/260314-city-trio-make-leagues-top-10-1447846.aspx

    1. Danny Ings (Burnley)

    Ings' goals have rocketed Burnley into the Sky Bet Championship automatic promotion places, alongside his prolific partnership with Sam Vokes. Three England Under-21 caps and two goals has highlighted his ability at international level.

    2. Ross McCormack (Leeds United)

    McCormack's form has been one of the bright sparks for Leeds United this season. The Scotsman won the Player of the Month award for November after scoring seven goals, all without another Leeds player netting, including four against Charlton Athletic.

    3. Danny Drinkwater (Leicester City)

    Following McCormack, Drinkwater was the next Championship Player of the Month, in December, after several notable performances. His energy and strength in midfield, plus seven goals, has played a large part City’s success so far this season.

    4. Andy Reid (Nottingham Forest)

    In his second spell at Forest, Reid's five goals in the first 10 matches of the season underlined the team's promotion credentials as he was nominated for August's Player of the Month award.

    5. David Nugent (Leicester City)

    Nugent's two Play-Off Semi-Final goals against Watford weren't enough to help Leicester win promotion last season, but he's returned in fine form with goals and assists as he heads up the Foxes' attacking threat.

    6. Sam Vokes (Burnley)

    He has been overshadowed by team-mate Ings, but without Vokes' threat the Clarets wouldn't be as high as they are. Continuing to represent Wales, it's undoubtedly been the former Wolves' striker's best year.

    7. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

    Vardy admitted he initially struggled with the step-up from non-league football with Fleetwood Town but, after a move to the Foxes, Vardy has flourished as he causes havoc amongst Championship defences week-in, week-out.

    8. Kieran Trippier (Burnley)

    The full-back is not only a solid defender but also has the energy to support Burnley's attacking moves. With the ability to whip in dangerous crosses, Trippier is a forceful weapon.

    9. Aaron Cresswell (Ipswich Town)

    Left-back Creswell has been part of a miserly defence under Mick McCarthy but has also contributed at the other end with a couple of goals.

    10. Will Hughes (Derby County)

    The Football League's Young Player of the Year was also in the Top 10 for the overall Sky Bet Championship Player award. Playing as an attacking midfielder with mature, composed performances, it's hard to believe Hughes is still only 18.

    I'd put Vardy, Trippier, Vokes and Drinkwater higher.

    Nugent, McCormack, Reied and Hughes lower.


    Can't say that Hughes has done any better than Bryson, Austin, Kightly, Martin and Rhodes.

    For me;
    Ings
    Drinkwater
    McCormack
    Vokes
    Vardy
    Trippier
    Reid
    Nugent
    Cresswell
    Bryson

    Can't really argue with that list. In previous season's I would have put Morgan and Kasper in but they haven't been as flawless this season.
