    Chester - In a different league to the others, doubt any of the others have his range of passing or could do what he does to Brady week in, week out.
    Hobbs - I think he isn't as good as last year, think he needs a pre-season.
    Faye - I think in pure terms of talent he is better than Hobbs, issue is his fitness.
    Bruce - I don't rate him that highly but if he could pass he would be a lot better.
    Mcshane - His positioning is still awful, but its just not as bad as it was, you don't win awards for most improved.

    The gap between the top three and the last two is huge.

    I'd agree with that. Bruce is quite a way behind the rest though.

    Bollocks.

    That's the only award I was ever in contention for as a youngster.

    Then there's the coach's son, I mean, the clubman award.

    I once won a runners up trophy in a karting race in Essex.

    I only won, because the bloke in front of me snapped his chain and everyone else was ****.

    But I still won.

    I've just remembered, I actually won a poster competition in the HDM in about 1972.

    It was a road safety campaign, I can't actually remember what was in my picture, but I bet it was good.

    Sounds like you've blanked it out. I hope you didn't get to meet Jimmy Savile as part of your prize.

    Bradley might be (is) a bit of an idiot but I'm quite looking forward to seeing him back at the club, he seems to be doing pretty well for Aldershot from the little that I've seen.

    Cooper will be one that bites us on the arse for letting him go, I've no doubts about it.

    Chester has the edge for me, simply because he is so difficult for players to get past.
    Hobbs clears up well
    Faye has all the experience but sometimes goes missing
    Bruce puts in a shift every game, it's a pity he gets hurt so much
    McShane is always a worry for me. But I love being proved wrong.

    Harsh, he's been really solid for us this season. Nothing flash just a proper centre half.

    True, but he's a long way behind the others as a player, he looks so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet, it's just a hack forward every time, or he gets rid of it as quick as he can.

    I agree with that but as I said to OLM, he just doesn't make mistakes. As a defender he does the bare minimum really well. McShane might try and do a bit more than that, but his actual defending isn't as good as Bruce, or any of the others.

    Chezzy Hobbs Bruce Faye and Macca for me - probably Faye second if he was a few years younger and somewhat more mobile than he is now.

    Chezzy and Hobbs for obvious reasons - Bruce because hes pretty solid and a good talker.
