It's Player of the Season, not player of the last two months.

As I say, he started 4 before Christmas. In fact 3 before 20th December (where he started at Hillsborough instead of Golbourne, we lost 4-1 and he was diabolical). So if he basically wasn't in the team for an entire half of the season (which he wasn't, the fat bastard) and poxy <10 minute sub appearances (which were all he was getting, by and large) are neither here nor there, then he should be disqualified from serious contention by default. Leaving aside that in a good chunk of the starts he did eventually get, he looked like a League of Ireland player.

An entire half of a season would mean he played 23 games or fewer though?

As I say, he may not have deserved it, I can't remember.

But 34 of 46 (plus cup games) is a significant number.

We played 21 games before he came in for Golbourne. That is so close to MATHEMATICALLY being half a season that it really isn't worth quibbling about.

Of those 21 games, he played:

Charlton (H), Bolton (A), Middlesbrough (H) (all starts)
Blackburn (A), Brighton (H), Huddersfield (H), Brentford (H), Birmingham (A), Bristol City (A) (all on as sub)

Those sub appearances totalled 0, 0, 3, 12, 1 and 12 minutes. So none of them really worth counting at all, although the Brentford display did contain the infamous Philipp Hofmann goal where he jumps about an inch off the ground, misses a free header, ambles back and appeals for....something to the linesman as the big lug rounds future World Cup winner Emi Martinez and sticks it in.

He more or less didn't play for half a season, and when he did, he was appalling. You know this though.
