Steve Howard -
Possibly
the most important player in our promotion season with a Howard goal
being the difference between one point and three on numerous
occasions. Howard was also not averse to dropping back and defending
the lead in front of the defence. A lot was asked of him in the
Premier League and like many others, struggled to step up.
Best Moment: You
could pick any single goal away victory where he scored but it has
to be his three goals in the two games at Southampton.
Worst Moment:
His
Penalty miss against Blackburn this season.
Matt Oakley-
As a captain he
neither screamed at people nor smashed up the opposition. However,
the end justified the means as he lead us to promotion. One of the
few who didn’t look out his depth in the Premier League but needed
better players around him.
Best Moment:
His scorching 30
yarder against WBA at home. Lifting the Play-off trophy.
Worst Moment:
Admitted before Bolton away that the game was up and he was
struggling to motivate players. Sold himself short big time signing
for Leicester.
Jon Macken -
He
would have been alright as an insurance policy against Howard for
six months. However, Billy signed him for 18, bigged him up and
played him ahead of Lupoli. Last January peopled wondered why and
we’re still none the wiser. Keegan must have been on crack to pay
£5million for this guy.
Best Moment:
Surprisingly picked in a 4-4-2 at Southampton away in the Play-Off’s
semi. The Rams won 2-1, job done.
Worst Moment:
Hull
at home. He failed to score, Hull didn’t, the rot set in.
