Bartley takes honours again in Reading defeat

20 October 2011 16:08
Marvin Bartley has certainly taken his chance in the midfield and was again voted our best player in both the man of the match vote and the player ratings following the 1-0 home defeat against Reading.

It was another performance that brought with it some very low scores in the player ratings, but Bartley's rating was certainly high enough, coupled with yet another big percentage in the man of the match vote.

It's his third man of the match success this season, and, whilst he didn't come close to the 82.4% he won following the home draw against Southampton, it was another outstanding success with a 69.2% share.

Again, it left the remaining players picking up the bits and goalkeeper Lee Grant won more bits than any other player, taking second place with a 6.6% share, whilst 5.1% of the vote won central defender David Edgar third place.

Bartley was also a clear winner in the player ratings. His rating of 7.24 out of 10 was more than a full mark ahead of anyone else with Grant again taking second place. His rating was 6.10 and was the only other rating to reach the average mark of 6 out of 10. Third place this time was right back Kieran Trippier who had a rating of 5.95 out of ten.

Bartley wins the maximum six points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year. There are four points for Grant and one each for Edgar and Trippier.

Trippier still leads the table with 23 points, but his lead is now only 3 points with Bartley having moved into second place. Grant is now in the top five having climbed above Charlie Austin.

The results from the Barnsley game are below along with the current player of the year table. Meanwhile the vote continues for the Barnsley game and will do so until the end of tomorrow (Friday).
