Cork is star again at Reading
Jack Cork stretched his lead at the top of the Clarets Mad Player of the Year Table with another man of the match performance at Reading a week ago today. Not for the first time this season midfielder Cork has won both the man of the match award and the player ratings, in fact it is the fourth time he's won both in the same game.He won the man of the match with 24.9% of the vote with Chris Eagles coming in second with a 15.3% share. Tyrone Mears took third place with 12.6% of the vote.It was somewhat different in the player ratings although again Cork came out on top. He won it with a rating of 7.28 out of 10 ahead of Mears who was second this time. His rating was 7.11. Wade Elliott and Steven Thompson, the latter getting his first league start of the season, shared third place with both getting a rating of 6.89 out of 10.That gives Cork six points. There are three points for Mears, two for Eagles and one each for Elliott and Thompson. Those points mean Cork has now gone 16 points clear at the top whilst Eagles, in second place, is now 18 points clear of Andre Bikey who is third. Mears has moved above both Elliott and Lee Grant into fifth place.The voting is currently underway for the Port Vale cup tie and will continue until the end of Wednesday, after which will be a two day poll for the December goal of the month with the choices being the two goals against Leeds and the two on Boxing Day against Barnsley.Clarets Mad Player of the Year Table67: Jack Cork51: Chris Eagles33: Andre Bikey25: Clarke Carlisle21: Tyrone Mears20: Wade Elliott & Lee Grant18: Jay Rodriguez13: Chris Iwelumo11: Brian Jensen9: Brian Easton & Dean Marney8: Michael Duff & Ross Wallace6: Martin Paterson3: Leon Cort, John Guidetti & Steven Thompson1: Graham Alexander & Danny Fox
