Elliott and Fox get top billing from Pompey game

02 May 2011 14:57
Wade Elliott and Danny Fox were considered our two best players in last Monday's home draw against Portsmouth with Elliott winning the man of the match vote and Fox coming out on top in the player ratings. Elliott had scored in the previous home game against Middlesbrough and had also got the third two days before the Portsmouth game in the 4-2 win at Derby. They were his first two league goals of the season and he believes he had a third in this game, getting a touch to the goal that was credited to Chris Eagles.Nevertheless, he was the winner of our man of the match poll, taking a 25.4% share of the vote, just ahead of Eagles who had 21.7%. Left back Danny Fox came third with 12.1% of the vote.Fox, however, took first place in the player ratings with a rating of 7.07 out of 10. That was just ahead of Brian Jensen who was second. His rating was 6.86 and Elliott was third with a rating of 6.79 out of 10.Both Elliott and Fox win 4 votes towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year and there are two points each for Eagles and Jensen. Those points will make no difference now to the winner. With the Clarets having failed to reach the play offs we now have just one game to go and that has ensured Jack Cork takes the Clarets Mad Player of the Year title.The results from the Portsmouth game are below, along with the current table for the player of the year. Meanwhile, the voting continues for the man of the match from the game at Leeds and that will run until the end of tomorrow.Man of the Match25.4% - Wade Elliott21.7% - Chris Eagles12.1% - Danny Fox9.8% - Chris McCann8.1% - Jack Cork7.2% - Michael Duff4.9% - Jay Rodriguez2.9% - Brian Jensen2.6% - Tyrone Mears2.0% - Andre Bikey1.4% - Chris Iwelumo0.9% - Nathan Delfouneso & Steven ThompsonPlayer Ratings7.07 - Danny Fox6.86 - Brian Jensen6.82 - Wade Elliott6.79 - Chris Eagles6.61 - Jack Cork & Michael Duff6.54 - Tyrone Mears6.46 - Chris McCann6.29 - Jay Rodriguez5.75 - Andre Bikey5.71 - Chris Iwelumo4.86 - Steven Thompson4.79 - Nathan DelfounesoClarets Mad Player of the Year Table108: Jack Cork83: Chris Eagles55: Jay Rodriguez47: Andre Bikey42: Tyrone Mears36: Wade Elliott32: Lee Grant31: Clarke Carlisle30: Dean Marney26: Michael Duff25: Danny Fox20: Brian Jensen19: Ross Wallace14: Chris Iwelumo10: Marvin Bartley9: Brian Easton6: Martin Paterson5: Nathan Delfouneso3: Leon Cort, John Guidetti, Chris McCann & Steven Thompson1: Graham Alexander & Charlie Austin
