Rodriguez takes first place in Middlesbrough win

25 April 2011 09:31
Burnley certainly returned to form last Tuesday with a 3-1 win against Middlesbrough and it was Jay Rodriguez who was voted our best player in both the man of the match and the player ratings. He scored the goal that gave us the lead midway through the first half, a lead that was doubled within a minute by Wade Elliott, and he turned in an excellent all round performance.He picked up 35.5% of the man of the match vote to take first place ahead of Dean Marney who had 21.8% for second place. Wade Elliott was third with a 13.2% share.Danny Fox was fourth in the man of the match vote but he and Elliott swapped places in the player ratings with the top two remaining the same. Jay's rating of 8.64 out of 10 gave him first place with Marney again right behind with a rating of 8.32. Fox and Elliott both had ratings over 8 but it was Fox who took the third place with a rating of 8.11 out of 10.That gives Jay the maximum six points in the Player of the Year Table, Marney wins four points and there is one point each for Elliott and Fox.With neither of the top two picking up points there are no changes at the top but Jay Rod has now moved eight points clear of Andre Bikey in third place. Elliott is now joint sixth whilst the points for Marney and Fox have not changed their position in the table.Voting is currently ongoing for the man of the match from Saturday's 4-2 win at Derby. That will run until the end of tomorrow (Tuesday) and will immediately be followed (Wednesday to Friday) with the man of the match vote from the home game against Portsmouth.The full result from the Middlesbrough game is below along with the current Player of the Year Table.Man of the Match35.5% - Jay Rodriguez21.8% - Dean Marney13.2% - Wade Elliott8.9% - Danny Fox7.6% - Jack Cork4.7% - Chris Eagles3.8% - Michael Duff2.3% - Chris Iwelumo1.1% - Andre Bikey & Brian Jensen0.2% - Tyrone MearsPlayer Ratings8.64 - Jay Rodriguez8.32 - Dean Marney8.11 - Danny Fox8.04 - Wade Elliott7.89 - Chris Eagles7.68 - Jack Cork7.64 - Andre Bikey7.43 - Chris Iwelumo7.38 - Michael Duff7.04 - Tyrone Mears6.87 - Brian JensenClarets Mad Player of the Year Table105: Jack Cork75: Chris Eagles55: Jay Rodriguez47: Andre Bikey42: Tyrone Mears32: Wade Elliott & Lee Grant31: Clarke Carlisle30: Dean Marney26: Michael Duff21: Danny Fox19: Ross Wallace18: Brian Jensen14: Chris Iwelumo10: Marvin Bartley9: Brian Easton6: Martin Paterson5: Nathan Delfouneso3: Leon Cort, John Guidetti & Steven Thompson1: Graham Alexander & Charlie Austin
