PFA Championship Team of the Year

[Iceybabey]

Said it before and I'll say it again, shove that up your arses.

That is all.

Well done Clarkey lad. UTB

 

[Deaneandagana]

Well done Leon, proved me wrong as I said we should have kept Che Adams & signing Leon was a big mistake.

Funny old game.

PFA Team of the Years for United players since the awards were established for the 1973/74 season. Clarke is the first striker of ours to be recognised in a PFA team of the year at this level.

1973/74: Tony Currie (first tier)
1979/80: Alex Sabella (third tier)
1981/82: Keith Waugh (fourth tier)
1983/84: Keith Edwards and Colin Morris (third tier)
1988/89: Tony Agana (third tier)
1995/96: Alan Kelly (second tier)
1996/97: Alan Kelly (second tier)
2002/03: Michael Brown and Michael Tonge (second tier)
2003/04: Phil Jagielka (second tier)
2005/06: Phil Jagielka (second tier)
2008/09: Kyle Naughton (second tier)
2011/12: Harry Maguire, Stephen Quinn and Ched Evans (third tier)

2016/17: Simon Moore, Kieron Freeman, Mark Duffy, John Fleck and Billy Sharp (third tier)

Hard to believe Keith Edwards didn't get in the 4th division team and that Deano didn't get in either the 3rd or 2nd division team.

And if anyone needed a reminder of how good TC was ......

 

[Pierre's PC]

Fully deserved.
Well done Leon.
NOW DROP HIM CHRIS ffs...grrrrrr

Drop. Clarke and play Sharp or Wilson

As if by magic

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Hard to believe Keith Edwards didn't get in the 4th division team and that Deano didn't get in either the 3rd or 2nd division team.

Indeed. Other surprises looking at that for me were no Holdsworth in 96/97, and no Borbokis in 97/98.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Well done Leon, still proving people wrong.

 

[The Crab]

Or more to the point, where are all their La Liga superstars on that list?

"injured"

 

[mosbolad]

But he's rubbish! I've read it on here!

PFA? What can an association made up solely of Championship Professional footballers know about....erm....football!!!

 

[Silent Blade]

Well done Leon.

We went up second in 89/90 and none of our players made the side

Tracy
Bryson
Deane

Should all have got in that season.

Isn't plastic banned on here yet?

 

[Rob86]

Very good season and well deserved for being at the top of the scoring charts this year. He’s exceeded expectation so very chuffed for him.

I’ll take cover, but I still think we need to replace him as our main striker next season, but he’s definitely still be in the squad. Probably the only one of our strikers that should be

 

[itsinyerblood]

Hard to believe I know, but no Rhodes? You pay a fortune and what do you get, a penalty-phobic, overly precious wage thief. Makes you wonder if there's anyone over at the sty who can recognise talent when it's available.

 

[Tommoblade66]

Surprised we didn't get a couple more edged in. Anyone know what the near misses were?

 

[Redflame]

Whats with all the shit the guys done a great job for us even when he has an off game his work rate never lets us down LEON LEON LEON UTB

 

[Blade58]

Guess who's upfront?...



Congrats, Leon!

Obviously fake news

The real PFA Championship team of the year has 6 Wendy players in it

 

[tomtheblade]

Well done Leon. Really is deserved.

Only one i'd question on there is the GK. Ruddy is a good keeper no doubt but sometimes it does seem like they're picked because they were part of the best team in the league rather than being the actual best goalkeeper.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

That Brian blessed is an oinker,I’ve seen e few of his comments before-never played a decent standard of football and talks out of his sphincter!

 

[Jan Age]

He was man of the match against Brentford 1st game of season and had a spectacular scoring start that was always going to fade away.

His work rate is great apart from the odd games and he’s a real handful for defenders.

Found himself amongst the goals again recently,

Doesn’t hide when things aren’t going right.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Obviously fake news

That's the PFA If they hadn't been injured or rubbish Championship team of the year

 

[Tony Currie]

It's important to remember a lot of the votes will come from opposition defenders - Leon has never given them a minutes rest.

Well deserved!

 

[Blade for Sale]

Hard to believe Keith Edwards didn't get in the 4th division team and that Deano didn't get in either the 3rd or 2nd division team.

Harsh on Deane, especially in the 3rd division, but he was beaten by Agana (they scored 30 a piece that season and I think Agana was seen as the better all round striker) and Steve Bull who scored just about every week.

thought the Aston Villa lad was the best ..

I think he should take over as club announcer once Gary Sinclair retites

Sounds ecstatic as always

We often criticise our players for not taking chances, but we have to realise we bought Clarke from 150k from a soon to be League 2 club and he’s the joint 2nd highest scorer. He’s competing with players who are ten years younger and literally worth 10-20 times more than him, and he’s showing no difference in quality. Regardless where we finish we should really take a step back and admire how far we and our players have come.
