I must say, it was quite outstanding the way he got turned inside out and put on his arse a few times by Taarabt at the weekend.

If Kirkland had played 15 games I'd be looking for the cheapest bus route to Exeter.

I think he will be 46 and playing for Newport County before he plays another 15 games

These are very interesting statistics. Yakubu has clearly been more effective than he sometimes appears. Howard's figures are even more impressive considering he has had so few starts.

The problem with King, Wellens, Gallagher and latterly Naughton is that none of them have been consistently good. They're all good players but haven't been stand out for me.
If King had maintained the form of October to February, he'd have walked it. But he hasn't.
For me the obvious contenders are Bamba who has been excellent since arriving and Yakubu. However the leakiness of the defence has included some sloppy lapses from Bamba. Yakubu has scored 9 in 18 with 5 assists - that is outstanding. He's also a class act and has given us an extra dimension I've not seen from us for years. For these reasons he gets my vote.

Yakubu's assist vs Sheffield United was in probably the best assist of the season, had forgotten all about it, but the overhead flick while down sitting on his arse was utter genius.

And yet people say he doesn't contribute enough for the team, 4 league goals, 5 assists & like you say he has had so few games.

I've said it before but I really can't remember a season where we've scored so many brilliant goals.

It's always nice to see 25/30 yarders but it's easy to miss the build up play. King's vs Derby had some FANTASTIC movement and passes, as did Van Aarnholt's vs Burnley. Brilliant football. Shame we've a coulinder defence, really.
It also had no closing down or tackling.
