However if you pay attention you will see that I am continuing my one man protest about having 5 MOMs..

You're not choosing 5 though and neither is anyone else, it's just a criteria for selecting the best one player over a season. I struggled to find a fifth player worthy of naming from yesterday and found it a toss-up between Bevan and Mansell as they were the only ones left who were not a disappointment in my opinion. Bevan had very little to do, Mansell was quiet by his standards, but I felt we dominated them in midfield for most of the game and it certaibly wasn't down to Wroe who needs a spell on the bench for me, just to stop him thinking he's irreplaceable, he needs to work harder at his game and is a shadow of the player we know he can be, has been for some time in my view. Stevens showed glimpses of what we know he can do, leaving Nicholson exposed being a glaring example. Gritton was poor, Robbo was average (at one point he lost an aerial challenge to a player who was then beaten comfortably by Eunan). That's how I came to my decision on who to vote for, as for the order, it was a toss-up between O'Kane and Branston, with the Pickler winning it for me with his superb second half display when I was worried we were going to throw away a point we more than deserved. Eunan was a worthy second place in my order. Then it was easily Ellis and Zebs for the following two slots, both worked very hard all game and put in a good shift.
So, 5 are asked for, and 5 I gave, simples !!
