jordon obita wins player of the season and players player of the season for hibs

He's had a good season.

Hoilett's had a phenomenally good spell at Aberdeen too. 7 assists and 2 goals in 13 matches in a team who have been absolutely shite all season.

Kelly (and Norwood for good measure) were both decent players but it’s about integrating them into the right system which is where they both struggled to an extent. Wouldn’t call them one dimensional as such but certainly wouldn’t describe them as all rounder players

Partnering Norwood with Williams for example (a bit of a headless chicken) didn’t work, neither mixing Kelly with the likes of Dave Edwards or Aluko (who took up the exact same spot as Kelly did)

I do think we’re quite quick to jump on players’ backs and write them off without seeing more of a bigger picture

Don’t think anyone wrote off Norwood, he was good for us, but do agree the Williams partnership was disappointing- I thought it looked good on paper

Kelly kind of went downhill with the rest of the team from what I remember. I suspect us getting rid was as much about getting the wage off the book at the time. Then he just lost his way a bit. Tbf he’d made more appearances in div2 than I thought and is now up to 220 games so it’s not like he tossed it away totally

Thinking back I’m not sure who he paired with best. Swift and him were very lightweight, Williams was a bit of a solo player - maybe Joey VDB was a good foil

Loads of people didn’t rate Norwood.

Yeah but strange that. Wonder if he’ll come back here

A player I seem to remember being played out wide when he wasn't a wide player and we had about 6 wingers in the squad.

[JedMaxwell]

Yeah he was a diminutive central midfielder who didn't quite fit the English way of playing. Certainly would have taken him some time to get used to it.

I recall him playing a game at right-back and being very decent.

Sean Long and Luke Southwood have both informed Cheltenham that they will be leaving this summer when their contracts expire.

[Snowflake Royal]

Good luck to them both.

We're well overstocked on keeper, but if we weren’t Southwood wouldn’t be a bad shout.

Sean Long would be worth a look though. Yiadom is getting on, Abrefa isn’t setting the world alight just yet and we're not exactly overstocked on experience at CB.

Would never have thought of him as manager material but good luck to him.
The article didn't mention his very successful time at Bristol Rovers.

Was that very successful time with the Chairman’s daughter … allegedly

Renowned for his scoring prowess of course.

Obviously still a fox in the box.
