Phillips is a firm favs favourite in my eyes. Been a great player all season for us and added goals to his game. Well deserved.

 

[Pubey]

He runs a bit funny though.

He runs a bit funny though.

very odd running style indeed, but defends very well and as mentioned has scored plenty, although not for a while now IIRC

Yeah, in all seriousness he's an excellent player. Very classy and composed, rarely caught out and is a serious threat at the other end of the field.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

He runs a bit funny though.

One could almost say he has an absurd gait.

 

[james_c]

he probably thinks this because he doesnt get his name sung by our fans i would have thought.

 

[fredheim_holm]

He needs a song. Preferably something about his awkward yet awesome running style & his goal scoring exploits. Song writers, assemble!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I agree he needs a song. We'll be putting our heads together during the close season to come up with some new ones. There's a few players without songs.

By Phillips saying he's not a 'fans favourite', perhaps he was expecting Bilel to win it!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Yeah, in all seriousness he's an excellent player. Very classy and composed, rarely caught out and is a serious threat at the other end of the field.

My MOTM on Saturday (along with Grant).
