Lets see how everyone differs.
Pick one player who has impressed you the most this season for one reason or another. Doesn't have to be who you think is the player of the year.
Equally, pick one player who has disappointed you the most this season, and why. Try and keep it constructive.

Disappointed - Thomas - thought he would set this division a light this year with skill, assists and goals. Unfortunately the only thing he seems to have set alight was the hob on his oven to cook some burgers. No end product.
Disappointed - Has to be Gray. Clearly a much better player (13 goals for Burnley) than we have seen of him so far. Still hope that a goal will turn things around and we see the best of him. Maybe being "the replacement for Reid" was too much expectation for him.
Disappointed: Jerome Thomas - has the skill and the ability to be a premiership player and at CCC level should be one of the division's top players, but has been in and out the side with too many unexplained illnesses injuries which masks what I suspect is a poor attitude to training and the club.
Thoams should really shine but has failed to deliver
Dis-appointed - Fortune, for someone with as much Premier League experience to make so little impression on the first team is nothing short of scandalous.
Disappointed - Thomas we all now he's got the game just hasn't got the desire and Andy Gray - he must have something but we haven't found it yet
Disappointed - Iwelumo. Apart from his goals i think he offers nothing to the side. He's been played up front alone but he can't win any balls in the air because he won't jump, he can't hold the ball up and he hasn't got any pace. When he plays up front with another e.g Varney he hasn't got the abillity or mind to hit the space varney makes with his runs, he's easy to mark hasn't got a first touch and all in all i think he's absoloutely apalling. Say's a lot when he's our top scorer.
Disappointed - McLeod - thought he had the potential to be a gem and the next Baby Bent. Maybe he still does....?
Disappointed - Andy Gray. Don't think he is a bad player, and may come good next year. But he was signed mid-season to help push us on short-term and the opposite has happened. All strikers go through lean spells goal-wise, but the fact he so rarely looks like scoring is a major concern.
Disappointed - Iwelumo - For a big man he is not that good in the air. He probably doesnt get a fair deal from refs but then so many fouls seem to revolve around him and break up play. Its probably that I dont like the style of play with him in the side as much as him personally.
Disapointed: This award has to go to Thomas. After being at the club for a few years he has so much promise but never delivers, he can no longer hide behind the excuse of him being a young player, he haas the talent but he is not using it enough, another disapointment is how he conducts himself off the pitch, someone get hold of him and tell that what he has is what most people would give their right arm for,a footballers carrer will finish when he is 33/34 he can then go clubbing and have as many fights in a pizza hut after that as he wants until then train hard every day, enjoy your football and enetertain the crowd,
Disappointed - Mcleod - for what he cost it scares me how little ability he's shown so far.....shocking imo
Both give us class going forward, Reidy more so of course, they stand out because there is so little "quality" elsewhere in the team. Bougherra, Semedo & ZZ are perhaps the only other quality players.
Disappointed: Thomas, he has the skill to tear up this league, but he seems to be more interested in clubbing and missing games with a runny nose. When he does turn up he looks fancy and delivers little.
Disappointed - Thomas, for all the reasons above
Disapointed I am going to go with Mcleod wasnt given the best of chances but never grabbed the chance wehen he was given it
Disapointed.....all the usual characters, but for me it has to be the tactical naivity of Alan Pardew. I just wish he would get his head down and get on with it instead of raising our expectations. Happy to persevere for now, however.
The perennial Thomas, Sinclair, Cook, Halford, McLeod (albeit in limited appearances)and especially Gray flatter to deceive.
Disappointed......CAFC for the fact that us fans any further than the oak obviously arent worth the paper we are written on.....
hence can't give proper opinion.....
(just writting than has really wound me up!)
Disappointed:- Toddy came in showed ealry promise but has been quiet of late.
Impressed:
3 ... Ambrose, Bougherra, McCarthy
2 ... Holland
1 ... Sodje, Varney, Weaver, Youga, ZZ
Disappointed:
8 ... Thomas
3 ... McLeod
2 ... Iwelumo, Gray
1 ... Fortune
Disappointed: Thomas, always either injured/sick/inconsistent. I actually thought he had a decent game on Saturday, let's hope it's the start of seeing some form from him.
Disappointed: Thomas with Iwelumo a close second. Thomas for all the aforementioned reasons, and Iwelumo for his poor finishingi I know its not right to pin our situation on a miss here and there, and credit to him he got our winners at bristol and saints, but the miss at coventry and the miss at home to watford were inexcusable, also remember one shocking moment at home to stoke form half a yard out. However the biggest disappointment for me thus far is that Toddy got injured, really think he had a touch of class, particularly after fatty left he could have been dynamite, not sure if he'll come back firing either now, 2 injuries like that in your ca\reer at over 30 cannot be good.
Disappointed: the lack of progress with our youngsters. Last season Randolph went on loan to league 1, and played one prem match for us; this year he's only in league 2. Sankofa has been on loan in league 1 before, and started several prem games last year; this year league 2. Nobody wants Basey or Racon on loan, and I don't know why.
Disappointed - I had to think hard on this but I'm going to give it to ZZ, purely because I expected more from him. He's a far better player than he's showed.
Thought somebody would object to my submission.
The fact that he cost nothing is irrelevant. Thats purely down to his previous contract.
He batters as much as he gets battered.
And I would be disappointed if a striker didnt get goals.
I cant disagree on effort and honesty. And as I posted its as much the style of play when he is in the side as the man himself.
ZZ most disappointing. Wow.
