With 10 league games gone who has been the top 3 players at your club so far this season?
UCD: Conor Kenna, Conan Byrne, Paul Byrne.
Cork City: Joe Gamble, Roy O'Donovan, Darragh Ryan.
sligo rovers:chris turner, seamus coleman, matt judge/or\fahudrin kudozovic
KCFC: Stapleton - came from Reading and has been class.
Amond - on loan from Rovers and I'd say they can't wait to get him back.
Philly Byrne -Excellent defender. Excellent captain.
Derry City: Paddy McCourt
Ken Oman
Peter Hutton
At Bohs you'd expect us to go with the line that none of those overpaid w@nkers deserve a "player of the first ten games" accolade but I'd have to say that for me the following three have been the most impressive:
Brian Murphy (GK)
Stephen Rice (nobody knew he could play football before)
Glen Crowe (really only based on the last two games in relation to scoring, however his overall game is better than I remember when he was with us in his first spell at the club)
Kevin Hunt looks like he's getting back to the form of a few years ago which is a good sign for us, but the above three have been the most outstanding under the circumstances.
Anytime I've seen him I really haven't been impressed. Would Joxer or Heary get a look in, in your top 3?Quote:

Joxer hasn't been living up to his hype, though he was great on Friday. O Heary has been doing well.
Chris Turner
Shamey Coleman
Matt Judge
Pats - Keith Fahey, Mark Quigley, Alan Kirby
Bohs: Glen Crowe and Brian Murphy are the obvious two.
Several others have improved a hell of a lot i.e. Stephen Rice, Jason McGuinness and Dessie Byrne. Owen Heary has been a great addition also.
Neal Fenn has been a major disapointment and how Chris Kingsberry gets a game over Fergal Harkin I'll never know!
Kildare County - Philly Gorman
Pauric Amond
Philly Byrne
I've seen him in all bar two games this season and he looks top notch. Joxer?.. not a chance so far this year. He had a decent game against Longford last Friday and did well when he came on against Shels earlier that week but aside from that he's been cack by his own standards.Quote:

A lad who has been vilified from some quarters when he played at full back for us, but since Connor has moved him into his preferred position in the centre of midfield I've been really impressed, so under the circumstance he deserves to be in my top three. Other notable improvers have been Dessie Byrne although I'd be more cool on McGuinness. He definately deserves credit as he's played in most of our matches and we've only conceded three goals but he's still inclined to give me the heebie jeebies when the ball arrives at his feet.
Seamus Coleman, Chris Turner, Gavin Peers(Just ahead of McKenzie). To the Rovers fans who said Judge, eh wtf? He scored two good goals, can't be judged(excuse the pun) just yet! He's only played like 3 games so far.
Galway : Reggie Noitmeer(by a distance), Alan Murphy, Ciaran Foley
Reggie is the best signing we've made in a decade or so. How long we can hold onto him is another problem as he is ambitious but he seems to enjoy living here. Murphy is coming back to form after a dodgy last season and Foley has stepped up his game since going full-time.
I'd go with Alan McNally in place of Byrne, but not a bad choice.Quote:

GUFC:
Reggie Noitmeer : Dutch defender who is our best player by a country mile.
Ciaran Foley : A leader. I can't believe he's not captain.
Derek O'Brien : Manager has transformed him from an underachiever into a pacy winger who can turn on a, er, Euro
Turner, Coleman, Dick Brush (immense improvement)
Don't tell me to watch it again, I've seen it plenty of times!Quote:

for me its Niall O'reilly (before joxer decided to send him to the hospital)
Mark Leech: Doesnt belong in the first division.
James Chambers: Brilliant and looks like he'll be a great player for years to come.
Gamble, Murray, Roy.
- Dean Pooley - class defender, ex Millwall.
- Brian Murphy - best keeper in the league, expect him to be back cross channel soon.
- Owen Heary - solid, dependable + setting up goals now as well!
Reggie Noitmeer: Dutch defender who is having a great season (suspended for UCD game on Friday unfortunately)
Ciaran Foley: Didn't think he would be as good in the Premier - Delighted he has proved me wrong.
Alan Murphy: Playing great stuff this year. Not great last year but seems to play better against the stronger teams
Bray - Clive Delaney, Alan Cawley, Paul Caffrey
Wexford Youths -
Patsi Malone, Biggest improvement every game, great in the air great workrate
Joey Wadding, Forced way into team, played everywhere great heart and a good shot
Marty Kelly/Conor Sinnott - Both been a bit inconsistent but also both played through injury and can't fault effort.
so little to choose from :(
Vinny Sullivan has been the most stand out for me this season. I'd like to thank Cork for giving him a year of full-time training without actually wasting his energy on playing matches :p Seriously though, he looks like he's benefitted a lot from the solid year of football.
I haven't seen enough matches this season to :mad: really pick out 2 others - it's the first season in ages where I've been at more away games than home games!
Turner , Coleman , Kudozovic
Gavin Peers
Chris Turner
Seamus Coleman
The jury is still out on Judge .....
McCourt
Oman
Can't honestly say anyone else has strung a few good performances together.
Indicative of our season so far.
gamble, o'donovan and sean kelly. yes, kelly hasn't played in weeks but i'd rather include him than any others involved with saturday's debacle.
100% agreed, O'Dowd deserves a mention too - some of the saves he has made have been amazing :cool:Quote:

Too true. :(Quote:

Mine, even allowing for most injurious predicaments, would be:
1. Paul Mac - performances ranging from solid to superb all season so far.
2. Kenny Browne - been outstanding since coming back from injury
3. Alan Keely - enough great displays early on to still be in the top 3.
