League One League 1 Team of the Season

Stockton missing is a disgrace. Obviously Morecambe aren’t flashy enough for him to be included.
McLeary not getting in either after his season at Wycombe is a surprise.

If Wes Burns is down as a defender then surely it's Robinson who is managing this team.
Personally think a certain Mr. Brannagan can feel hard done by, too. 14 goals from centre midfield is a ridiculously good return and he's outscored some proper decent attackers at this level. Probably a case of yellow tinted glasses.

5 penalties though, Brannagan has had a good season but the other 4 named in that team have had better seasons and all play for teams still in the promotion hunt.

Not surprising we aren't going up, all the best players are somewhere else!!
Do penalties not count or something?
They do count, Rob.

Well they do to the score sheet. Scoring 5 penalties isn't the equivalent to scoring 5 from open play and I bet even Cameron would agree with that.
They do count... But really they don't count? What about goals from set pieces? Direct free kicks? A goal is a goal.

Most of Taylor's are from about a yard so I'm not sure they should count.
I think anything inside the six yard box should be given as half a goal. A penalty a quarter of a goal and anything outside the box as 2 goals. Anything inside the box but not in the six yard box should be one standard goal. If it's from your own half the game ends with the team who scored that goal winning no matter the scoreline. Simple isn't it?

But a free kick is harder to score than a penalty due to a wall of players being allowed to stand 10 yards away. I could be subbed on everytime we win a penalty and score 10 every season, would that make me a good player?
Cam is a great player at this level and probably would of made the list if we were in the top 2 but with Twine scoring 16 and assisting 13 it's not surprising he didn't.
You could miss them, does that make you a bad player?
The whole "penalties are easier" argument is a load of rubbish. It's the kind thing the likes of Kip believe

But what I'm saying is scoring a penalty doesn't require fitness, stamina or even much skill. It's striking a ball 12 yards out.
Ah, so you'll be our penalty taker next season seeing as anyone can do it?

Hmmm, two of our best players Taylor and Henry made right pigs ears of penalties this season.

but using your argument, Cam is a great player but can only make that team if we are top 2, That's not what a League 11 should represent is it?

Broadly speaking it would be easy enough to make up an 11 from the teams above us because there are too many of them. 
The "Team of the Season" is probably more about consistency than anything else, and that is lacking in our team.

I don't think we can complain. I'm sure Brannagan and Taylor would be on the notional bench.

Or this season's half time entertainment at the Kassam, where Clive from the East Stand aims for the crossbar and hits the corner flag.

No as I'm not a winger so Karl won't like me.

Well Cole Stockton didn't make the list, that tells you everything.

You can make an argument for Alfie May as well as Stockton.
Most of the selections seem reasonable....
I would have had Ogbene over MacLean
Cowley has lost his mind over Cooper versus Bazuma....he really is a bit of one......
Others that might have had a shout....Keane and Lang from Wigan and Camara from us.....he is consistently the player opposition fans wish they could sign....

Yes. Winnall's on the bench.
I agree, none of our players have had exceptional seasons, certainly in comparison with their peers.
Woolfenden at Ipswich is the best centre back I’ve seen this season. Greg Leigh at Morecambe was the best left back I saw too. Oh and how is Stockton not in that line up ? Best striker, bar none, in L1.
These teams/awards are always b*****s, no point taking them seriously.
The only goals that should count are overhead kicks from outside the box that go in the top hand corner by the way.
