Player of the season......so far?

[ramAnag]

Probably one that won't have occurred to anybody else but, IMO, Kelle Roos deserves a mention. 6 games, 3 clean sheets. 16 MOTM votes from forum members in those 6 games. 50% clean sheet record to Marshall's 31.8%.

Nobody's going to get POTS from 6 starts but he has to be our unsung hero of the season. Other mentions to Clarke, Wis, Knight and Bielik. For me the 2 stand outs, now Bielik looks like being out of the equation, are Buchanan and Shinnie. Shinnie just edges it for me.

As you say, MA...Roos won’t get POTS because of his limited appearances...but his performances do point to the fact that we’d miss the likes of CKR, Clarke, Wiz and Shinnie far more than Marshall imo. Credit where it’s due and Roos certainly deserves some.

As an aside I reckon Derby will have had 25-30 established ‘keepers in the time you’ve been supporting. Out of interest who do you, and others of a certain vintage think was the best...and the worst if you like?

Many might go for Shilton, although I think his kicking would have restricted him in the modern game. Personally I think Poom, but he wasn’t immune to error, and I did have a lot of time for ‘shorty’ Martin Taylor.
