votes only for ex City players… and managed to get nobody into the side.
The side read as follows: Chris Weale (Yeovil) Sam Ricketts (Swansea) Adam Barrett (Southend) Andy Crosby (Scunthorpe) Michael Rose (Yeovil) Lee Johnson (Yeovil) Darren Way (Yeovil) Kevin Maher (Southend) Peter Beagrie (Scunthorpe) Phil Jevons (Yeovil) Lee Trundle (Swansea)
It seems sad only the top four teams efforts have been recognised whilst the endeavour of teams like City goes largely unrecognised. As mentioned on this site before Mazza, Morgs and Gainy have all performed consistently and impressively against a whole host of the players on display in the ‘Team of the season’. It also beggars belief that everyone’s favourite OAP Peter Beagrie has made the side again despite a largely lack lustre season. This could have something to do with the awards being voted on in December before the cold weather began playing Beagries hip up! It even more startling when you remember Beagrie plays up front on the left, the same position as in form Imps striker Simon Yeo who should
have been a sure fire contender.
Elsewhere in the division players like Mark Bailey will also be aggravated at not making the side. Bailey has once again been a brilliant performer on the right for Macclesfield and for a second year running should have made the grade. John Finnigan has pulled the strings in a mediocre Cheltenham side but for me out punched the likes of Darren Wray and Kevin Maher. Possibly the anti Lincoln bias runs deeper than just excluding the current squad.
Although most of the football world will recognise these awards mean very little having been voted on before half the season is up, but the fact City players have been omitted once again is a travesty and something League Two footballers should be ashamed of. Lincoln may not be the most popular side in the league but other sides don’t seem to be able to acknowledge a skilled and efficient unit that wins games and consistently achieves top seven finishes (touch wood). If only more footballers thought like Garry Birtles and Peter Taylor, two professionals who were only too happy to endorse Lincoln as ambassadors of lower league football.
