Man of the Match season standings 15/46
Here are the category leaders after another five game chunk:
Overall votes:
- Low - 136
- Leahy - 125
- Scowen - 115
- Potts - 110
- Stryjek - 61
- Phillips - 58
- Vokes - 52
Votes per start:
- Low - 13.6
- Scowen - 9.58
- Potts - 8.46
- Leahy - 8.33
- Phillips - 7.25
- McCleary - 7.00
- Vokes - 5.20
Man of the Match awards:
- Scowen - 3
- Low - 2
- Leahy - 2
- Potts - 2
- Stryjek - 2
- Phillips - 2
- Vokes & McCleary - 1
Despite Low's lead in the first two categories, 113 of his votes were over just two games, and it will be hard for him to win overall, though a top five should be doable. Scowen is the usual favourite, but between his injury and some others coming on, this may be the year he has to accept a silver or bronze overall.
Currently, all of the recent momentum at the top is with Leahy and Potts, who have both been on a bit of a tear. With Scowen out and Low adding votes slowly, I expect them to be first and second overall soon, and I personally think they have overtaken Scowen as favourites.
Special dark horse mention to Kian Phillips, who has gained 54 of his 58 votes over the past four games, and could well end up solidly in the top five at this point.
The excel is below if anyone wants to see the full picture.

Re: Match Day Thread: Oxford
Here's my tuppence worth:
Under Gareth Ainsworth there was a clear message from the very top that ours was a club where people of all beliefs, faiths, skin colour, nationality, sexual orientation and opinions were permitted and indeed encouraged to be themselves without fear of judgement or criticism from others.
It's pretty much the thing that makes me most proud to be a Wycombe supporter.
If anyone thinks it is acceptable to abuse one of our young players for some perceived lack of respect (it clearly was no such thing) then they should go and support someone else. Such behaviour would be so far removed from what we are as a club.
I'm hoping that Phillips plays tonight because a) he's a bloody good footballer and b) he deserves to hear the support that I'm sure he will get from the Wycombe fans.
It's really dismal to have to address such matters, but it's even more dismal to read some of the comments that have been posted on Twitter and elsewhere.
Let's show Killian and the wider football community what we're all about tonight
Re: RIP Dave Finch
The untimely passing of Dave is a huge loss to his wife Lynden, his children Sarah and David, and his grandchildren, and my condolences go to them.
I first got to know Dave in the late 80s/early 90s when, along with Adrian Wood and Rob Cairney, we produced the matchday programme. When we were promoted to the Football League, we realised that we did not have a fully documented history of the club with line-ups, so we decided it was time to publish one. For the next two years we would spend a lot of time on the microfiche machines at Wycombe library, Dave more so then me, poring over the Bucks Free Press reports and news. Dave was responsible for all of the stats.
Dave, as the club's official statistician, was a stickler for accuracy. I remember when we had beaten Bournemouth 3-2 away in 95-96, and two goals were credited to John Williams. Dave knew that Williams had not touched the ball for the first, it was an own goal, confirmed on video. Dave was quite certain it should go down as an own goal in the programme but manager Alan Smith was having none of it. Williams was having a lean spell in front of goal and Smith wanted to boost his confidence, so Dave reluctantly had to give way. Once Smith had departed, Dave made sure the goal was recorded as an own goal.
I always looked forward to conversations with Dave, he told it as it was, strong opinions, no mincing of words, and with a great sense of humour. He liked his football team to be on the front foot, attackers taking on defenders, not passing sideways and backwards. That led to a spell when his attention wandered to football away from Adams Park, but he was always a Chairboy through and through, ever since his first game in 1964. He was a a well travelled football groundhopper, in all four home nations, and also for cricket and speedway. For many years Dave was a member of Surrey CCC and Bucks CCC, and I will always have the memory of our trip to see Bucks play Suffolk at Copdock a few weeks ago. Lovely weather, beautiful ground, excellent company, Bucks lost but still made it to the final. Dave wanted to go to West Bromwich for the final but circumstances didn't allow. He was so pleased that Bucks won the championship.
Dave was someone I looked up to and admired, as a great historian of the club and as a person. I will sorely miss him.
