End Of Season Awards 2009/2010
A fascinating season of two halves has produced the clearest cut results ever in the Hob Nob Anyone? end of season voting for the 2009/2010 season. Before the season kicked off Reading fans were predicting a mid-table season and they were to be proved correct. However no one predicted a season where Reading looked set for relegation under Brendan Rodgers only to rediscover form under Brian McDermott and finish not far short of the play-offs.
Congratulations to Gylfi Sigurdsson who has been voted Hob Nob Anyone? player of the season for 2009/2010. Sigurdsson's excellent play making and great run of goals from midfield stood him out as Reading's best player during the season. Gylfi was a clear winner with 64% of the vote, with Ryan Bertrand winning runner up after a very impressive season. Sigurdsson was a clear fans favourite this year and also took a reasonable share of the vote in the Most Improved Player category to finish second to eventual winner Jimmy Kebe. Kebe thoroughly deserved the votes, and won by a long distance, after suffering under Rodgers in the early part of the season before discovering stunning form that made him Reading's most exciting player to watch.
Votes were well shared in the Worst Performance category, but in the Best Performance there could only be one winner. Reading's stunning FA Cup victory at Anfield was the highlight of the season after the Royals came from a goal behind in the FA Cup Third Round replay to win in extra time - thanks to a last minute penalty from Sigurdsson right at the end of normal time before Long headed home in extra time. That was a game that will live very long in the memory.
Looking to next season and Reading fans seem confident of a play-off place at the end of the season.
