Leicester City 1-1 Swindon Town
14 February 2009

Andy King won his first man of the match award of the season after his goal that rescued a point for City saw the fans vote him higher than anyone else who played long enough to be eligible for the award. Young keeper Carl Pentney was the only player who achieved a rating above 7. The debutant didn't play long enough to be considered for man of the match but his impressive performance should not be pushed to one side.

Jack Hobbs was unlucky not to win the award coming very closely behind King in second, with goalkeeper David Martin finishing third.

It was another disappointing day for Lloyd Dyer whose performances continue to disappoint and earned him another flop of the match. Matty Fryatt despite rating comfortably higher than Dyer was voted the second worst player on the pitch with Kerrea Gilbert rounding off the bottom three.

I'm very happy for King.

I was critical of him earlier in the season, but 9 league goals in 31 games is an excellent return for a midfielder.
