[DB11]

Over the course of the season, with the exception of eight games around the end of the 2015 and start of 2016, FoxesTalk visitors have been able to cast votes after each Leicester City fixture. I will post a summary of these over the next few days and they will be in three parts.

• Part 1: Referee and Opposition Awards
• Part 2: Manager and Team Awards
• Part 3: Player Awards

• Anthony Taylor took charge of more City games than any other referee, but only averaged 5.72

• Jon Moss was the man in the middle for the West Ham fixture in which he dismissed Jamie Vardy and awarded two controversial penalties, one to either side, which was rated the worst refereeing performance of the season. If you remove this anomalous result, Martin Atkinson was consistently the worst referee

Adding the Leicester City team, based on team performance, would see us finishing in 2nd place with an average rating of 6.88

[Fox92]

Nice read, cheers DB.

 

Arsenal head and shoulders above any other opposition for me, although I still think Southampton were the second best team to come here.

[Swarles Barkley]

so we won the league but overall fans didnt think we were even 7/10 over the season. How are people voting on this. Doesnt make any sense

[Long Eaton Fox]

The opposition scores are based on the two games played against us so therefore as Arsenal beat us twice they will be top. Our scores are bases on the 38 games played over the season and therefore average out more evenly. That's what I believe anyway.

[Guest CityFan 06]

Have to agree with Arsenal (h) being the best opposition performance. They were just excellent on the day. As Fox92 said Southampton (h) were also good. 

[UPinCarolina]

Our rating was based on our performance on any given day versus our maximum potential (10) = It's fair to say that a team that rates higher than 7/10 on maximum potential can and should hoist the trophy, and that's very nearly what we saw reflected here.

 

It's worth noting, however, that changing expectations over the course of the season can affect voting patterns - I'm sure that we witnessed that. 

[VLC86]

How come Jon Moss got worst performance by a ref? Have I missed something?

[Donut]

Referees are good when we win and bad when we lose.

 

Revelation.

 

I mean look at Arsenal away ffs, that was simply the fact we lost that the ref got the low number.

 

Otherwise, interesting reading.

[Trav Le Bleu]

So according to that City fans think Arsenal were better than us.

[Zapp]

So according to that City fans think Arsenal were better than us.

In the 2 games they played against us yeah. Considering one they hammered 5 past us and the other they were against 10 men

Can't think who but someone pointed out Arsenal were up for the 2 games against us. We were up for for all 38. And that's why we finished 10 clear of them

[Raw Dykes]

Statgasm! And this is only part 1!

 

Great work, @@DB11. These averaged out ratings make for interesting reading. Much appreciated.

[Koke]

Newcastle rated as worst performance with 2.41

They were absolutely shocking though. I don't know which Newcastle performance is worse, Newcastle in November or Newcastle last May when John Carver accused his own player of deliberately getting sent off cos he had no bottle. That was abysmal as well.

or Newcastle in the cup last year when their fans booed from start to finish because their players clearly weren't trying. Think I gave all three performances a 1.
