Bert Posted 25 May 2006 Share Posted 25 May 2006 Hume is top!! Joey Gudjonsson may have scooped Leicester City's player-of-the-season awards but, according to official Championship statistics, Iain Hume was their most effective player. Hume was rated as City's outstanding performer over the season in the Actim Index. And it ranked the Canada international as the 86th most effective player in the Championship. The forward joined City for £500,000 from Tranmere on transfer-deadline day and finished the season as City's joint-top scorer alongside Gudjonsson and Mark de Vries. He was the only City star in Actim's top 100 Championship players. Gudjonsson did not figure, despite landing the City player-of-the-year, players' player-of-the-year and supporters' player-of-the-year awards, as well as two goal-of-the-season gongs. Actim is the brand name for the official data of the Premiership and Football League. Its Championship index is put together by assessing players' actions during games such as passing, tackling and shooting. According to Actim, Reading striker Kevin Doyle, who scored home and away against City, was the most effective player. Reading dominate the index with six players in the top 10. The Royals' Bobby Convey was rated the best midfielder closely followed by teammate James Harper. Ibrahima Sonko was reckoned to be the best defender and Marcus Hahnemann the leading goalkeeper. Former City player Ade Akinbiyi, who started the season with Burnley before moving to Sheffield United in the January transfer-window, was rated the fourth most effective striker and 20th best player in the division. Crewe midfielder Kenny Lunt, who has been linked with City, was 67th in the Actim Index. Former City boss Micky Adams is on the verge of agreeing a new two-year contract extension to keep him at Coventry City until 2009. Adams guided the Sky Blues to eighth in the Championship and managing director Paul Fletcher revealed talks had entered the final stage. ''We have no intention of letting Micky's contract run its course until the end of next summer and are very close to agreeing a two-year extension,'' Fletcher told the Coventry Evening Telegraph. ''We have been in discussion with him and we have reached the final stages. The contract is with the lawyers and it is just a question of dotting the Is and crossing the Ts.''

Steven Posted 25 May 2006 Share Posted 25 May 2006 If Marcus Hahnemann is the leading goalkeeper dan ben ik een Nederlander. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't surprise me at all. I don't think you get points for misplaced passes and needless fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loake Posted 25 May 2006 Share Posted 25 May 2006 Did I read that proper, like? Lunt's going to Cov? I thought it said that at first but then realised it said Micky Adams was signing a new contract there.(cov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
