Collymore Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~1550645,00.html Oakley Scoops Award! Posted on: Mon 09 Feb 2009 Leicester City midfielder Matt Oakley was this evening (Monday) named the Powerade League One Player of the Month for January. The Foxes stand-in captain beat off Other players nominated are Aaron Wilbraham (MK Dons), Gary Hooper (S****horpe) and Mark Yeates (Colchester United) to collect the prize. The result makes it a double for Leicester - with Matty Fryatt picking up the same award last month. The Foxes secured four league wins and a draw during the period - with Oakley featuring in each game. He said: "I am very pleased to win the award. I have been taking a bit of stick from Lloyd Dyer and Andy King about them scoring more goals. So I am glad to have got the first award on the board! "The team has been doing well and I am enjoying my football at the moment." The City squad will now spend the week preparing for Saturday's League One clash against Swindon Town at the Walkers Stadium. Tickets remain on general sale for the clash - CLICK HERE for further details. Well done Matt
davieG Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Let's hope he bucks a trend now that he had a poor game 'before' he got the award. Well done Matt you did have good January.
Rocky Dennis Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Well done Matt. Quality player, most consistent in our squad.. Happy Clappies rule!!!!
Cobbo Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Cracking stuff Thought it would have been Wilbraham but happy matt's got it.
Father Ted Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Congrats to him, he deserved it It's a bit cheeky of Dyer to be giving him stick when he himself hadn't scored for over 2 months until Northampton and has been playing terribly!
JoeyB Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Well done to him. Glad he's got it, now lets hope he don't rest on his laurels.
maddog Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 excellent He was shit early on in the season, a non inspirational captain, hes turned it around well. Now hes started playing well and setting a better example to the team. Shit on Saturday though but that weren't January
Ultra Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 I think his status as an ex-Premier League player [heavy emphasis on the ex-] may possibly have been an influence on those who voted. He helped to keep the unbeaten run going, and had a decent game against Huddersfield, as even I acknowledged at the time. But it's ironic that his award comes at a time when his form, at least in home matches, is starting to look a bit wobbly again. Let's hope it enables him to regain some form in the Swindon game.
maddog Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Well done matty for a second there i forgot Oakleys first name was matt and thought you thought Fryatt got player of the month
Messi Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 Well Done Matty Would like to see Howard get it before the end of the Season, hes been immense
Flynny Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 He said: "I am very pleased to win the award. I have been taking a bit of stick from Lloyd Dyer and Andy King about them scoring more goals. So I am glad to have got the first award on the board! Team spirit and a productive friendly rivalry - how often do/did we hear stuff like this in the last few seasons?
Lillehamring Posted 10 February 2009 Posted 10 February 2009 a bit of a contrast to his 'most underachieving player in england' award
