My nomination for player of the year is Johnathan Smith - Surprised? I nominate Johnathan for the incredible patience he has shown despite being frozen out of the team for nearly of all of this and the majority of last season (apart from being thrown on for the last five minutes of some games to try and rescue a lost cause). The decision by John Coleman not to play Johnathan is one of the worst i can remember in nearly 30 years of watching football and one which in my opinion has ultimately cost Stanley a place in the playoffs also the nepotism shown by John Coleman towards certain individuals in his team selection i think ended up being counter productive. Over the last two seasons in the games he has played Johnathan has been terrific at both ends of the pitch and put his heart and soul into playing for Stanley but it seems his only reward was a place on the bench for the next game Alas it seems his face does'nt fit. Now i read on Monday that he is going to be released WHAT A SURPRISE. At least there will be no shortage of offers from other clubs and he will go somewhere he will be more appreciated. So if Hereford away proves to be his last league game it means he has signed off in style with a typically battling performance! GOOD LUCK JOHNATHAN

PS John Coleman's bleating about referees is starting to wear a bit thin.
