Cork and Jensen take Forest honours

Last updated : 18 April 2011 By Tony Scholes
Brian Jensen
Both had returned to the side that week; Jensen in the previous game at Leicester as he was preferred to Lee Grant and Cork returned for the Forest game after missing two games with illness.

It was Jensen who came in first in the man of the match vote, polling 39.6% of that vote. Cork was behind in second place with a 22.8% share and Marvin Bartley, harshly sent off just past the half hour, certainly had some sympathy vote taking third place with 10.9% of the vote.

The top two swapped places for the player ratings on the message board. Cork was the winner with a rating of 7.85 out of 10 with Jensen this time the runner up with a rating of 7.23. Left back Danny Fox, himself coming back into the side after serving a two match ban, took third place, and his rating was 6.54 out of 10.

Both Cork and Jensen win five points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year with Bartley and Fox getting one each. Those points have extended Cork's lead at the top to a massive 27 points over Chris Eagles and 52 points ahead of Jay Rodriguez who is in third place. Only Eagles can catch him and that's looking less and less likely with only six more games to go.

The man of the match vote for the Swansea game is still in progress and will continue until the end of tomorrow. It will then be immediately followed by the vote for the man of the match from tomorrow's game against Middlesbrough.
