Defenders on top at Forest

Last updated : 14 December 2012 By Tony Scholes

Michael Duff took the honours in the man of the match, claiming 28.3% of the vote to take first place ahead of left back Danny Lafferty and midfielder Dean Marney who both had a 16.0% share.

Only one other player reached double figures and that was right back Kieran Trippier who took fourth place with 10.4% of the vote.

In the player ratings it was Lafferty who came first. His rating of 6.55 out of 10 was one of only three to reach the six out of ten average performance rating. Duff was second this time, just behind with a rating of 6.45.

Goalkeeper Lee Grant was third. His rating was 6.00 and Marney came in fourth with a rating of 5.73 out of 10.

This result gave both Duff and Lafferty eight points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year with four points for Marney, two for Grant and one for Trippier.

The result makes little difference at the top of the table although Duff, in sixth place, is now just one point behind Ben Mee. There is a big gap then to the next three places with Charlie Austin still way out in front with a 27 point lead.

The voting is still underway for the November Goal of the Month and will at the end of Friday with the Watford Man of the Match vote starting within an hour of the final whistle on Saturday. As always you can vote via the front page or the VOTING POLLS page.
