ROUTLEDGE's HATRICK

Octobers monthly awards results are now available and once again it's great news for Wayne Routledge who scoops his third straight player of the month prize.

 

GOAL OF THE MONTH

Taarabt v Preston (H) 51.61%
Simpson v Reading (H) 19.35%
Buzsaky v Reading (H) 12.90%
Taarabt v Derby (A) 6.45%
Taarabt v Leicester (H) 4.84%
Mahon v Derby (A) 3.23%
Agyemang v Reading (H) 1.61%
First though, as always, is the goal of the month award. There were thirteen goals to choose from in this one but only seven received any attention with one dominating. Adel Taarabt gets some consolation for missing out on the player vote by taking his first goal of the month award this season for his strike in the 4-0 home win over Preston North End. His goal received over half of all the votes cast with Jay Simpson's effort in the defeat of Reading coming in second place.


The
winning goal as described in our match report "The opening goal came in the eleventh minute and it was absolutely stunning. Cerny knocked a ball out toward the left flank and Taarabt took it on his chest in his own half with facing his own goal. He quickly turned and breezed past one challenge before skipping over the next and sticking it through the legs of the next Preston players to try and challenge him. Everything now opened up in front of him and he took aim from twenty five yards a bent a sumptuous curling strike past Lonergan into the top corner. The goal of the season contender that Buzsaky had scored against Barnsley had already been surpassed."

 
MATCH of the MONTH

Four games received votes with only the away defeat at Swansea being ignored in the match of the month category. However it was the victory at Pride Park that impressed you the most with 43% of you making that our October winner.

Derby 2-4 QPR 43.18%
QPR 4-0 Preston 38.64%
QPR 4-1 Reading 15.91%
QPR 1-2 Leicester 2.27%

The thumping home wins against Preston and Reading came in second and third respectively whilst some people out there enjoyed the Leicester home defeat enough to vote for it.
 
PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Routledge, Wayne 27.38%
Taarabt, Adel 23.81%
Buzsaky, Akos 16.67%
Simpson, Jay 14.29%
Faurlin, Alejandro  10.71%
Gorkss, Kaspars 5.95%
Agyemang, Patrick 1.19%

And finally onto Wayne Routledge's continued domination of the player of the month award. It's his third straight win, an achievement only matched on two other occasions that we've been running these votes and clearly he is still impressing plenty of Rangers fans. That said he didn't run away with it, Adel Taarabt might consider himself unlucky to finish second this month but he can take comfort in the fact that it was only by a handful of votes.


So that's it for October, all the monthly winners will go forward to our traditional end of season poll and we'll be asking you to pick the best from November once this months fixtures are complete.

Thanks for taking part.
