Nicky Ajose returns to parent club Peterborough having secured our December player of the month award. The forward has been awarded with 21 points after scoring the equaliser in the JPT tie with Stevenage; scoring another and providing an assist in the away defeat at Brentford. Ajose also picked up the full complement of ten points from the five matches in December.
Alex Pritchard is the monthly runner up with 15 points after featuring in all five games and scoring a wonderful solo goal in the draw at Bradford City. With the transfer window now open we’re all hoping that Spurs allow Pritchard to fulfill his season-long long at the County Ground.
Fellow loanee Ryan Mason secures third place with 12 points in this low-scoring month. Mason featured in four of the five games, scoring once at Brentford.
Without any cleansheets during December Wes Foderingham, the defenders and defensive midfielders have scored few points, hopefully that’ll change soon…
