September 2012
Player of the Month - Wayne Bridge (39.68% of the
vote) |
 |
As if the mass improvement in the Albion
backline wasn't already evident enough, three of
the back five walk away with the honours in the
September player of the month vote. Winning the
poll was Wayne Bridge who was absolutely superb
at left back. He played a huge part in the
victories at Burnley and Millwall and clean
sheets against Watford and Sheffield Wednesday -
even netting his second goal of the campaign versus
the Owls. With John Terry now retired from
international duty, it is surely not that much of a
leap of imagination to imagine him back in the
England fold.
Played
5 (5 starts, 0
sub). Scored 1. |

Second: Tomasz Kuszczak (15.87% of the vote)
It was a dead heat for second, so we turned to
Twitter for a five minute vote which gave the
Pole in Goal the runners up spot. Two fantastic
saves from Chris Wood at Millwall helped secure
victory at The Den and his form has been such
that he could line up for Poland against England
in Warsaw. |
 |
Third:
Bruno (15.87% of the vote)
Despite
missing the last game of the month injured,
Bruno still did enough to take third place in
the vote. All that is missing from his game is a
goal but it is not for want of trying - it's
only a matter of time before his marauding runs
forward are rewarded. Remains a class act at the
back. |
|
The
contenders: |
 |
Liam Bridcutt
- Another superb month playing just in front of
the defence, he got through a ludicrous amount
of work in the away wins at both Millwall and
Watford and with the Albion under pressure, was
the main catalyst for counter attacking when
breaking up the play. |
 |
Wayne Bridge
- Another month and another goal for the
rampaging former England left back. Could easily
go back to the EPL with the way he is currently
performing and one of the main reasons why the
defence has been so solid. |
 |
Bruno
- His month may have ended prematurely through
injury but he was again, like Bridge, at his
rampaging best in September. Just needs a goal
but his value to the side was shown in the loss
against Birmingham. |
 |
Will Buckley - Craig Noone's departure
has opened the door for him now he is match fit
and he has secured his place ahead of Kazenga
LuaLua in the pecking order. Opened his account
for the season against Sheffield Wednesday and was
immense at Miiillllllll. |
 |
Adam El-Abd - A first goal in 20 months
was the icing on the cake for the Egyptian
international. Alongside Greer, he has looked
superb in central defence and further
international honours cannot be far away. |
 |
Gordon Greer
- Another good month for the captain
extraordinaire at the back that again makes
Barnsley's five figure summer bid even more
laughable. Even popped up with a rare goal away
at Burnley. |
 |
Dean Hammond
- A fair few Brighton fans were not happy with
the news about the former captains return, but
he has well and truly silenced them by slipping
seamlessly into the middle of the park. Unlucky
not to have a few goals to his name. |
 |
Tomasz Kusczcak
- Won points that last season would probably
have been squandered with a commanding
performance at Watford and a wonder save at the
death at Millwall. Already looking like he could
be the difference between promotion and a top
ten finish. |
 |
Craig Mackail-Smith -
Finally beginning to pay off that transfer fee
and justify all the expectation around him. Two
stunning goals including a bicycle kick at
Burnley were the highlight but he has had a
superb September cruelly cut short by injury. |
