Jesse Lingard is voted WeAreBrighton.com Player of the Month for April 2014
Now fully settled in after completing the second month of his loan spell from Manchester United, it was Jesse Lingard who took home our WeAreBrighton.com Player of the Month Award for April 2014.
The winger showed why he is so highly thought of by the hierarchy at Old Trafford, opening his Albion account in the stunning 4-1 victory away at Leicester City and once that first goal monkey was off his back hasn’t looked back, also finding the back of the net against Charlton Athletic and Yeovil Town to make it three goals in five appearances.
It’s not just his goals that have helped either; the fact he is a winger who can actually defend and will cover every blade of grass going some of the way towards helping Oscar Garcia decide that now was the time to release the handbrake and send the Albion on the attack.
Just like Lingard, the runner up was another recent arrival who has taken time to bed in since signing in January but April was the month when he really began to look at home. Dale Stephens netted twice in the draws away at Blackburn Rovers and at home to Blackpool and was he instrumental in the hammering dished out to his former side Charlton.
Stephen Ward continues to be the most consistent player in the back four and he produced another fine set of performances to go with those that won him our March Player of the Month award. He even chipped in with another goal, scoring the opener in the win away at champions Leicester.
