Snowflake Royal Wycombe Royal Snowflake Royal In a season we finished 7th with a striker who got ~19 goals.
There's some fairly heavy history re-writing going on here.
Yes we finished 7th but we stumbled our way to that and weren't great for a large part of the season. Plus I didn't say there wasn't any competition. But the thing with Joao was he was out injured a bit and scored a lot of goals in a purple patch.
His purple patch was about 25 30 games.
He scored 11 in the first 16 games, then was out injured for 6 matches, then scored, then scored 6 goals in 8, followed by 2 goals in the last 16 matches (one of those was missed through injury.
So it was two purple patches (broken up by injury and then a really bad run.
I'm not even sure why I bothered with that.....my original point was there wasn't much competition for Laurent that season, most players were bang average and Joao's run of 2 goals in 16 at the end of the season was never going to get him the award.
