Luton – No One Likes Watford
We are at the time of the year, with the 2020/2021 season completed, where the PFA hand out their array of awards.
The one I find interesting relates to those chosen for the divisional team of the year the players vote for.
Now, to be brutally honest, I did not expect any of our own squad to be nominated, as the chosen XI is normally formed from those sides that earned promotion.
And viewing the chosen XI, as published by The BBC, that has proven to be the case for the 2020/2021 season with the majority of the XI coming from Norwich City and Brentford.
However, it is great to see individuals selected from the likes of Reading and Blackburn Rovers, deserved recognition for the work put in this season.
The XI selected can be viewed below:
• Krul (Norwich City)
• Henry (Brentford)
• Pinnock (Brentford)
• Hanley (Norwich City)
• Aarons (Norwich City)
• Olise (Reading)
• Skipp (Norwich City)
• Buendia (Norwich City)
• Pukki (Norwich City)
• Toney (Brentford)
• Armstrong (Blackburn Rovers)
Of the XI selected, it is great to see Max Aarons make the list as Max learned his trade with the Hatters from 2009-2014 before moving to Carrow Road.
But one thing immediately struck me about the XI selected, it does not contain a single representative from the team that finished second in the Championship table – Watford!
It is not just us, but it appears no one likes Watford or is it just my biased opinion?
