2014/15 Co-Ord Round-up Part Three - 13th-16th

I start my usual annual team review with the bottom four...

13th Cheese Makers (down six places on last season)
After a top half finish last season Matthew's team fell back into the bottom four. Two poor runs did the damage, the stretch from late November to February without a win particularly painful. The return to form of Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini ensured the season finished on a high and the 'counters' table showed that the Cheesers were a bit unlucky. They'll be in the top half mix again next season if the strikers click.
Star Player: Jose Fonte (13 cleans)
Disappointment: The strikers - Just ten goals between Long, Mirallas, Ideye and Nugent

14th The Dead Parrots (same as last season)
Ah! The season of two halves! After week 13 the Parrots were seventh and everything in the outback looked rosy. Then the other 17 league matches garnered only 11 points and Dean's team finished with one point from the last nine and scored in just two of their last twelve matches. Last season's star man Rickie Lambert didn't get much playing time and the gamble don Didier Drogba didn't pay off. Much work ahead for the manager next term.
Star Player: Joe Hart (14 cleans)
Disappointment: The second half of the season

15th Mega Buck Bandits (down three)
Dave broke his transfer record to bring in the ex-Swindon striker Charlie Austin and spent £6m on Fraser Forster and while those moves were a success not much else was. A five game unbeaten run saw the Bandits hand their boss the October MOTM award but a spectacular run of one in 20 games in all competitions propelled the team into familiar territory. Dave will hope he picks up another couple of good 'uns next season.
Star Player: Charlie Austin (16 goals)
Disappointment: The Bandits old timers (maybe Charlie Adam excepted)

16th YTFIB (same as last season)
Julian propped up the table for the eighth time but it was a miracle he came so close to dodging that bullet. Halfway through the season the team had accumulated a mere five points and looked on for all sorts of unwanted records. Wins in weeks 16 and 17 hinted at a renaissance before order was restored with seven straight losses and then, something happened. April MOTM! One defeat in the last seven! Can YTFIB carry this on to next season?
Star Player: Mame Diouf (10 goals)
Disappointment The first half of the season
