The Potters came from behind, and the first half loss of wingers Etherington and Lawrence, to force a replay in this FA Cup 5th round tie. Sorenson, Huth, Tuncay, Diao, Delap and Sidibe all collected votes but couldn't get in the top 3, which was as follows:
3) Danny Higginbotham - 8.5% - Defender was trong and solid thoughout game despite being shifted around the defence as the search for the best defensive line up continued
2) Glenn Whelan - 12.8% - Controlled the game from the centre of midfield and spread the play well. Such a turnaround from Wigan four days earlier he will be hoping to have more good days than he currently has
1) Ricardo Fuller - 44.7% - Scored the crucial equaliser and was a constant menace all game, getting in behind the Citeh defence and winning set pieces
Fuller's win takes him upto 2nd in the season table but he needs another three MOTM 1st places(or 2 1st and 6 2nd places) to overtake current leader Matthew Etherington. With the winger potentially out for a long period the race could be on to take the lead.
