    Which American in England has surprised you the most this season, whether for good or bad reasons?

    I picked Lewis, although it was a toss up between him and Marcus. I really thought after Eddie's bench warming at Fulham that his best days were behind him, but at least as far as I can read he's starting to really tear it up.

    I agree with BigLarr: where's BMB? When I saw the trhead, I assumed it was about McBride, but then I did not see his name on the list. McBride, for me, is the obvious choice. Of those on the list, it has to be Thorrington. I thought he'd be leading his team to D1, instead he's on the bench of a sinking ship.

    I agree with this. It's no surprise to me that Marcus is doing so well; I've been watching him for quite a while. And after Eddie's performances with the Fulham reserves last season, his doing well is no surprise either ;)

    Oh, how a managerial change can sink a career.

    Gotta go with JT as well.

    MH has suprised me the most. I like everyone else wrote him off because his lack of PT at Fulham and his sub-par career in MLS. But he's showed me a 180 degree turn around. Apparently he's worked his ass off to get where he is now and it's showing. Now i just hope Reading get into the playoffs and gain promotion.

    I voted for Thorrington. It was close between him and Marcus, but I gave the edge to JT. I get the sense that alot of Marcus' good play was due to Upson. Plus, I find it inherently UNsurprising when a Yank GK plays well, at any level. Finally, Marcus was pretty good on loan last year. Not like this, but solid.

    It's actuaslly Brian McBride, but I voted for Hahnemann, who knew he'd bust out so strongly after sitting on Fulham's bench for so long?
