MITCH Ward is the new leader of the Evening Press player of the year rankings.
The midfield maestro secured the man of the match accolade, and therefore three points, in last Saturday's disappointing 3-0 defeat at Lincoln.
It was enough to see Ward, pictured right tackling Northampton's Chris Hargreaves, leapfrog Darren Dunning into pole position.
Leigh Wood enters the fray for the first time after receiving two points at Sincil Bank for a dogged effort, while goalkeeper Mark Ovendale received the one remaining point for some safe handling.
Rankings: Ward 7, Dunning 6, Ovendale 4, Bullock 3, Nogan 3, Wise 3, Brass 2, Hope 2, Wood 2, Fox 1, Merris 1.
