April 2012 will not go down as a vintage month in the history of Inverness Caley Thistle - only one point from four matches, with two defeats from winning positions and an utterly demoralising reverse to Aberdeen thanks to two own goals.

But a few players will be able to take some positives away from those games.

Winger Jonny Hayes, the website's player of the year during our 2009/10 promotion campaign, won his first player of the month award since October 2010. Hayes was voted man of the match during the defeat to Hibs, where he scored a somewhat fluky goal, and came second in the polling for the draw at St. Johnstone. He also managed third place in the loss to Kilmarnock despite being sent off! Considering all the rumours surrounding his future, this fan hopes that this will not be the Irishman's last player of the month award from CaleyThistleOnline.

Hayes' 45 votes over the four matches were ten ahead of Roman Golobart and twenty-two clear of Aaron Doran, his nearest challengers. Golobart was the other winner this month, even though the Spaniard didn't play in the Kilmarnock match; he was the star performer in Perth and has extended his lead at the top of the overall standings to 13 points over Graeme Shinnie. Barring an incredible turnaround, Golobart will be the first on-loan player to win CaleyThistleOnline's Player of the year award.

Though it tells you something about our season when our likely player of the year started only half the games, and scored a shedload of own goals...!
