Player of the year

[werthersoriginal]

It’s hard to think who it will be, isn’t it? Eastwood is good but maybe less so than last year. Ledson? Up and down. Anyone else?

NO.......


James Henry a possible shout from me.

 

[OxfordBoy]

It's Eastwood, he's not been as good as last year but he's been generally solid pretty much all season, bar the odd mistake that most keepers make, he also had that short stretch of really really good play

Ledson has been inconsistent all season and whilst I think that's mostly down to the players around him and the fact he's being made to do too much, that doesn't really win him points in the player of the year debate

Henry is finally playing like the player we thought he was when we signed him. and he's scored some really big goals for us, and if he continues right until the end of the season he might nick it, but at the moment his poor start means I can't have him above Easty

I don't think there's a single other player who could even be in the discussion, pretty much everyone else has either been shite, injured or shite AND injured

Wes was probably our best player over the first 20 or so games actually come to think of it, but that seems like a long, long time ago now

 

[werthersoriginal]

Wes was in my mind, an early candidate but has dropped away. Heck, at one point I thought it would be Ruffels. Maybe a hero will emerge in the last few games.

If we stay up by a bee's dick, you wonder if even Rob Dickie comes into the reckoning?

Ridiculous I know, he couldn't jump above Easty in the pecking order, but the fact that he'd be 3rd/4th if there was a vote only illustrates what a disappointment this season has been.

He's been pretty poor so far i'd say, unless he gets 8 man of the match awards in the next 8 games it's not worth mentioning him

I’m not sure if Eastwood deserves it. It’s probably due to the dodgy defence in front of him but he’s not quite been the player he was last season. Still a bloody good keeper but he’s only human, his confidence will have taken a bit of a battering with some of the shenanigans going on in front of him, I’m sure. I think James Henry will get my vote. He didn’t play that great yesterday but still scored the pen and also saved us a goal with the block on the line. He’s pretty much involved in all of the points we’re scrambling at the moment. ‘Player of the Season’ might be a bit of a poisoned chalice this year mind..

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Jack Payne?

 

[RATC]

This is an odd one considering the length of the season he has missed but Rothwell.

Always makes positive impacts on games and we always look better with him in the team.

My other choice would be Henry. Scored some crucial goals this season.

Eastwood would've been up there before January aswell but feel he's slipped a bit since then.

 

[Marked Ox]

Clearly has to be Ivo Pekalski as he's not had a bad game for us.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Give it to Ribeiro. A thoroughly good bloke who had his career cut short and no doubt would've made a positive difference had he been able to play all season.

 

[Paul P]

Actually that is a great shout. In a season where we are struggling to find one bright spot, give it to someone to whom it will really mean something.

 

[Berliner]

Give it to Ribeiro. A thoroughly good bloke who had his career cut short and no doubt would've made a positive difference had he been able to play all season.

All for that idea!

 

[Oldham]

Pep Clotet.
He played us good and proper!

 

[WuTang]

Hemmings has had a great season

 

[MJB]

Henry for me. Very underrated generally.

 

[werthersoriginal]

If Napa gets a couple of winners he will be in contention. I like the Ribeiro idea and the Hemings one too!

 

[Paul Cannell]

My vote's for GvK - hopefully we'll never see him or anything like him again.

 

[ttg17]

Give it Ledson just for that winner at Charlton!

 

[holdsteady]

The Swedish bloke with the Polish name who we signed before the season started but has never been seen, give it to him and at least he will at least have to walk on the pitch to get it, get a look at him before he leaves then at least. That’s if he actually exists of course.

 

[WuTang]

In all seriousness I think giving it to Ribeiro would be a fantastic gesture. After a torrid season on the pitch, with none of the players on form consistently, I would be all for it.

 

[McXal]

I find it hard to look past Eastwood. He’s not had as good a season this year - but in all honesty it’s been difficult for him when, up until Clotet left, he basically had a different defence in front of him every week.

He’s made a number of errors, but there are also plenty of games where he was effectively ‘won the game’ for us with some outstanding saves he has no right to make. I’m thinking in particular of the 1-0 home wins against Donny and Blackpool. And currently that’s the gap between us and the drop zone.

Henry is among our most talented players. But he’s been inconsistent all year, and that’s before the whole ‘shhh’ thing is taken into account.

And, whilst I hold no ill-will to Ribs, I do find it a little uncomfortable to disrespect the playing squad so by voting for him as POTY. I’m also not sure, as noble and gutsy as his intentions may have been, I’m ok voting for a guy who risked (and perhaps even cost us) points by taking to the field when he knew full well he shouldn’t have been there. His interviews were outstanding as far as footballers go, and I feel desperately sorry for him that his career has been taken away - but not my player of the year at all!

 

[Notaswindonfan]

As its player of the year I’ll go Henry
Player of the season would be Eastwood.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Dwight Tiendalli, just for the kid who paid money to have his name put on his shirt.

 

[PottersRightBoot]

Rothwell.

 

[Peterdev]

James Henry for me. He’s a player that we will have to build around. Eastwood has at times of late been a bit shaky.
Can rule out a couple, Obika, Thomas, can’t see a defender winning it either

Well yes although to be fair Thomas has presumably earned us a fair number of our earlier points.

 

[Foley]

Eastwood over the whole season

[WuTang]

Henry was absolutely abysmal for the first half the season. In 2018 he's been one of our better players, so player of this year so far perhaps, but certainly wouldn't vote him player of the season.
