Bennett has been a different class. El-Abd has improved beyond all expectations and Murray has been on fire and the rest have been quality but my god Bennett is a class apart and deserves to play football at a higher level just hope its with us

Bennett is our best player, but has lacked goals this year. Know he's more than made up for it in every other sense but it's the reason this becomes a contest. El Abd has improved massively and is vital. Kish is immense but can't play enough to be a true contender, Murray is immense when want's to be and does so much other than just score but you feel he has off days and might be mental not down to luck etc. Meanwhile Calderon was having a massive year but plays a position where he has less obvious impact than others but does contribute beyond a normal full back both defensively and offensively. LuaLua even could have claimed it if hadn't had a major injury.
If Calde hadn't been sent off last week he may have edged it for me but I'd currently have to give the closest award I can remember to Bennett.
El-Abd or Bennett as things stand, but recent form has brought Murray into contention. Honourable mentions for Calde and the somewhat underrated Ankergren.
