Player of the season discussion

[dazzer6666]

Yeah do you know what - I think Stockdale should win the ****ing thing.

That string of penalty saves was obscenely filthy. He's utterly TALISMANIC. He's marshalled the meanest defence in the entire league. And he will also be the first person to say "This isn't for me - the whole team won this."

Loads of others could deserve it, but my heart lies with Stockers for this one.

Well put. Go on then, I'm in as well

It's always hard to judge, even as a ST holder as the majority of us only really see the home games. But for me, it's one of Knocky, Dunk or Murray, with honourable meantions to Stockdale, Duffy, Stephens and Baldock.

How Hemed, Skalak or March are being mentioned in a post about POTS is a bit beyond me though.

I actually don't think there should be an individual Player of the Season award this year. On the nameboard, where it says "Player of The Season, 2016-17" it should just say "All of them"

EDIT: And like Simster, I hadn't see a previous thread on this subject.

Like this a lot. So very difficult to choose.

But can we make a slight amendment to read:-

"All of Them (except Akpom)"

Thank you

Don't forget the Bruno leadership role and influence. Also, his early season stand in performances as a central defender.

 

[Pavilionaire]

No doubt about it - Glenn Murray gets my vote - his goals and presence have made that vital difference to last season.

Indeed, one of the reasons Baldock has improved so much is playing alongside Glenn week in, week out.

 

[seagulls4ever]

It's so hard to choose. There isn't really a standout player from all the standout players. With that in mind, who's the player we miss the most when he doesn't play? Baldock - see Saturday for example. He therefore gets my vote.

 

[Machiavelli]

Like many others, this guy gets my vote (for the second season in a row).

I've already selected Stockdale, but this serves as good an explanation as I could offer. That double save from Forestieri had stuck in my memory, but that double save against Wigan(?) is similarly awesome.

Stockdale would get my vote.......way above the rest, that video proves how important his saves have been and some of them are fantastic saves dare I say 'worldies'. Really hoping he can give us as much in the next seven games but even so he has done enough to justify POTS easily.

 

[Meade's Ball]

It's a ruddy hard one to decide, this. Some utterly stirling, and stirring, performances throughout the season, but in pieces. Perhaps the winner then is one of regularity, rather than the spectacular. And that surely has to come for one of our clean-sheet addicted backline. I suppose Stockers has performed the quite astonishing too though. I was thinking of Bruno, in part thanks to an eternal love - I am honestly still gutted that the Madrid pre-season trip had me meet JFC and Ashley Barnes, whilst seeing Orlandi and a beardless Bruno saunter off to the hotel, untouchably - , and Dunk for how much he has come through and matured as a ball-playing, freekick-straight-at-the-keeper-taking centre half of increasing value, but maybe Stockers for his penalty saves, and gentlemanliness.

 

[Nixonator]

Ince's stats are irrelevant to this vote. Yes, I was tempted to vote for Stockdale for his clean sheets and penalty saves, but Knocky just tipped the balance for me. I only have one vote, you use yours as you see fit.

I wasn't trying to change your mind. The point about Ince was more that it's an example of another wide player with great stats whose club are not competing at the top, it requires a lot more than that … which disproves fans from other clubs suggesting that we are a 'one man team'.

 

[Weststander]

For what it's worth, rival clubs forums go on about Duffy, Dunk and Knockaert.

For me, possibly Murray. So many vital goals, work rate, ball control and passion for the cause.

 

[Gary1]

Duffy for me. He epitomises everything this team has become. We needed a real fighter and he is it, gets his head on every ball and never pulls out of a challenge. Bit like a proper centre half of years gone by.

Agreed - great to see..............and incredibly, that's exactly what Uwe has done in the last couple of games as well. Incredible after so long out.

Without doubt Uwe has been outstanding. Remember saying to others a few weeks back that it's imperative we keep The 'Double D's' on the pitch and when Duffy was injured I thought we would struggle but Uwe has been fantastic since he came in.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Disappointed that Bruno didn't win it last year. He won't win it this year either.

Still at least he's in with a shout for next year.
What a player he is.

 

[ac gull]

Knockeart deserves it - goals AND assists

 

[KZNSeagull]

Definitely Stockdale. 20 odd clean sheets, massive saves at crucial times, kept us in games so many times when we have not been at our best. He has been the platform that has made the rest of the team shine.

 

[Triggaaar]

Like many others, this guy gets my vote

But you only get one vote.

 

[heathgate]

I think it has to be either Knocky or Murray...... simply because they both turned many matches our way.... all season long... without either of them I don't think we would even be in the top 4.

The two we really miss when they're not available are Baldock and Stephens imho. For that alone they're in the running. I'd add Dunk for consistency and Murray for weight of goals and his defending from the front.
Don't know how I'd vote between them - possibly Baldock or Dunk...suspect that Murray will win the popular vote though, 20-plus goals is no mean feat.
