Jordan Cousins, no surprise I suppose being academy and all, personally thought JBG was more of a stand out player and won us more points but I can't fault Jordan's energy, enthusiasm and consistency
Key word that
Consistently great since Luzon came in Consistently crap when he was LM
not at all saying its his fault I mean he was out of position, just think JBG has been the better player all season round
Top three is dead right. Some will say it should be in another order but Jordan got my vote. Full of energy, hard work, a few goals and consistent even when played out of position. Hopefully the club will make a big deal out of the fact a homegrown player was young player of the year in his first season of first team football and developed enough to be player of the year the following year. Certainly a good advert for the academy and the opportunities available to young players at The Valley
Thing is though he gave his all when played on the left, never shirked anything, never hid, and although not spectacular he wasn't poor either. I voted for Jordan but could just as easily been JBG or Hendo but Jordan played every game, bar two, Hendo missed a large chunk of the season and JBG too blew hot and cold for a while. Well deserved in my opinion so well done Jordan. And as said elsewhere I voted Poyet last season but on reflection regretted it and should have voted Cousins.

Behave
This time I no I am not the only one because I heard it around me every game the first thing me and other people said when leaving the stadium was Cousins is not a LM
he might have had a couple of good moments, but never a good whole game at LM IMO
Yep, not a LM and we all knew it but when asked to play there what does he say 'no'? To say he was consistently crap is out of order. I can only assume you sit amongst a group of fans who can't recognise that fact and realise that he is doing a job for the team in a position to which he isn't ideally suited. Thankfully most people disagree hence him being Player of the Year. Just accept you are in a minority on this one.
before people start arguing with me lol I would like to make this very very clear
I love Jordan Cousins, and really hope we can keep him for a long time I just think BP screwed up playing him at LM and don't think he played particularly well whilst he was there
which is fully expected with paying a player out of position.
We all know he was played out of position, but he did a job there and was decent and didn't complain. Then he did a great job in his right position. There is a lot more to come from him, but I think a lot of fans also saw that the lad left everything out on the pitch every game. I'm expecting him to get better and better too.
Correct decision for me. Sometimes you need to look beyond individual skill and moments of brilliance and look at attitude, reliability and commitment. I agree he had some poor games at left mid but he never hid or shirked his responsibility, Probably produced one of the individual performances of the season against Forest. 94 games in two seasons is no small feat. Deserved winner and hopes he adds that extra 5pc that will make him a very decent footballer into an excellent one.

The top 3 was spot on and in the right order as well. I think next season those 3 will be right up there again if we can keep them. Now everyone relax and enjoy your summer

nope not in a minority, just look at these
just quickly found first 18 games of the season apart from Wednesday as I could not be find it on the first page
In a minority as otherwise he wouldn't have won POTY would he? Just as the amount of fans who are also on CL are in the minority. No point quoting match ratings from CL fans as it isn't representative of the whole fan base. That's why there is a POTY vote.
I was out this evening so missed the coverage.. is there any chance we can listen to it or highlights and interviews from the evening? I seem to remember we could last year??

As a midfielder cutting inside and taking shots with his right peg, he was quite decent.
I would have no qualms if he played there again every once in a while.
Incidentally, note Luzon played him
On the left until Brentford.
Well done, Jordan. Well deserved ; we missed him enormously yesterday
every game the first thing me and other people said when leaving the stadium was Cousins is not a LM

Move from the left to the centre to win more votes.

I just hope you are still with us in August having signed a contract extension.
Any news of payers, player of the year.

thats one appearance in the top 3, 2/3 bottom appearances and around 5 in bottom 3
as I said much improved since he moved to LM but lets not pretend we was not all thinking he was poor at LM
stats don't lie
