Top 5 a long way ahead of the rest and they choose players from every other club and 2 from the team below us. really poor, not like they were short of options from Charlton. Bowyer (as manager, doesn't say in picture but Barnsley manager won it), Taylor, Bielek, Cullen, Aribo all could easily be there.
Given the many changes we’ve had in midfield, defence and now in goal, I’m not sure who could have been a contender except Lyle Taylor and, until January, Karlan Grant. However a team can be more than the sum of its parts, which is Bowyer’s achievement.
Seem to remember him deserving it too as he was a good Right-Back himself for that team (maybe had a bit more pace than Solly); got a move to Crystal Palace yet never really worked out for him and doesnt seem to have reached his potential
Can't believe the lack of Eaves/Taylor, even O'Nien at Sunderland, Jon McLaughlin as the keeper (possibly), and in fact the general CAFC/Sunderland under-representation.
Marquis isn't really deserving of his place in particular.
Can understand us not having players in there - our season has been all about using the squad so far due to injuries and suspensions. When someone has got a run going they have more often than not then spent a period of times on the sidelines - See Cullen, Bielik, Aribo, Bauer, Pearce, Sarr has not been an ever-present. Steer looked great and then was returned and Philips has done great as a replacement.
Grant left. Taylor has spent a fair bit out with suspension.
Bowyer has done wonderful things with the squad this year given those injuries and suspensions and I we manage promotion he's got to a front runner for manage of the year - I think he is regardless of our finishing position.

Watched nearly all our games on iFollow this season and I haven’t seen a better centre back than Bauer or a better midfielder than Bielik. Time out with injuries have maybe counted against them in getting in that team, but we usually get relatively overlooked for this kind of stuff too. Perhaps Bowyer can use it for motivating the players for the run in.

O'Nein is @ Sunderland
Ah of course. Fluffed my lines - was gonna suggest Curtis at Portsmouth then took him out after he shushed us the little prick.

Doubt he’ll be shushing anyone anytime soon with his finger
Those saying Marquis doesnt deserve it and Taylor should be in there.
Stats say Marquis is better with 18 goals compared to Taylors 14, now we all see Taylor week in week out and no he offers more than just goals, but they will go by stats and for attackers more often its most goals scored.
Although Eaves has 19 so not sure how he misses out haha maybe they didnt want to include someone so close to relegation lol

Remarkable that they're all attacking players; amazes me in that sense how Chris Solly won POTY when we won the League
I think Lowton (Sheff Utd) was the chosen right back
Unusual to have nobody from outside the top teams. Normally there's somebody from a smaller team who shines, like an Oztumer
Was Jack Hunt @ Huddersfield

Grant had 14 in 28 so i'm confident he'd have got in ahead of him had he stayed.

Congratulations to former Lion John Marquis on his fully deserved place in the League One EFL team of the year.
Ben Thompson would have been the first name on the team sheet had we not recalled him from his loan spell.
