    Whoever scores the playoff final winner.
    was your mouth out, you mean the winner against Rochdale that puts us second! (It'll be Nabby by the way, 25 yard free kick)

    Took a peak at the clip board and it looked like Taylor followed by Sarr which seems reasonable.
  • Sarr, Phillips or Taylor - can't choose.

    I was looking for fanny (story of my life) to give my vote to but saw @killerjerrylee first so gave my vote for Lyle Taylor. 
    Even though I considered Sarr, Cullen, Bauer and Phillips, Lyle have been the Player and personality of the season since his first game at Sunderland to his larger than life Performance yesterday when he was nearly timed out when he took so long to get to the ball before taking the penalty.  His sheer enjoyment in those last few minutes is a joy to see in a professional player. 
    After having a good chat to him at Charlton Ladies(the game he sponsored) and a quick chat at Bromley addicks he is a good guy and having hit 20 goals would be a deserved winner of POTY.

    Despite Taylor's 20 goals the golden boot must go to Bielik for his taking one for the team at the covered end against Accrington Stanley.

    Anyone else think it's too early to really decide yet? There's still 6 crucial games left as well as the playoffs. I'd say Cullen right now but that could easily change if he has a bad last 6 games and Taylor keeps scoring and fires us in to the top 2. Don't know why these votes are done before the most important part of the season takes place.
    OK. Let's look at the logistics of taking votes at The Valley.

    The only remaining home games before the last of the season ( the day before the dinner takes place) are tomorrow and on Easter Monday. Therefore they are the only opportunities left to us to "service" (oooer, missus) those fans who don't have the means to vote online, or indeed would rather do so in person.

    I'm not totally sure when  online voting will be closed but apart from the reasonably easy task of counting the votes, the trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places have to be engraved ready to present on Sunday 5th May.  So I would expect the closing date for ALL voting to be a week or so before the final weekend of the season.

    I shall ask @killerjerrylee to confirm this though.

    Hope that helps....but remember this is a poll for fans' player of the YEAR ie taking into consideration the players' contributions throughout the current season. 
    Why not get a trophy engraved for each player in each of 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then you can keep the count open to the last few minutes?

    If only someone would fund three trophies, two of which would be redundant immediately, every season.

    Pessimist. Whoever scores the winner against Rochdale to leapfrog Barnsley to put us in second place
  • Closing date for online voting is Wednesday 24th April.

    My idea wouldn't need two redundant trophies, it would be three per player (although we could probably not make any for Ajose) less the three that actually get used.  You can now hopefully see I wasn't being serious.

    I gave my vote to the chap standing near @Airman Brown . Saw @Fanny Fanackapan shortly afterwards and she was surrounded by fans. The other chap was on his own!

    1. Taylor
    2. Grant
    3. Sarr or Phillips depending on the last few games

    Would've easily gone to Grant if he stayed for me

    Just voted for Taylor

    Not just the goals and contribution on the pitch, he's such a big player off the pitch and has become a talisman for the club in a really short length of time

    Four contenders as I see it: Cullen, Phillips, Sarr, Taylor.  I could make solid arguments for all of them but it's goals that win matches so I think Taylor will get it.  Personally, given he wasn't first choice at the start of the season but is now immovable, I've got to go for Phillips.
    I agree it could be all 4 but I have to vote for Taylor.

    The reason being if Sarr doesn't play we have Pearce and are fine.

    If Phillips doesn't play we have Maxwell and should be fine, as we were with Steer.

    When Cullen missed a large part of the season, we weren't quite as good, but overall did fine.

    When Taylor was out it's been difficult and if Taylor got injured on Saturday and was out until July, who thinks we'd have a chance of promotion ?

    Taylor edges it on performance and is undoubtedly our most important player, bearing in mind the make up of our squad.

    If you don't agree think about RHF back in for Taylor when his loan at Bromley ends.
    It's got to be Taylor.

    It can only be Taylor......20 league goals fgs plus a hat trick in the FA Cup. Only BWP, Super Clive & Andy Hunt have scored more in a season over the past 30 years.. (and the season hasnt finished)

    Agree and in addition what adds to this is how he conducts himself on and off the pitch and his connection with the fans and community.

    I've seen enough games this season, though mostly on TV, to consider myself in a position to vote. It had to be Lyle for all the reasons above. Naby was close at the start of the year when Lyle was eiyther suspended or lacking a partner upfront but he's shone again in the past few weeks.
  • Several candidates but Lyle stands out. Sarr, Phillips, Cullen and Aribo have had good seasons.

    20 goals and 14 assists in the league alone for Lyle this season!

    If he had gone to Sunderland they would have walked this division

    In all competitions, 23 goals and 15 assists.

    No better striker in this league, how he didn’t get in the team of the year is ridiculous.

    But you’re right, had he gone to Sunderland not only would they have been promoted already, but we wouldn’t be anywhere near the position we are.

    Most influential player for us, and possibly in the league. POTY. No contest.

    I tweeted yesterday that there are lots of likeable / talented / improved / committed players this season, but Lyle absolutely walks POTY imo. 

    Genuinely can’t remember a player other than Chris Powell having such a connect with fans off the pitch and real impact on the pitch to accompany it.

    Been a tremendous signing

    Looked at the pic in the Scunny programme of Lyle connecting with the ball for the goal against Luton, and I thought.....
    How many Charlton players that I remember could/would connect with that cross and score ?

    Not many !!!!!

    Funnily the BBC have him at 20 goals but only 9 assists! Still well ahead of his rivals on that front though.

    Some of the numbers for the smaller clubs are impressive
    Henderson 19 goals for Rochdale, Eaves 19 for Gillingham, Evans 17 for Fleetwood, Ladapo 17 for Plymouth

    How important was the chat between Lee Bowyer JJ and Lyle Taylor back in August about his work rate ?  We know it took place because Lyle mentioned it. 
    Sunderland away seems a long time ago but then he just appeared to be a striker waiting to be fed the ball. Judging by the comments made at the time by Lyle he listened but you could tell he was slightly taken aback after his good season at Wimbledon.

    8 months later Lyle Taylor Baby has been fantastic with his goals, assists, his wing play, where he spends as much time as in the middle and the work rate which increased the moment the chat took place and unlike Bradley Wright Phillips who only had good games when he scored, Lyle is the team player and the pass for Iron Willie's goal yesterday typified his all round game.

    As Lyle is 29 now, his improvement is amazing and just shows the right manager, team mates, crowd and being close to his roots as he was Greenwich born, has allowed him to blossom and mature 10 years after being Neil Harris's boot boy.

    Lyle Taylor POTY  2018/19 is the only result which would make sense despite some great performances by Sarr, Bielik, Cullen, Phillips,Bauer, Aribo etc.
