    I've been thinking Solly but I reckon Yann might just edge it. Would be happy either way.
    Great to have 4/5 genuine contenders.

    Between Yann and Solly for me too like a lot of you. Heart is saying Solly as he's been amazing and is an academy product but I just have so much man love for Yann! This is too difficult!

    Anyone know if it's just season ticket holders that get to vote?

    Can't understand why kermo should be 9 goals for a striker????

    For me its solly his defending has been superb can only remember 1 or 2 occasions in which people have pasted him and it being his first season in the 1st team......BWP not far behind, 21 goals take them away and we would be in the playoffs.
    In regards to Yann, you obviously haven't seen him play week in week out because if you had, you wouldn't be saying that.

    Oh, and it's 10 now by the way... ; )

    S dog for me....Id hate to play against him......Kermo a clos-ish second for the impact he has had on the side......all in all the best squad we have had in donkeys years.

    Rhoys Wiggins, surprised looking through the thread it seems that I'm the only one who thinks Rhoys has been the best !
    I agree, thought Rhoys would be getting more votes. Anyway he's got mine.

    i thought rhoys would be fancied a bit more, may be not as good a defender as solly but a much bigger threat going forward

    i think it's cos of his recent moody hair cut that he's not getting a look in
  • In terms of performance alone I think Solly is outstanding.

    In terms of contribution to the overall season and our position in the table I think it is hard to look beyond Kermit.

    Nice to have this problem. Makes a change from the last few seasons. For me Solly, Yann, Morro, Hollands, BWP, Wiggy, Taylor. However wins should dedicate it to his team mates though as in my opinion they all deserve it.

    So difficult to choose this season but between Yann and Solly for me. As people have said, very difficult to eliminate Wiggins and Holland (or even Jacko if he had not been injured). What a great dilemma to have.

    I'd have Solly 1st & Yann 2nd.
    For those that think Yann may have edged it, remember he didn't play the 1st 7ish games of the season.
    So if it's too close to call, surely Solly wins on more games played ?

    Solly has had an amazing season and has been extremely consistent but Yann the man has been to hell and back again for this football club. The way he puts his body on the line, wins virtually every aerial challenge and his sublime technique make him an awesome proposition at this level. Just edges it for me!

    For me it's a clear cut straight tricast

    1: Solly
    2: Yann
    3: Wiggins

    This, taking nothing away from the gargantuan effort to the cause from superYANN who comes a very close 2nd.

    from the sheets I saw outside the turnstiles it looks as if it's the expected two way race between Solly and Yann.

    Before that match where Solly was injured and Wiggo went to right back I'd have thought Wiggins would've been in with a shout but since that match he's not been at his best.

    Might start a thread slagging him off ;)

    kermo for me.
    Solly and Wiggins joint second.
    These are 3 areas of the team that are really a cut above in this division, along with JJ.

    I'd say Kermo because he's really the only player that I'd see as not replaceable. The whole team would have to change, because you're not going to find another player at this level with his ability. That said, nobody will be upset to see Solly win the award.

    So by the look of some clipboards I saw, Solly is running away with it. I voted Wiggins, but will be delighted to see Solly get it.

    I use the Sam Bartram entrance - didn't see anyone collecting voting slips or with a clipboard. Where can I be sure to see someone next game?

    It's interesting that for the first time in a decade we have a striker who has scored more than twenty goals for us but at the time I gave my POTY vote yesterday (Solly), BWP hadn't had a single vote cast for him. From what I could see, Solly was out in front, followed by Yann. Is this an acknowledgement that the defence has been more important to our season than BWP's 21 goals? And why is Yann's contribution seen as greater?

    The lo fi exit poll (I looked at a couple of the clipboards on the way into the east stand) shows that Chris Solly was a clear winner, with Yann a remote second. You heard it here first ( after covered end, numbers, liberal club and many others).

    I assume the Ben Hamer one was either a sympathy or a protest vote.

    It was in a small child's handwriting. No really, it was.

  • Kermogant for me. Solly's been great and would get my 2nd choice but right-backs don't win titles for sides-strikers do.

    Without Yann I think we would be a few points off the two Sheffields desperately hoping one comes a cropper late on so we avoid the play-offs.

    that's a great question, the defence certainly seems to have been key this season given the number of clean sheets

    Timing comes into it I think. Pre Colchester and Notts County Morrison was high on many lists (including mine) but has had a bit of a blip. Jacko's injury lay-off has done him no favours along with BWP's lean patch.

    In short Solly and Yann are perceived to have been more consistent I think than the rest albeit marginally in some cases.

    Because it has been ? Goals aren't always everything.
