I think Championship Player of the season will be between Grimes and Hackney

So it’s Grimes then.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

We never tend to do well in these awards, Gus didn't even get picked for the Playoff Final season.

 

[Otis]

I think when it's announced it will probably be

Keeper - Hackney

Defenders - Hackney, Hackney, Hackney and Hackney

Midfield - Hackney, Hackney and Hackney

And up front - Hackney and Hackney

 

[Flying Fokker]

I think when it's announced it will probably be

Keeper - Hackney

Defenders - Hackney, Hackney, Hackney and Hackney

Midfield - Hackney, Hackney and Hackney

And you front - Hackney and Hackney

No prizes for guessing subs?

 

[Bristol sky blue]

I think Grimes might be overlooked even though he shouldn't be

Reckon Rushworth definite, EMC is very likely too. MVE has a very good chance because of sheer number of assists from RB. Thomas should get in too.

I would laugh if Boro get more of their players included than us!

Rushworth is a dead cert, I agree Grimes should be but I think he gets overlooked. Bobby Thomas might get the nod.

I'm not sure on the others - for example if they only pick one striker then Viponick will be in ahead of Wright.

 

[Ricketts]

Surely, it’s going be a mixture of the Middlesborough and Ipswich teams?

 

[covcity4life]

Our own fans overlook grimes at times to be fair

Always talk of him having a quiet game or being too deep when in reality he has had yet another excellent game

 

[stupot07]

Just looked at least seasons team of the year and Josh Brownhill didn't even get in despite scoring 18 goals from midfield for Burnley.

Who picks the team of the season? Jobe Bellingham was an odd choice

Who picks the team of the season? Jobe Bellingham was an odd choice

The EFL Team of the Season is selected annually to honor the standout performers from the Championship, League One, and League Two. It is calculated by a judging panel based on overall performance, consistency, and impact on pitch success, selecting top players for each position, rather than a specific formation.
The English Football League +2
Key Aspects of Selection:

• Performance Metrics: Judges evaluate players based on goals, assists, clean sheets, and consistent high-level performance throughout the league campaign.
• Selection Panel: The team is curated by a panel of experts, often in collaboration with EFL partners like Vertu Motors, highlighting the best 11 players per division.
• Process: The process considers overall contributions to team success, meaning standout players from top-performing clubs are frequently featured.
• Timing: The teams are typically revealed at the end of the season, alongside the Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards.
  The English Football League +4

The selection is not limited to a rigid formation, focusing instead on assembling the best eleven players in their respective positions based on their performance over the whole season.

Don't they decide these things in Feb/March? We might get under-represeted due to our December/January form if it was done in Feb.

There’s a story I’ve head on a few podcasts about the 1997/98 PL End of Season Awards dinner. Dion was up for player of the year (joint top goal scorer), Huckerby (Young player of the year nominee) and Oggy was getting a lifetime achievement award.

Before the awards started, a montage video of all the season’s best moments played. There was zero footage of any Coventry goal/ save. Apparently Strachan said to the trio - “Right lads, let’s leave”

 

[Robinshio]

5 goals and 7 assists in 3314 minutes versus
7 goals and 5 assists in 1841 minutes

one is Jack Rudoni, and the other is the championships best player in hayden hackney
one of them played half of those minutes with an injury

To be fair, they play in midfield but their roles are completely different. Rudoni is a 10, Hackney is an 8, you would expect Rudoni to score and assist more. They are both class acts.

They are, but I still wouldn't have him in our midfield ahead of Grimes, Onyeka and Rudoni. He'd improve the bench with Torp, Eccles and Allen.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Since they’re the best team in the league, the Championship’s best 11 should surely be a clean sweep of Middlesborough players…

I’d like us to try to sign Hackney next season but it’s v unlikely. Established Prem teams will be watching keenly.

We have been in the premier League for over a month now. We are established too

I heard the one Hucks did one with Jim Brown... they only stayed because of Oggy's award.

Lampard will be a huge pull factor for recruitment in the summer imo. I still think Hackney is an unrealistic target though, he has been linked with Chelsea as far back as last season iirc.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Your probably right, if it's about money, it's establish Premier League teams but if it's about playing regularly and learning under Lampard, then it's us.

I think Palace is Hackney's best option if they are in for him. They are an established Prem Team with a track record of developing up young talent. Showed a lot of faith in Adam Wharton and have helped develop him, and Will Hughes turns 31 this month, so will get his opportunities.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

For me this is it:

GK - Rushworth (Coventry)
RB - Crama (Millwall)
CB - Thomas (Coventry)
CB - Harwood-Bellis (Southampton)
LB - Tymon (Swansea)
DM - Grimes (Coventry)
CM - Hackney (Middlesbrough)
AM - O’hare (Sheff Utd)
RW - Azeez (Millwall)
ST - McBurnie (Hull)
LW - Mason-Clark (Coventry)

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Reckon it'll be a starting 11 of just Ipswich, the cunts always gets decisions go their way.

Mve has to be in it

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Mve has to be in it

I disagree, Crama has been the better player

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I disagree, Crama has been the better player

How many assists?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

How many assists?

He’s been a much better defender, he’s not a wingback like MvE

edit: just checked 3 goals and 6 asissts

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

This definitely works if Wharton earns a move, less so if he stays. I can’t imagine a midfield pair of those two works as neither are particularly strong defensively. To code switch to England for a moment, Anderson being a much stronger defensive midfielder is why he should start with Rice.

If Boro bottle it and don’t go up, Hackney would be a fantastic signing but at 23 with a high ceiling, he’s gonna attract a better club than us. I don’t think he’s better than Rudoni as an AM tbh.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I disagree, Crama has been the better player

This season he’s had a great year but over the last 2, has been the better player? No.

Millwall are having a great season but that doesn’t mean their players will necessarily continue that elsewhere. Look at Tanganga, ironically left for a team with a better chance of promotion and hasn’t hit those same heights at a team struggling in midtable.

As tempting as it is to handpick some of the best EFL talent upon promotion, we need to diversify our recruitment imo. There’s definitely Prem quality in the Championship but there needs to be know-how if we’re to stay up next season.
