We won't get 6, it will be 2-3 max. There has only been 4 from one team twice - Readings record breaking 106 season and the Newcastle team packed full of stars under Benitez. There has never been 5 or more from 1 team.
We’ve also not had player performing at an ‘elite’ level all season round. Torp, Onyeka, Rudoni, BTA and Simms have all had patches where they’ve lead the league in ‘x, y and z’ categories but not year round.

Torp went 17 appearances between his 7th and 8th goals with only 3 assists to show for it in between. If he’d hit 10-15 goals he’d almost certainly be in the conversation.

You can't look past Lampard or Neil imo. Both us and Millwall have massively surpassed expectations and we've dominated the league this season bar a mid season blip.
This isn't me saying Lampard shouldn't get it. I'm looking for the reason they don't give it to Lampard.

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.

If Millwall do finish 2nd there’s a strong case Neil gets it. It would be a greater shock them finishing 2nd than us winning it all.

That’s all I can think of.

Get the argument, and it would be an immense achievement.
But it wouldn't trump Lampard for me.

To win the league so emphatically with relatively low transfer spend and wage bill is an amazing feat, not just this season, but any season.

I agree with this, it would be a slap in the face, if we hit 96 points, that’s on par with Maresca’s Leicester on a fraction of the spend.

Comparatively, the race for 2nd is looking like it’ll be close to a record low. I also don’t think Millwall will finish 2nd.

Just as I typed this, Norwich go 2-1 up! Promotion v Wednesday is ON!

And small squad in comparison.

Form over 18 month's as well!
That's proved to be fundamental to our success,got us ahead the parachute team's.

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.
Would take Will Hughes then in the circular economy

4-4-2:

Rushworth
Brittain
Harwood-Bellis
Thomas
Manning
Azeez
Hackney
Louza
Scienza
Wright/Vipotnik (the top scorer)
McBurnie

Honourable mentions:
Grimes
Crama
Targett
Torp
Keiffer Moore
Fatawa
Hamer
Whittaker
Thomas
Ayling
Peretz - arguably better than Rushworth
Louza? Seriously? He's tossed it off half of the season.
