Both Academy graduates, 25 year old Goalkeeper Burge and Defender Willis have been included in the team of the year following votes from managers of other League Two sides. Burge has made 34 league appearances for the Sky Blues this season, while 23 year old Willis has played 31 times in League Two.
There's going to be some Coventry fans who are pissed off Burge is in there.
To be honest, I'm more surprised Willis is there than Burge.
Well I, for one, think this will finally end the debate on here about Burge’s qualities and credentials. He MUST be the best goalkeeper in the division. End of!
People will be angry because he's been given plaudits.
Fact of the matter is, he's a very decent keeper at this level. The fact is that the two most disliked players are Haynes and Burge despite our defence being so solid this season (before yesterday).
I have no idea why that fat chap from wycombe is in there
Top of assists I think and a fair few goals.

Reid has 6 assists!
Maybe that will cost Max his placeseems weird having season awards before the end of the season

Willis is one of our players that can definitely step up a level & I've never bought into this idea that he is disposable & easily replaceable. On a more general point leading from that, I've also never quite worked out why, but there is a definitely a Cov thing where a large amount of our support seem to revel in putting the local lad down. I guess those people will argue it is to counterbalance the Cov Kid can do no wrong view, but some seem to really enjoy taking digs at Cov born players. Willis is regularly put down on here, as was Ponticelli earlier in the season before he had even made a start. Maddison had it before them too as did McSheffrey and Marcus Hall. Before my time but I read that Bobby Gould also got dogs abuse when he played for us back in the day despite a pretty impressive scoring record.
The apprentice award is not just about playing, it is also based on off the pitch work, academic performance and community work.Bit strange how Ponticelli has been nominated to apprentice of the season considering he's hardly even featured this season. I'd of though Bayliss was more of a candidate than Ponti. Still though, good to see any Coventry players getting recognition at all, whether I agree with the players chosen or not. Hopefully a few teams might be interested in putting in bids for Burge or Willis?
