Ok ladies and gents, who are your top 3 players of the season to date (I’ve included the players with the most league starts).
I'd have Rushworth, EMC, MvE too. In that order. A lot to choose from though, which isn't surprising when top of the league.Weirdly forgot about Rushworth because it's quite unusual to have a keeper as POTS. I think EMC or Van Ewijk for outfield POTS.
What if Grimes left during pre-season? What if it's a player that is going out of contract and won't be here next season?No loan player should ever win POTS awards. Give it him if he’s coming back but otherwise put the feather in the cap of someone who will be here next season and have the boost that goes with the recognition. I’d give it Grimes. So many great performances around the team but he’s the one who I think had made the most impact on our results across the whole season. Hard to imagine how we managed without him.

Own up, who is the person who has not voted Rushworth in their top 3 and can I see your workings please?

But when Simms scored 19 a couple of seasons ago he didn't apparently...I don’t see the point of a top 3 - Haji Wright I’m sure will end up on over 20 goals so he’s clearly made the biggest outfield impact

come on you cock tease who are theyVery tough. I voted once and changed it almost immediately. There's so many players that have done well.
The fact is, we have so many players who have contributed this season, to what could really be one of our best seasons ever (I know it is not over yet). The talent and quality in our squad is very good, and we have reached some towering highs at times.
What we hope to achieve will go down in history should it come off, but for me I think I will look back on it and look at the times we had to dig in, and that's why my players voted are not necessarily the ones with the most skill or ability, or goals. I am really voting for them for their dedication to give 100% even when it isn't going for us. There have been occasions where you have seen some of our players prepared to die on the pitch to score a goal or get a win, and for me that counts for more than anything else.
I can’t consider Wright in top 3. Obviously his goals make a huge difference and has tons of ability and potential but the inconsistency and “can’t be bothered” phases just drive me nuts. He also has one trait that as a former player I see and hate. He dribbles into positions where he’s blocked or boxed in and hits a shot that has absolutely nowhere to go but straight into a defender’s leg. He did really well to score a “hit and hope” from a similar position and scored recently (Sheff Utd?) but in this case there was an actual gap. I’ll continue to be patient but I really want to see the best version of him more often.i only voted once for wright
