Player of the Season (halfway)

[Slim Man]

Over halfway through, some players have played a massive part and I think we can have a poll (we do love a poll).

So, I expect this to split opinion, and that's testament to how well we've done. I personally think Sharp, Fleck and Duffy will be the standouts but we've been that good that quite easily Coutts, JO'C, EEL, Freeman, Moore and a few others could get a few votes and maybe even win it.

I've only picked players who've started more than 10 games, I don't think anyone who's featured in less than that can even be considered.

I genuinely couldn't call it so I'd be interested to know what the general consensus is.

 

[Nade]

Chris Hussey for me.

 

[Slim Man]

Chris Hussey for me.

I didn't want to put him in, it'd be unfair on the rest of them to see him running away with all the votes.
Same goes for George Long and James Wilson.

 

[Dnblade]

Coutts for me,makes everything tick...love watching him play...some other contenders though.

 

[Ndlovu Blade]

I voted Billy for obvious reasons but Moore or Duffy should be in with a shout

 

[Slim Man]

It's going to be the most varied vote in a long time. I couldn't call who's going to get the proper award if we stay on in the same vein until the end of the season. Billy probably cos of his goals but there are so many variables it's great.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Freeman for me:

Scored 6
Assisted in goal - too many to count
Involved in goal - again, too many to count

His final ball is exceptional - always has a look, the ball is delivered where it is intended.

Very clever footballer

UTB

 

[nopigfansintown]

Wow, that was tough, but I went for Fleck in the end.

 

[Deleted member 875]

Jack O'Connell for me. Very much the unsung hero.

Excellent in the air, strong in the tackle, is strong, athletic and pacy, and can play some great football.

One of the best signings we have made in years, and someone destined for the very top.

 

[Bayingblade]

Can I have 6 votes please?

 

[Slim Man]

Freeman for me:

Scored 6
Assisted in goal - too many to count
Involved in goal - again, too many to count

Before saturday I said he was the best right back/right wing back in the league. Now I think it's unfair.
He's the best full back/wing back in the league.

He will be very comfortable in the championship if we get there in the end.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Voted for Our Billy.

John Fleck came very close though, as did Stefan Scougall.

I have to own up to saying he was a poor defender in a 4, never saw him as a RM as some suggested, but really wanted to see him as a WB.

CW and AK need to get his defending better - the Southend 2nd goal to name a recent one. Solve this and we should have a very good footballer on our hands, and just the sort of player that we need to get promoted with and hopefully keep hold of him and make him even better.

UTB

Goals win games

His defending is already a mile better than it was before still plenty of room for improvement though

 

[Ricky]

McDuff shades it for me. Productive with goals and assists, and a constant influence even when not at his best. Take him out and we are a very different team. He plays a key position and is the only one who can do what he does.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Gotta be the goalie, Simon Moore. They say a good goalie is worth 12 points a season. We're going to need those points for auto's unless Bolton or Scunny go on a losing streak some time soon.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

If it wasn't for Billy big Boots' miss against Walsall we'd be on the verge of our longest unbeaten run in history

 

[Bladepicker]

Moore
Coutts
Duffy
Fleck
Sharp
Freeman
JOC

Just need a pin.

Just shows how much of a team we are.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Freeman for me..............because no one expected him to be here let alone scoring important goals.

 

[bladesadviser]

Moore
Coutts
Duffy
Fleck
Sharp
Freeman
JOC

Just need a pin.

Just shows how much of a team we are.

All of these and possibly big Ethan

 

[DronnieBlade]

I've gone for Leon. Bound to come good

UTB

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Went for Duffy, doesn't always come off for him but always looks to be positive and never goes missing.

Makes a change debating who's our best player as well, instead of who can't we wait to get rid of...

 

[SteveBlade]

Was torn between Coutts, Duffy, Fleck, Billy, EEL, Freeman, Moore, O'Connell, Wright.

Went for Freeman.

 

[GroovyBrad]

Duffy for me... Just

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Did anyone expect Wrighty to perform like he has so far ?, he gets my vote, even though there are other obvious and well deserved candidates.

 

[loyalblade95]

duffy, his creativity is one of the reasons we are doing so well

 

[Tyler Durden]

Hasn't put a foot wrong all season. I'd start him every single time.

Not played quite enough to get my vote, which is a shame because I still think he's arguably our best defender. Really like the guy, a real leader on the pitch, and am I right in saying he's still never lost in a Blades shirt?

great left foot
