I think Sydie is one of those that we won’t know what we’ve lost until he’s gone. He’s one of those who gets through a lot of work, is good on the ball and gives us control in most games (when he has someone suitable next to him) but where he doesn’t get particularly involved in goals and assists he doesn’t stand out. Only time I’ve seen him be bossed was against boro where I think Hackney got better of him. We generally have the better of teams in the middle of the park where we get let down in front, behind and at the side (defensively). I think he’s a cracking player and considering his age I think he could hold his own in the premier league. He always shows for the ball and makes time for himself with his first touch and is a decent passer and all round battler. He’ll only get better too and would love to see him here for another season

Young player, I can’t be bothered to took at the shortlist but you’d have to do that and see who is/isn’t on it to say he doesn’t deserve it.

Personally think he’s been brilliant at times this season especially during that little resurgent run you had when the play offs were looking possible.

At the start and recently much less so I do agree.

I'm glad for him, but surprised the league have shortlisted him and not Brooks (who I expect to win YPOTY in the club's awards). Peck arguably had a better season in 24-25 than this time out, other than finally breaking his goal drought. Brooks has been the breakthrough star of the team.

It wouldn’t shock me if that’s an oversight by the selections board not realising brooks qualifies tbh he was 22 in August.

Edit: Yes looking at the other nominees now as turns out I can be bothered and they are all 21 or younger. Might be coincidence but they not included anyone who turned 22 during the season.

Sydie has had a tough gig, really. I like him, he's the one prospect who's trajectory and development I really want to handle carefully, because there's clearly a player in there.

But here's why I feel for him. Last season, he was chucked in at the deep end after the loss of Arblaster. We had woeful depth in central mid and whilst he had the impressive Souza alongside him for the most part, he was asked to do a LOT of minutes, far more than you would ideally cover in your introduction to mens professional football.

This season, Jairo aside, he has had an awful range of CM partners - in terms of consistency of selection and consistency of form. All have been a drop off from Souza and he has been extremely exposed. Again, far more than he should be, so early into his professional career.

In any other circumstances we would've been able to manage his minutes better, and give him time to grow into his role. I still think he needs to establish what type of midfielder he wants to be - but it's like he's had to put that to one side as a nicety, to work on later - and to just get on with slogging the hard yards and extensive minutes so far.

I haven’t seen enough of Phillips to comment, Bobby Clarke from what I’ve seen is talented but not outstanding but I wouldn’t say I’ve really seen enough to place him.

I do not see Peck winning that, solely because of the inclusion of Jordan James, Leicester would be dead and buried already without Jordan James, in a completely disjointed team he’s top goalscorer with 10 goals from midfield (more than Bamford or O’Hare) in 29 appearances, looks a cut above anyone else playing in that team, he will win Leicesters full player of the season never mind young player award at a canter and part of me hopes he moves onto better things in the summer.

Maybe get your wallets out, he’s class. In an actual correctly functioning Championship club he’ll soon be one of the best players in the league if he keeps playing and maturing like he is.
