Who was your personal favourite?

[Willglynning]

I thought this might be a bit of a fun way to look back on what has been the greatest season in my memory
It's not necessarily got anything to do with who you think has been our best player on the pitch, just who's been your favourite out last season's team?

Mine personally has been Jake Wright. I had no expectations from him when we signed him but he's just been an absolute leader in our defence, and I always felt confident when he was in the team (which still feels strange to say after the poor defence we've had in recent seasons). I also had the pleasure of having a conversation with him a couple of weeks back and he came across as such a nice bloke.


(Sorry if the poll's a bit of an overload or if I missed anyone major, it's my first time doing one so I'm not sure how it'll come across )

 

[Kenilworth]

No Hussey

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Wright for me as well, so much to like about the guy.

 

[Jon P]

Simon Moore - hardly put a foot wrong if at all, breathed confidence into the side that we greatly needed

 

[Kabba Kabba Doo]

John Fleck by a country mile, a joy to watch him pick a pass or dart past an opponent, or even fly into a tackle like the one at home to Bolton where he supposedly gave their lad whiplash!

I had forgot about that! Quality player - will never forget the ball he played for Sharp that day for the opening goal - their defender was a whisker away from toeing it away but it just made it through and the rest is history.
UTB

 

[Tyler Durden]

Our Billy of course.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Cannot separate Duffy or Lavery,so on the toss of a coin...Duffy gets my vote

 

[coolhandluke]

Wheres george long ? Be ause of his ommission ive voted " other "

 

[Ricky]

Fleck and Basham.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Basham. Not when he had the ball, the fun was in the process of him getting it.

 

[SwissBlade]

Billy just shades it over Wilder, but to be honest they were a double act of amazingness

I hope Wilder brings Ariana Grande in to replace Captain Blade

I'm of an age where I've been fortunate to have seen genuine leaders in various teams. Bobby Moore, is an obvious choice, what he lacked in pace he more than made up for in anticipation and his reading of any situation, a class player if ever there was. Fast forward, and it brings me to Jake (so good there's no need to mention his surname), probably as good a reader of the game as I've seen wearing a Blades' shirt. Superb leader and organiser, and absolutely integral to last season's success as any other player we have.

I'd add JOC (if ever a player showed huge improvement it was him), he became a complete rock and showed that learning how to defend is an art in itself. Finally, and this is as obvious as any I can think of, John Fleck. From an uncertain start Fleck developed into a player that you just knew had to be in the team. His displays were immense, his range of passes, tackles, his desire to move the ball about, and finally his awareness of angles and being able to make a pass count when it mattered, Fleck is as important as any other player currently wearing a Blades' shirt. Can't wait to see JF respond to the demands of the Championship next season.

This.

Watching a Blade banging goals in and going crazy after was bloody marvellous. Doing what we would have loved to be doing.

 

[elgoog44]

its Billy for me, encapsulates all that is being a blade, keep watching the goals on You Tube, and the moment at Northampton and lifting the cup all great moments for a super captain and all round super star.

 

[Grecian2000]

Where's "Desso Pitch"? Vital contribution, never got a mention.

 

[PokerBlade]

Tough call between Sharp and Fleck, as it's been for the last year. Sharp is almost the perfect football story, returning to your boyhood club to captain them while scoring thirty. Fleck is the type of footballer I always wished I could be. Always loved that kind of player who seems to have extra time on the ball, never looks under pressure or struggles to find a pass.

 

[FMBlade1]

Freeman for me, transfer listed and his career was going no-where then turned it around to become an established part of our defense over Brayford scoring 10 goals in the process, superb.

Of course they all deserve our adulation

 

[BushBlade]

It's like having to choose your favourite kid.

Damn it, I knew I was missing something!

 

[BigBed]

Jordan Rhodes for me, for keeping the pork in the championship and giving us a 6 point boost next season!!!!

£10m!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagasphahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

 

[cahill]

Bizarrely I went for Matt Done. He always tries hard as a footballer, appears unselfish and whips himself after making mistakes, it's not really his fault if he has limitations and is picked to play in the team. He appeared to be willing to play in whatever role Chris Wilder used him for and when substituted always appeared to accept ( as he should) the decision professionally. He presumably realised that he wasn't up to Championship level but always gave his all for the team.

He's probably a mardy wazzock and moaned like f***.

Anyway I voted for him

 

[Lane Ender]

I went for the manager made game changing decisions.
But all the squad played their part great season.

Absolutely bang on..
Just had that bit of class we've really missed,good eye for a pass and not frightened to stick a tackle in..think the championship won't faze him one bit

 

[LenTednTony]

You can't really separate them all but, I have been so happy for Freeman. Worked his gonads off to get back on track after being listed. The one real stand out moment for me though was Chris Wilder doing the dive after Flecks (?) goal. What amazing passion from a great managerial team!

 

[JonBlade69]

A very tough choice but in the end I (just) went for Duffy. What a pleasure it has been watching a talented footballer plying his trade at BDTBL. We have not seen that for some time now. But it could have been Fleck, Sharp, Courts or Freeman. What a season. Its great to be a Blade again and hold my head up high
Chris is God

 

[Weasel]

Has to be Chris Wilder a thousand times over - he is the catalyst behind everything that has gone well for us in the last 13 months since he joined. Without him we would be a struggling div 1 side still without any hope and little direction.

If however I'm voting for a player from last season....it simply has to be 30 goals Billy.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Billy

Just the fact I've always wanted him to succeed here, and he's only gone and smashed it out the park, at long last

There are others that go without saying, Wilder, Fleck etc

But Bash has been an absolute hero too
