Player Of The Year


Recommended Posts

Too hard to narrow down.

Most players have had very good seasons in their roles.

Some have maybe faded a little from very bright starts but are still contributing.

Tso'anelo Lets'osa 

Some are under appreciated for their overall contribution.

Aidan Fitzpatrick 

Some have just had fantastic games when the metrics dont indicate it.

Robbie Crawford vs Ross County

Some are just very consistent and again dont get the credit they deserve.

Paddy Reading 

Even the three main players who are injured could all have been candidates.

Watt, Chalmers and Smyth

Lee and Dan have been solid at the back too and are arguably the best pairing in the league.

Ben McPherson has been a revelation for me and up the with Jack McMillan with the potential to go higher if he stays fit.

Josh Clarke has been very good. He has gone into consideration for senior Interational football.

Alex Samuel and Ben Stanway would be my pick, at a push for senior and young player of the season but there are many viable candidates, which is a great place to be in.

That's a pretty good summary, jagfox. Fortunately, there's a lot of competition because the players have been good, rather than one or two who've been less bad than the others!

For me, Stanway, with McPherson a close second. But with a few important games left, Fitzy, Paddy or Alex could make a late and decisive flourish!

Difficult to look past Ben Stanway for young player, though Ben McPherson might come into the running there too.

Having got that relatively easy choice out of the way, I agree that the senior award could go in several different directions.  In the end I went for the following, with a main element in my reasoning being that all 3 have fantastically positive attitudes:

1) Ben Stanway

2) Alex Samuel

3) Ben McPherson

However, having submitted my vote, I could not really have complained if Lee Ashcroft, Dan O'Reilly and a few others chose to have a word with me. If I had been voting earlier in the season Logan Chalmers would have figured highly as well, so here's hoping that he can still make an inspired contribution.

You only have until Sunday to vote.

What a great problem to have.  Thought Stanway deserved a shout as POY, but since he’s eligible for YPOY I figured it freed up a POY spot for someone else.

i just want to buy several rounds for this entire team.  Where do I cast my vote to do that? 😆

Well done to Ben S.👍

Even those who didn't vote for him as first choice will acknowledge his effort and enthusiasm. He also comes across as being a pleasant modest lad who's first and foremost very much a team player. Also great to see a Youth Academy player get the Senior award. 

I guess the only way Ben will be playing for us next season is if we get promoted. Even if we were, still a bit of a long shot at that. Whatever I wish Ben all the best with his future career.

There was a nice cameo at the Ayr game when Ben and Banzo were tussling for the ball right in front of the Thistle fans at the Railway End. Both went at it full tilt with Banzo coming out on top on this occasion and winning a free kick. However, there was a mutual gesture of respect between the two of them as they parted company to get on with the game, which was good to see. Sporting rivalry and camaraderie is not quite dead!

I watched Bannigan closely on the live stream; lots of very accurate passing by him, though most of them were no more than 3 or 4 yards, and several good one-touchers. Didn't see him do anything wrong, and some might say he was the engine room of the Ayr team. Having said that, he didn't actually do anything creative at all; it was all basic, unadventurous stuff that wasn't going to (and didn't) lead to anything special. I'd rather have our current set of midfielders.

You can vote for your choice of Player of the Year on the club website (deadline is 5pm on Wednesday).

Is this the first year where it’s been conducted like a Twitter poll and you can see real-time results?  Kind of takes the surprise out of it.

Just an observation. Was it really desirable to show the complete list of results right down to the "bottom" players? Could the list not have been restricted to the results for the top 2 or 3 players?

I take your point, but it was quite nice to see that Cammy Logan had received a vote, albeit mysteriously his "red rectangle" was less thick than for those who have thus far received no votes.

If this is just a "mutual gesture of respect", I'd love to see your definition of full blown hug.😀
