Helik closely followed by Rudoni I think Helik is a bit of an unsung hero - just gets on with it. |

Rudoni will definitely win the award for worst shots to goals ratio. 😉
Jesting aside, he’s put his heart and soul into the season, he’ll be up there I’m sure.
It’s a tough one when the side has been poor for two thirds of the season, even though Ward has had nothing to go at, he’s put the effort in every game. As a striker it must be bloody soul destroying knowing you’re just there to take the brunt of the challenges without getting too much reward.
Another one folk won’t like, is Ruffels, he’s shown that he could do OK at this level, but much like the rest of the squad, consistency has been a big problem for us.
I’m sure whoever gets it will deserve it.

Has to be Sorba Thomas doesn't it? He's our best player by a country mile according to some...

I’m sure whoever gets it will deserve it. I alluded to Ruffles in another thread yesterday, hes been as good as anybody since warnock came in, and its all becasue Warnock will have taken him to one side, had a reyt good chat and made him feel good about himself, same with Koroma. |

Scott high will probably end up winning young player of year some how Ought to be Headley, maybe? Jackson had a couple of good games, Diarra has his moments - I dunno, interested what others think. Rudoni young player of the year, noone remotely close. |

I completely agree - as I said a few posts back, I was having a senior moment. I forgot he was so young, and automatically opted for an academy graduate - even though that's not what "young player of the year" means. I'm an eejit, and I'm happy to correct the record! |

Bit of a joke award this year really because nobody has been anywhere near consistently good over the course of the season.

Helik for me. Pearson a close 2nd, if he’d been fit all season he’d have walked it. If we’d seen more of Koroma earlier then he would have been in the conversation.

Bit of a joke award this year really because nobody has been anywhere near consistently good over the course of the season. 18-19 we still awarded it, and gave it to a defender despite conceding 76 goals in 38 games! Our real standout player was slagging the manager off by the time the awards came round |

Rudoni for me. For a young lad who previously played for Wimbledon in league 1 who got relegated he has developed tremdously over the year. Always gives 100% and has now started to add a few goals. Helik a close 2nd.

Rudoni for me. Young player coming into a club in turmoil (from the Boardroom to the dugout) and also having to step up a level
He always grafts and even when things weren't coming off for him he never hid from the ball - that shows bravery for me
He's also moved position numerous times and wherever he's asked to play just rolls his sleeves up and cracks on. Great pro

Helik by a country mile - his distribution needs improvement but he's been consistent unlike the others.
Pleased with Rudoni's progress too - he's going to be a top player in a year or two.

I'm a bit confused by how high Helik is seen to be honest. He's a decent defender but was at the heart of a defence all over the place for most of the season. I really think his reputation when he arrived is giving him more credit than his performances deserve. And yes, I know I'm very much in the minority with this.
Pearson coming back has been massive. A leader and an organiser at the back and has played out of position at right back a lot. Despite only playing half a season, he'd be my player of the year.

Between Helik making his debut (Wigan) and Pearson making his return (Hull), we conceded 21 in 18 league games. Since Pearson returned we've conceded 30 in 19. This is overly simplified as Pearson hasn't played every game since then (nor has Helik), and not denying Pearson's impact. However the defence was all over the place under Schofield before Helik was signed. For the most part from when Helik was signed the defence was OK (other than some Mbete inspired moments), it was everything else that was the problem, prior to Warnock. I think Helik would be a deserved winner. |

I think Helik would be a deserved winner. It also ignores the opponents. Clearly there is no way to say one way or the other but I don't think we can play the way we were v Millwall, Watford, Boro etc, backs to the wall and defending, without Pearson playing. Not successfully anyway. I do not think anyone else at the back could organise us in the same way. I find it very telling it is usually him talking to Warnock at stoppages, goals etc. |

Helik has been head and shoulders our best player this season. Lees got better as year progressed and Pearson has had a really strong last quarter. Rudoni gets a mention for his work-rate and desire but there were long spells where he neither created nor threatened to create much. He is developing into a much better player though. Helik has been very, very good. He has lead by example and even in some of our dismal showings he was trying to urge us forward. Only made one massive error which was against Coventry. Dependable and our best player by some distance. And to think, he was only signed out of desperation on deadline day after our woeful start to season.

Heliks overall performance level has been the best in the team by some margin imo, apart from his obvious mistake against Blackburn whether we’ve won, lost or drawn he’s been consistently decent. |

Rudoni has done ok in recent weeks but for most of the season he was an honest toiler who created next to nothing, no goal threat, no killer passes etc.
I think he'll kick on next season but he's nowhere near Player of the Year this time.

And up to the last month everybody else bar him and Helik have been dogshit. That why we're where we are. |

I'm surprised the number of people saying Rudoni here; I don't think anyone can deny for 75% of the season he looked totally out of his depth and didn't offer anyhting in the form of assist/goals which a player of his position should be adding. If we're applauding effort then Kasumu should be up there with the same affinity.
For me in terms of doing their task and performance I think the shortlist has to be:
Lees
Pearson
Maybe Helik
Koroma
Lees I think doesn't get talked about as much but he is a warrior at the back and I cant recall any individual errors from him that cost us
Helik has got better under warnock and as above releives pressure with his marauding runs
Pearson is solid, a proper defender but also scored some very important goals.
Koroma - almost single handedly shaped our attack and been an icnredlible outlet that no side has been able to handle; albeit for 15 games only.
I'd personally go Koroma or Pearson

Michal Helik for me, has got better and better as the season has gone on. Special mentions for Lees and Rudoni too.
If I was asked which player has actually made the biggest impact that would be Josh Koroma. I genuinely believe that without his scintillating form of late we'd be going down, he's made that much of a difference to an attack that was previously powder-puff.
Super proud of all the lads for how they've rescued a car crash of a season and turned it into a memorable one.

It feels like there's a lot of recency bias on the socials etc and tbf I don't blame anyone for wanting to expunge anything pre Warnock  . But it *should* be Helik and it shouldn't even really be close. I think back to before Warnock came in and the number of games where we were consistently under the pump due to a misfiring frontline and complete lack of creativity in midfield and Helik and to a lesser extent Lees continued to bail us out game after game after game. In terms of defensive metrics, Helik is in the top 10 defenders in the league for total tackles, interceptions, top for clearances, 2nd for shots blocked, he has been a colossus on a number of occasions and not only has he been our best player but he's been one of the best centre backs in the entire division. Tom Lees scores pretty well also on a few things but no one else in our entire squad comes close to others at the top. |
