His performances have gained us a number of points this season. So have CCC’s. Tough one to call…

Give it to the lad between the sticks! At least he will still be here next season. Lundstrum took most of the awards last year and took off… waste!!

Be very difficult to look either in the eye and say you're not out best player. More so with Ethan as he's too tall.
Good tie breaker as mentioned is whose going to be with us longer.

Just give it the lot of them. Make it a collective POTY. There are so many who we would struggle to play without.

Baines, Ross, CCC, Osborne etc

Not long ago the players had a beer or soft drink with family members in the bar post match after the game....win or lose.
As the club moves forward  professionally that no longer happens, the awards night is no longer free for fans to attend post match and is now a paid for night out.

It is not expensive to be fair and probably great value in terms of night out.....but just a little bit alien to me. Paying to applaud the clubs players...its the fans who have followed the club home and away (not me) who should be there.

Fantastic progress over the last years, I suppose,comes with some minor drawbackss...a

I would give it to Ethan.
When he was sidelined through injury he was present on the sidelines and when the team was warming up he was actively encouraging the crowd to get behind the team. Now back between the posts he continues to encourage that support and acknowledges the support given too the team. That to me is a player committed (hopefully) to the club.

It is good to see in recent games, the players acknowledging the support before the game as well as after. I just hope, whatever happens in April we are able to keep our key core players to take us onwards in the 24/25 season

I’ve said it before. Ethan is the best player PP has signed since he started at Alty. Without him we wouldn’t be anywhere near the playoffs, Matty Gould was a good stand in but Ethan’s size makes him a far better all round keeper.

Ethan will get my vote, and also my “Home” sponsorship as he had this season.

Excellent keeper.

On behalf of tall people, I should say that I would find it difficult to look CCC in the eye as he is so short.

Seriously, though, there must be seven or eight serious candidates, and I would find it hard to pick between them, which is a tribute to the  team over the season.

Mick,

You'll be pleased to learn that there's been a change of heart!

As it should have been in the first place:
