Matty Palmer player of season

[Mark_Ross]

Thoroughly deserved in my opinion
Quality player doing more than he should in midfield

Congratulations MP.

I haven't seen that many games, but for me Palmer has always been outstanding. Assured & in control, even when we are (alas) being overrun in midfield. A really useful capture. We must keep him.

1. Palmer
2. Rodrigues
3. Cameron
4. Wootton
5. Chicksen

Totally agree. Well done, Matt.

It was great to read what Palmer had to say about winning his award. So glad that he is looking forward to next season already.
I don't know if anyone else noticed his work rate late on In the game on Monday, (fitness levels through the roof) and his reaction to their goals. He was visibly hurting mentally, but that just spurred him on to work harder.
If you think Wootton or Rodrigues are/would be hard to replace, then treble it for Palmer.
Imagine a tall, gutsy ball winner with the engine of a fully match fit Vincent, along side him.

1. Ruben (where would we have finished without his goals and assists?)

Yes, absolute no-brainer and a clear distance ahead of other candidates IMO

Mid-table?

He's been a machine. Close whether I had him second or third, but he has to be top 3 for me! Palmer is right to win for his consistency and high level perfomances throughout the seasonm

I think Rainbow pie got the top 5 spot on actually.

Matty Palmer has been head and shoulders our best player since the day he arrived. Rodrigues has also had an excellent season….but the work of Palmer brought the best out of him, not the other way around.

Imagine if we had a couple of physical midfielders to play alongside Palmer next season…as well as somehow keeping Rodrigues, signing a new and more mobile target man, a new beast of a centre half, a couple of new wing backs…and a new manager….nothing will stop us then!

Ruben's goals and assists have been crucial, but for me he's had too many fairly anonymous games to rate any higher.

The ability is undoubtedly there, but the consistency has been lacking.

Statistically speaking he's been noticeably more productive and consistent away from home than at Meadow Lane, that may have coloured your opinion somewhat.

Totally agree with this and TSANHO
Without Palmer i don't think Ruben gets as many goals or assists. But like elite says Ruben does have the ability to turn any game it's just his consistency for me
He also sometimes overplays when a simple pass is more beneficial for the team which can be frustrating. But i suppose this has to be accepted as part of his game because when it comes off it does create chances and look great
