Player of the season..?

Barnes for me!

Popeye for me closely followed by Tarka and Bashley..

Close between Pope and Tarko imo, both were thrown in at the deep end, but neither ever looked like drowning. I'd probably give it to Nick Pope, Tarko had a bit of prepping last seaon, but Pope had no preparation at all, awesome the way he's stepped straight in and coped with the pressure.

I have seen all of the truly great goalkeepers we have had at the Turf since the Blacklaw days, but I cannot remember a keeper who takes hold of high crosses better than Pope.

Once his kicking off the deck improves, this lad will be one heck of a goalkeeper.

I’d be totally shocked if Pope isn’t voted our “player of the year’. He came into the team with just about zero experience at the top level, under intense pressure to replace an England goalie and performed over and above anyone’s expectations. However, my ‘player of the year’ is Barnes. The man is the poster boy for what the latest version of Burnley Football Club is all about. He’s not the most skilled player by a long shot, but he shows up for work EVERY day, gives it his all EVERY time out, there’s nothing more one can ask of a player……..and……...he must be a pain to play against.

Anyone who can get a ball down a chimney has to be player of the year

completely agree - Colner....easily a vote for Pope from me - never let us down - stepped in and was one of our unfailing few - he saved the season.

As it was Pope then it will have been white smoke coming from the chimney. The choice for player of the season was a difficult one as Ash, Tarky and Nick all have been in with a good shout. I voted for Nick because of having to step into Tom’s shoes.

Nick for me (just)

But an incredible season.

Tarks and Cork getting full English caps, Barnes has really stepped up over the last few months, JBG has been on fire recently as well.

I always feel sorry for Mee, who I also considered. He has been an absolute warrior since moving to centre half, but has been in Keane and Tarks shadows in the media.In my opinion he is at least as valuable to the team as these two.

Let's face it, they have ALL been heroes.

Barnes for me!

As I myself voted.

To underscore the vote his seven earned free kicks against Brighton was the only light in an awful match.
