Neither can his old man! :lol:

I know, two votes lost for Wizz

This is a tough one, would love to say Deakin, he has been outstanding in defence and credit to him for getting the goals in the last few months...

But my player of the season vote will be going to sean mcbride. He seems to be absolutely solid, and i really noticed a difference in his absence, he runs a marathon the entire match, and without a doubt has been a key player this season!

Sam Brown or Hope for me, both here from the start of the season and once Sam was put in the correct position he's been excellent.

I think you have a case for around 7 or 8 different players, but I've gone for Chris Hope. Been inspirational leader at the back, a big influence on his teammates, chipped in with a few goals, MOM awards and played more games than any other player. Not bad for a 40 year old! Even though we're a part-time club I look at Hopey as being a professional in everything he does in and around the club and if this is his last season as a player, I hope he stays connected with the club in some shape or form.

^^^^^^^ someone has a Hopey crush^^^^^^^ But yes I agree Chris Hope has been superb this season, Sam Brown, McBride, Alfie, Jake, Wizz, Deaks will all be in with a shout IMO.

I have gone for Shanny, he has been consistent, kept himself fit and managed to stay injury free, while running himself for 90 minutes and taking a few knocks each game... for the team.
