Z175 Chris Armstrong for me.
Anyone who can play 8 games with MS should be player of the season. I hope people will join me in voting for him. Otherwise its another landslide - Shane Long!

andrew1957 For those who think Shane Long suddenly became a good player half way through the season they really cannot have attended a match before December.
From day one of the season Long has been incredible. He was receiving MOTM plaudits from most fans week after week long before he started scoring goals. I can only think of a perhaps one or two quiet games all season. He was painfully short of confidence in front of goal early on but Brain obviously gave him belief and the rest as they say is history. To me being a great striker is not just about goals but also work rate and running the opposition ragged and Long ahas done that brilliantly all season.
So there realy is only one contender for player of the season and that is reflected in the voting on here.
However, I feel sorry for Karacan who in another season would have got my vote - he has been outstanding.
Leigertwood could well deserve the title of "player of the half saeason" and Harte, Griffin, Kebe and McAnuff all deserve a mention.
Armstrong deserves the title of "bravest player of the season" but there really is only one contender for player of the season this year.............Shane Long.
NR_Royal Speaking of Marcus, seems like he had a decent game today: http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tn ... 2117781554
Williams played well today but my blood pressure took a battering every time they got the ball down the right.
PEARCEY Shane Long. He's been incredible this season. Again today he did a lot of hard running and so often beat the defender to the ball. He holds the ball up so well these days and looks to run past the defender and often does so. He's scored 23 and has assists to his name as well.
Totally deserved for a player who has given 100% commitment and put his body on the line.

+1 and my vote (taking the aforementioned into consideration) too.Cobi It's nailed on for Shane Long but my vote goes to Ian Harte. He came here labelled a washed up has been but he's been superb for us. A couple of iffy performances and he was rightly dropped, but he came back a better player and he's been a rock for us at left-back, and his goals so important in the absence of last years star goalscorer Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Vote: Ian Harte
