andoru Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 As you all know, at the end of the season the fans pick their 'Player of the Year'. Now that we're past the midway point, who are you leaning towards? I find it pretty hard to single any one player out this year. They've really been playing as a team. If I had to pick though, I think I'd go with Wanyama. He's been immense so far, and you can see that he's worked hard to iron out his weaknesses, particularly his passing, which was pretty erratic last year. Toby and Bertrand have been consistently good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just oozes class, best defender I've seen for Saints in my lifetime of watching Saints (started in the early 90s), even ahead of Killer for me.

david in sweden Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 I'd go along with a vote for Toby or Clyne, but I'll save my end of season vote for Jose Fonte. Taking over as captain, he seems to be in total control and looks the real thing both on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Steven Davis. He is so so underrated, but massively important to the team. His work rate is unbelievable; he's the guy that links play with the forwards but he never neglects defensive duties either. His first touch for the second goal against Arsenal was ridiculous.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 (edited) Interesting one. If you'd taken this poll before November, after the first 3 months, it'd have been hard to see beyond Pelle & Tadic but there's no mention now. I think it shows how the whole group have contributed brilliantly in their own way BUT if I had to pick just the one player now, then it's just Toby with Big Vic, Clyne & Davis not far behind. Jose has been a massive upgrade as captain too. There clearly won't be a runaway player of the season at the end of the season either, the way the whole group are performing.

It's a close call for me but I'll give it to Clyne. He just gets my vote ahead of Alderweireld because of the goals he's scored - and that one at Arsenal was something special.

Minsk Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 For me, it is between Clyne, Bertrand, Toby, Steve Davis and big Vic. At the moment I am leaning towards Toby purely because of his versatility. He has been outstanding no matter where he has been asked to play. Our most versatile layer since Nick Holmes.

Hodgey Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 I'm going for Pelle - we haven't missed SRL and without him we would have been lost (look at Shef Utd performance). Not just his goals but all round link play and work rate, also think he has been a bit unlucky with near misses / hitting post etc. if he doesn't play I just don't see us winning as he is integral to the way we play. Lots of contenders though - he nudges it ahead of the full backs, Toby and Jose, Davis and Wanyama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Saint Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 So many in contention. Good sign! 1. Alderweireld 2. Wanyama 3. Clyne 4.

Pierre Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Fonte looks to have what Franny had before him. His determination lifts the whole team. Best player? Toby, clyne, Bertrant, Morgan, Victor, Davis, Tadic have all been on top of their game. Pelle seems to be the player we miss the most when he's out though. If there's an award I suppose it has to go to Koeman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Forster – Has made some mistakes but his kicking is excellent. Good first half 7/10 Clyne – Has improved further this season and is now the best English right back (wing back) and deservedly now an England international 8/10 Fonte – Another who has improved with the added responsibility of team Captain. Another who has been rewarded with an International cap 8/10 Alderweireld – Undoubted class player with great poise, cool head and great reader of the game. 9/10 Yoshida – Prone to the odd mistake when on the ball but good defender and can bring the ball out and can pass well. 7/10 Gardos – Disappointed with him. Well able to defend high balls but lacks the confidence/ability to bring the ball out or find the right pass. Now number 4 choice but not a disaster if he is called into action. 5/10 Bertrand – Has developed into a very good left back (wing back). One of a myriad of successes this season. We have certainly not missed Shaw! 8/10 Schneiderlin – Undoubted talent and first on the team sheet. His form and work rate has not diminished and good to see him now recognised internationally by his Country. 7/10 Wanyama – Has stepped up to the mark and has immense strength and presence in front of the defence. 8/10 Cork – Injuries have kept him out for a while so I am rating him on his performances in the side. Tidy creative and now scoring goals. 7/10 Tadic – Great start to his Saints career but tailed off in recent games although he looked back to some form again Arsenal. That drop in form means 7/10 Davis – Busy midfielder always available for a pass and can create. Lacking goals which again means 7/10 James Ward Prowse – Similar to Davis at present and needs to be more creative. Good dead ball deliveries. Still young and an undoubted talent 7/10 Long – I like him as he produces something different. Like a wasp round the opposition defence and an integral part of the squad 6/10 Mane – Started well, fell away but now playing in his best position, quick and scoring goals. 7/10 Pelle – First couple of games he lacked everything but having acclimatised himself to premier football he has proved to be excellent and another rewarded with international honours. 8/10 I have not rated players who have yet to make a regular impact but I am impressed with Reed and can see him being our next star player. Targett has not disappointed but a little inexperienced at present. So for me player of the half season is Alderweireld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
