player of the season

So who would get your vote ? I would probably go for Kris Taylor because of a, his performances, b for sticking with us despite not getting paid and c the way he has conducted himself throughout, both on and off the pitch.
Young player of the year would be a hard call due to the fact we have had that many young players. I like the look of Harrison and he might have got it if he hadnt got injured. Hopson and Bowman have done really well and Lambert and Ramshaw have done well when called upon but I think Mcready would get my vote.

Taylor for player, McReady for young player. Taylor has stood out both on and off the pitch. McReady, because of his age didnt really need to be at the forefront with the off field issues, but his on field performances are both a credit to him and to Liddle with the youth set up.

From what I've seen over the course of the season I'd have to say Taylor POTY and McReady YPOTY as well. Huge turnaround for Taylor after the start he had, but I think he deserves it.

Agree with Taylor and since he has moved back into midfield he has been great, he is also very supportive of our community efforts off the pitch, which is going to be important if we are to succeed as a community club. I would love it if he stayed with us next year, I would push the boat out and make him one of our top earners to keep him.

I would give the young player to Ryan Bowman he has been excellent and again another one I would love to have playing for us next year.

Call it peer pressure, but I'd agree on both counts. Taylor and McReady have been excellent.

I agree with you about Bowman. He has improved all season and is another who we should definately keep.

I'd go with Taylor,like others have said exemplary on and off the field since administration. Thought he was great today and showed why Cooper wanted him in midfield, it's just a pity Cooper never utilised him properly.

Bowman deffo for you player. McReady has shown some fantastic flashes but Ryan has come on so much as a player over the last 4 months that if he continues that rate of improvement he'll be some player. I think that forced spell as a lone front man has done him the world of good. He's now a handful for defenders in the air as well as on the floor. Hope we can hold onto him

POTY: Kris Taylor, didn't think I would be saying that after the first month or so of the season.
YPOTY: Bowman for me, with McReady a close second. Bowman's attitude and commitment on the pitch during the recent times has been first class, especially for someone of his age.

Player - Taylor
Young Player - McReady

I'd give Bowman most improved player.

Fully agree with this.

For me McReady is one of the most underrated Darlo players. He's been consistent in terms of effort and performance. He's had quieter moments this season but nearly all players do and that isn't counting what the club have been going through and the fact that he's still young.

I saw most of Taylor's performances earlier in the season when he was definitely not on player of the season form. I can't believe he's the same left back I saw wimping out of tackles at the start of the season. Having said that he's done what has been required on and off the pitch so not a bad choice for POTS

Bowman showed great potential against Lincoln and he seems to be rediscovering that form now (thanks to Broughton I reckon). It was a lot to ask of him to step up to play as a lone striker and the only one at the club. That's not his game but he got on with it so fair play. Missed some golden chances too but on form with some experience a real prospect at this level. Hope we keep hold of him.

So to be different and because I'm a McReady fan:
POTS: McReady
YPOTS: Bowman

Are Uncovered/DUFF/anybodyelse planning some sort of end of season event. Not a lot to celebrate - except that we are still here - but some sort of presentation evening (player of season/young player/man of the century?). A lot of the existing playing staff - and perhaps management - will be leaving us - despite a lot of criticism heading their way the great majority have done thier best, stuck with us - maybe the last chance we will get to do anything?

And make a few quid for DUFF etc

POTY - McReady
YPOTY - Bowman

Definite straight fight between McReady and Bowman for YPOTY, but I don't think it's that nailed on for K Taylor for POTY. He's been a credit off the pitch, as have numerous others, and you have to give it to somebody that's been with us for the full season, but I think there's been more consistent performers over the course of the year, maybe Arnison and MBW (although he still hasn't been at his best).

For me, though, POTY: Rundle
YPOTY: McReady, with a very honourable mention for Bowman.

Quakerz · Post by **Quakerz** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:10 pm

One thing Bowman has improved in the last 2 months is his overall goal threat. He shoots more often, has improved his finishing and positional sense. He's always had the attribute of pace and decent skill, now he's more rounded.

I said a couple of months ago that all he needed to do was improve his finishing, and I said he'd shred the BSN if he improved. I still believe that.

exile tony · Post by **exile tony** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:24 pm

Kris Taylor poty for me, and Ryan Bowman ypoty. hope we keep these two, and all our other young players who have been a credit to themselves and Lidds

Quakerz · Post by **Quakerz** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:31 pm

Wouldn't winning POTY be the equivalent of winning gingerest s*** in the sewer? Do we really have to have a POTY this year? I can't begin to imagine the kudos of being voted the best player in a completely crap non league team that got relegated to pub football without winning in 4 months.

I think Drewe's got one hand on the Pippo Inzaghi Award for most offsides in a season now after today too.

You cant be offside from a goalkick but if the ball is touched on then you are offside
