Bigdoggsteel Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 With the players apparently having finished up for the season, lets get the ball rolling with this. For me it has to be Graham. In a season of disappointments with players who I expected so much more from(Lenihan, Nyambe , Brereton, Rothwell). Inconsistent players (Dack, Reed, Bell, Rodwell) And frankly those who have really disappointed (Mulgrew, Raya) Then the final category, squad pedestrians (Bennett, Conway, Evans, Smallwood) To be honest the only players apart from Graham who has exceeded my expectations were Armstrong (who could arguably go to the inconsistent players list) and Travis. 1-Graham 2-Armstrong 3- Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Tom Posted March 4, 2019 Backroom Share Posted March 4, 2019 Travis has played what 10 games? He was really good for the first few but beyond that not anything above and beyond. At this point it’s a difficult one through lack of options, imagine it will come down to Graham and Dack but for me Dack has really frustrated since November or so. At one point Nyambe was up there but being dropped set him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Axe Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Can't see much to argue with here although Reed's pre-Christmas form surely is as much as Armstrong has produced. Also should not Lenihan get some credit for wanting to head the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It comes down to Graham, Dack or Reed for me at this stage, though the latter two have been patchy now for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog of the rovers Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Slim pickings at the moment Danny Graham probably the most deserving, but still 11 games to go (nearly a quarter of the season) so chance for some to stake a claim. Dack, Armstrong and Reed have shown flashes. None of the defensive quintet deserve recognition based on our record. Corry Evans has performed well in patches, but hardly a Player of the Year candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking a MOS won't be easy this season. too many underachievers. I used MOS instead of POS for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The cupboard is almost bare! Nearly a quarter of the season to go but for me Graham's the only contender. Tells you all you need to know about how poor our team is and how poor our season has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewood Ace Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Graham, Reed and Dack the only players even worthy of consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbrovers2288 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 God that’s depressing when there is literally no deserved winners. Dack for me probably but he has fell off a cliff and is capable of so much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blue Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 1. Graham - couldn't have managed without him 2. Travis - fought to get into first team 3. Reed - but I'm puzzled why he's not been himself lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 There’s only one player who has got me out of my seat this season but Mowbray won’t play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) 1) Graham - He's consistently led the line well and is on his way to 15 goals for the season. Good return for a striker who is used primarily as a target man and who rarely gets a decent cross to get on the end of. 2) Dack - for his goals and his performances up to Christmas. He won us games on his own and was bound to be marked out of games eventually when he is virtually our only creative spark. 3) Our only central defender capable of running, marking and winning headers. Armstrongs had about 4 good games so I've no idea why he gets a mention. Edited March 4, 2019 by blueboy3333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 For me, an open and shut case. With very little service, minimal crosses, and aimless hoofs regularly and blindly played up to him, hes been excellent. Has done everything to dispel myths about a perceived physical wane with consistently impressive performances, a competitive goal and assist tally and some text book leading of the line. Dack would have to be second, despite a lean couple of months his goal and assist contributions are still impressive. Armstrong has had one excellent month amidst a season of mainly poor performances, Travis is young player of the year but his performances have dropped to the mean following a superb few initial performances, and Reed and Evans have had decent seasons. Aside from that, nothing else of note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Surely there’s only Graham in the mix here? Dack has largely downed his tools since November bar the odd flash or two. Reed hasn’t be at it for a couple of months (granted I’d be peeved getting shoved everywhere by TM too). If there was underperformer of the year then it’d be a battle and a half.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted March 4, 2019 Moderation Lead Share Posted March 4, 2019 Armstrong blows hot and cold, but has only had a few good games really. Reed and Dack for a while were in contention, but have been off the boil recently. Despite being starved of service, can it really be anyone other than Graham? I know he’s allegedly past it (to be fair, he will need to be replaced sooner rather than later), but strikers are only as good as their service. He’s had very little and still bagged a number of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davulsukur Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Graham is the only worthy candidate with Dack second due to his form in the first part of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Can you change the end of the title to 2018-2019. March is a bit early for player of 2019. It's just really bugging me. Standards etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim mk2 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is as bad as 2 years ago when Williams won it in the relegation season. Graham's been the best of an inconsistent and underachieving bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely 15 or 16 teams who have better squads on paper than us.. I’d take pretty much any other back 4 in the league than ours bar only a couple.

We only have such a poor defence due to a negligent attitude towards spending barely any of the considerable resources the manager has had in his time here on it.
