    Alot of players have stepped up and made the difference hard to pick just 1, but Forrest, Wanyama, and Mulgrew stand out, Matthews, stokes and Ki have also had great seasons and have been important players

    Forrest, Stokes, Wanyama, Matthews - In that order.

    Kayal and Hooper don't make the cut because of their terrible start to the season.

    Stokes carried us with his goals for about a quarter of the season.

    i went for Forrest. he's been simply amazing this term. Wanyama is best buy of the season.


    have to agree. spot on ODWC.:50:

    James Forrest for me. It was close. Wanyama was also a contender, but I think Forrest has been amazing. He's done great beating people all season, scoring some, setting up, and has approached the game with a fantastic attitude. He also seems dedicated.

    Big Vic, Forrest, Mulgrew and Matthews.


    If i had to pick one then Wanyama would get my vote, despite the fact he's only a young guy i think he's brought a much needed calmness and solidity to the defence/midfield.

    He just seemed to hit the ground running with no settling in period.

    my top 5 would be:

    1.) Wanyama - what a find. best just infront of the defence, my POTHY

    2.) Forrest - A close second IMO, Deserves his accolade of being in top 100 young players.

    3.) Mulgrew - Kept our defense together so far and every time he's played he has been solid not to mention his set piece prowess. Great for him to come back this strong after his roller coaster month.

    4.) Hooper - Goals win you games. He's been hit and miss with form this season but that hasn't stopped him scoring important goals for us. You can play the best football in the world but if you dont have someone that's gonna socre you goals then you're *. Deserves to be in top 5 atleast.

    5.) Ledley - Mr Versatility and consitentcy for us. Without Ledley's input this season we wouldn't be anywhere as close to the position we are now. Such a hard grafter for the team! Love Ledley!


    ALSO. Think big FF deserves some praise!, some vital saves he has pulled out the hat for us. my number 6.)

    Stokes, how some people dont have him in their top 5 really baffles me.

    The fact there's a variety of votes shows how just good some of our players have been.

    Got to go with wee James Forrest. He's been solid throughout the season and *-well spectacular in some game.s If we go on to win the league then we'll all have to remember his second-half performance against Killie as a pivotal moment.
    Wanyama was a pretty close second but Jamesy has plain more games.

    Stokes
    Jimmy
    Wanyama
    Mulgrew
    Leldey


    I'll never forget how Stokesy took us by the scruff of the neck and practically dragged us out of our slump by himself.

    He would still be first name on the teamsheet for me, even when we go one up front.

    Like this post and agree with Forster, Forrest, Ki and Stokes up there also for pulling us through that terrible start to the season, Wanyama is a cult hero, not player of the season.
