Obviously there are lots of strong candidates in a season such as this, but for me it has to be Buendia. He's clearly far too good for this league and easily the best player in it, in my opinion.

TheGunnShow 5,925 Posted April 13, 2021 Buendia, Skipp, Hanley, in that order for me. That said, if he'd played all season there instead of being reprieved by the signing of Giannoulis, I'd have gone left-field with my vote and gone for Sorensen, for reasons that have been extremely well documented!

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted April 13, 2021 Where have people read/heard about the rumours of Spurs fans sabotaging the vote, out of interest? Looks like I'm the only one to have completely missed it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,759 Posted April 13, 2021 Got to be Buendia for me. Skipp 2nd, Pukki 3rd. Hard though plenty of players who'd walk it any other season, Cantwell etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 668 Posted April 13, 2021 In recent seasons the player of the month results counted towards the overall POTS. Assume they will do the same this year? Anyone know how the monthly awards went? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don’t be Krul 398 Posted April 13, 2021 Hanley will finish 3rd, think its a race between Emi and Skipp. Skipp for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like I'm the only one to have completely missed it! Spurs fans on twitter have effectively hijacked every single MOTM aware whenever Skipp was an option to vote for. I think he's probably won 10 odd MOTM awards. The annoying thing is he often deserves them and deserves to be in with a shout of being POTS. However if he does win it's going to be put down to Spurs fans being annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’d think the club would’ve taken steps to ensure at least the player of the season vote is done legitimately,  having witnessed Skipp winning every single MOTM vote whenever nominated and the Spurs fans littering the club’s Twitter. And as you say it’s a shame as I’d fancy Skipp to be right up there Buendia even from just us NCFC fans - although Buendia is certainly my pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I very much doubt they will be spending time analysing or cross-referencing postcodes Limiting the vote to those with a customer # would have been a much more sensible option. Long ago they used to hand out Voting Slips as you went through the turnstiles at CR. The system now is akin to them handing out those slips at the away turnstiles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Skipp or Buendia, could be either. Without Skipp we’d have been nowhere near as solid, allowing Emi to do his thing - which he’s done really well.  Tbh it feels harsh singling out one player when Max, Grant, Teemu and Todd could easily have a shout in any normal season.

Surely it's worse than that, as at least those away fans would have seen one game. The way it is absolutely anyone can vote. On the recent fans forum the club said they were aware of the spurs / Skipp issue and a supporters number would be required to vote to avoid this on the POTS vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted April 13, 2021 The thing is, the form does actually ask for a supporter number, but if I'm not mistaken it was optional. Or is this a secret way to root out potentially dodgy votes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does, and if you don't have one it asks for an address. Nowt to stop anyone voting, and voting multiple times with fake/other postal/email addresses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted April 13, 2021 Emi, Skipp, Pukki should probably be the order, but any one of those 3 would be worthy winners, as would Hanley, Max or possibly even Todd. Emi for me has been so hot since his last red card, seems to have turned a corner in managing his temperament which is a big achievement for him.

Mark .Y. 351 Posted April 14, 2021 So many options, Olly runs it close but Emi the stand out for me................ should be the Championship POTS too. Has been magical and completely unplayable at times, 50% more assists than the next nearest player is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,448 Posted April 14, 2021 I think anyone of Emi, Max, Hanley, Skipp or Pukki could genuinely have an argument. For me.... Emi 1st, Pukki 2nd, Skipp 3rd. Max could quite easily replace Skipp, IMO.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted April 14, 2021 Emi got my vote. I’ll be lucky to see anyone come close to him as a City player again. Phenomenal talent. A player we struggle with when out of the team. Skipp, Hanley, Pukki are all worthy shouts but Buendia has upped it another level this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219 Posted April 14, 2021 Think it’s interesting to ‘use’ the vote in the way that Farke-Webber might do. In effect - what does the club ‘gain’ most from? For that reason anything that encourages Skipp to stay next season is worth throwing into the pot. If it is simply ‘who is the best player?’ then Emi should win every year, every month, every day. For me then: 1. Skipp (stay) 2. Emi (Best and been brilliant anyway) 3. Grizzly (Engine for Champs success) If there was any other award I’d also like to send ‘love’ to Todd (needs it) Parma 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
