I find it hard to look past Eastwood. He’s not had as good a season this year - but in all honesty it’s been difficult for him when, up until Clotet left, he basically had a different defence in front of him every week.
He’s made a number of errors, but there are also plenty of games where he was effectively ‘won the game’ for us with some outstanding saves he has no right to make. I’m thinking in particular of the 1-0 home wins against Donny and Blackpool. And currently that’s the gap between us and the drop zone.
Henry is among our most talented players. But he’s been inconsistent all year, and that’s before the whole ‘shhh’ thing is taken into account.
And, whilst I hold no ill-will to Ribs, I do find it a little uncomfortable to disrespect the playing squad so by voting for him as POTY. I’m also not sure, as noble and gutsy as his intentions may have been, I’m ok voting for a guy who risked (and perhaps even cost us) points by taking to the field when he knew full well he shouldn’t have been there. His interviews were outstanding as far as footballers go, and I feel desperately sorry for him that his career has been taken away - but not my player of the year at all!
