[Archived] Fans Player Of The Season

[SAS]

i didnt think bellamy warranted player of the season, as he hasnt played a season, hes played half of one

lucas neill for me then, he seems to have had his best season so far for us and been very consistent imo

[speeeeeeedie]

Interesting that last season we conceded 43 goals.  So far this season we've conceded 42.  Of course we've scored 46 vs 32 so shows you that a good striker is the difference between avoiding relegation and competing for champs league/Europe...

How many did we concede before the floodgates closed after Hughes took charge? He lost his first 2 by 4 goals, after that we conceded a lot less than this year. So I would vote for Bellamy, he is a class above. Nelsen is good, but the defence hasn't played up to last year's stinginess.

I do remember Batty winning the player of the year one time ahead of Shearer so it's not always about goalscoring.

The defence reached it's ultimate stinginess last year when Nelsen came in. Plus, we aren't playing 4-5-1 anymore which is why we are not as tight at the back but also scoring more goals.

The stinginess was down to, in a large part, the 451 and the brilliance of Moko in the holding role.

Actually, considering how poorly the various partners to Bellamy are performing at the moment, is 451 an option:?

                   

                    Bellamy

    Peter                              Reid

              Savage      Tugay     

                        Moko

      Gray    Nelsen  Zurab  Niell

                      Friedel

Subs: Encks, Todd, Pendersen, Bentley, Pongo/Kuqi/Dickov

At home it might be a bit much to play that way, but away at Charlton it could do the trick.

[BRFC4EVA]

Big Steven Reid for me. Has improved so much from the lost little boy who we first saw under Souness when he signed! Superb fitness, has played in every game, tackles well, box to box every game superb. Thought he was excellent against Liverpool. I would have gone for Bellamy, but dont think you can pick a player who has only half the season.

[FourLaneBlue]

can fans see the game of football or do they go 4 the glory,nelsen is emmense and bellars is good,a few goals and we all forget about the best player we have had at ewood for a very long time

True, I voted for Bellamy almost instinctively. Having thought a bit more about it I'd change it to Nelsen if I could.

[colin]

i will argue the fact,bellars has missed upteen games,gone missing in games,for every goal bellars scores nelsen makes five tackles,he is supreme fact

You took the words out of my mouth. Bellamy has been good this season. He's been good as a goalscorer. On the occasions he has been on the pitch.

There are better candidates for player of the season. He's just winning because he has scored goals over the past few months. Which is what he is meant to do. Other players have done what they have meant to do, but much better.

It's an Antipodean for me.

I'll beg to differ. Nelsen is a very good player but certainly ain't no Colin Hendry and has been at fault for several goals this season.

Bellamy is a class apart and would fully justify the award.

Although if the award is judged strictly on players who have contributed over the WHOLE of the season there are only two live contenders imo - Nelsen and Reid and I'd give Reid the edge.

[waggy]

every defender has been at fault with giving goals away but steven reid,rev

[Presty On Tour]

imo reid is not player of the season but the most improved player this season. fairplay to the guy he has worked hard at his game and has been asked by hughes to play in a variety of positions which to my knowledge, he hasn't complained once, where with other player mentalities, they could have lost their rag quite easily.

if reid keeps his head and keeps working hard he will be a valuable asset for us.

[Nayef]

Kuqi for me.

[Hughesy]

Bellamy by a long way for me.

Nelsen makes plenty of mistakes. Bellamy is the best goalscorer we have had since the SAS partnership.

If we didnt have bellamy and we have Dickov instead, now where would we be in the league?

[tchocky]

Yes, the fans have been missing a proper striker for a while now. To finally get one has deluded their judgement.

Got to be Nelsen. A goal is all he needs (maybe the one that nails 6th for us) to round off a great season for him and the team.

[tonyoz]

Bellamy is the player most responsible for the turn around in fortunes this season. He has added the killer touch that we have been missing for so long. It's just a pity that he has been receiving such pathetic support recently. He is a class act and everyone dreads the news when he is injured. He's the man for me.

Craig Bellamy has been named in Football365's 'Alternative Team of the year'. MGP on the bench.

"Striker: Craig Bellamy

Without him, Blackburn are an average team destined for mid-table mediocrity. With his chavness on board, Blackburn are on the verge of qualifying for Europe."

F365's Alternative Team Of The Year

[Presty On Tour]

yeah a impact and improvement team.

you have to say the impact bellamy has had on us this season has been immense. like hughsey said if we had dickov upfront instead where would we be?

[colin]

Nelsen for me.

Bellamy's only there because he scores goals every now and then.

[Ricky]

Nelsen's only there because he stops goals every now and then

[gazsimm]

i went for Reid a couple of weeks ago, but i might be changing my choice to Nelson, he is just getting better and better by each game

On the topic of Reid, I think he's just getting better and better every game.

[cn_barlow]

[cletus]

On the topic of MGP, i think Spuds £5m is looking better & better every game!

[sambo]

Reid is good but think of the frustration when he hits a 40 yarder high and wide!!! Happened a lot since Wigan!!!! Getting better and one of the 1st names on the team sheet.

I read that too and it cheesed me off to Wensleydale and back.

How about "Without Roman Abramovich, Chelsea are just a mid table team" or "Without Thiery Henry Arsenal can't score many goals." Absolute meaningless nonsense.
