gio1saints Posted 18 December, 2023 Share Posted 18 December, 2023 KWP first easily. AA second. Flynn third. Honourable mentions : Baz most improved player, THB solid solid, Stu best season for ages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 18 December, 2023 Share Posted 18 December, 2023 Bednarek has to be up there, especially as he is playing and thriving in a style fee thought he had the skillset to adapt to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. One thing I notice with him this season over previous ones is that he never seems to get caught out of position and then make an absolute hash of trying to get back and make a block/tackle like he used to do with alarming regularity. I wonder how much of that is down to playing at a lower level and how much is down to the new style? Under Ralph he was often part of a high defensive line when our entire front 6 were pressing hard, and that led to a lot of his mistakes. This season he's still often found near the halfway line, but only when we're passing it around comfortably and keeping the opposition back in a low block, rather than chasing them down and trying to win the ball back in the oppo's half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done well, Bednarek. Fully redeemed himself in my eyes after his comments upon joining Villa. Is one of a number of players who look up with the best of them at Championship level after stuttering in the Prem......both Armstrongs and Airibo also in that category. KWP player of the season by a space; Downes right up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 19 December, 2023 Share Posted 19 December, 2023 KWP, Downes, Adam Armstrong. What a lovely dilemma to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2023 Share Posted 19 December, 2023 There are a few honourable mentions - Stu (new lease of life), Downes (very important to the way we play), THB (when he started the defence improved), Bednarek (who has improved since THB played alongside him) and AA (goals and work-rate) but KWP has to be the player of the season so far. He is a Premier League player and, at present, we are lucky to have him. Bar AA though it's noticeable that we don't have any other attacking players to nominate. Fraser has been good sporadically, Carlos and Sulemana have underachieved, Edozie was dropped for a long time, Adams and Mara haven't done anything. Attack definitely needs looking at in the window unless some existing players find form over the Christmas period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 19 December, 2023 Share Posted 19 December, 2023 KWP followed by Downes. Those two are the clear standouts, then we have the chasing pack who have all performed admirably on this unbeaten run - Bednarek, Stu, THB, A.Armstrong.

pingpong Posted 19 December, 2023 Share Posted 19 December, 2023 Given that our play style is so dependent on passing, and the sheer number of passes we make per game, it has to be our best passer of the ball. Gavin bazunu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 20 December, 2023 Share Posted 20 December, 2023 KWP easily so far. A good half dozen in "honourable mentions" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 20 December, 2023 Share Posted 20 December, 2023 Could really go to a bunch of different names right now, KWP standing out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 20 December, 2023 Share Posted 20 December, 2023 Not sure to be honest. KWP is superb, the Armstrong boys have been excellent and the centre-backs have been really solid. I will say though, we are a much poorer side when Downes isn’t playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakovnetski Posted 20 December, 2023 Share Posted 20 December, 2023 KWP is the obvious choice and we would all have expected it to be so. For me Adam A next as he has found his confidence again (maybe his level?) Then I have been very impressed with Downes. If we don't try to sign him up permanently then we are nuts.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 30 December, 2023 Share Posted 30 December, 2023 Just saw on Twitter Arma has more goal contributions (21) the the likes of mbappe haaland and Salah .as much as everyone loves kwp and downes AA has to be in the conversation. Terrific work rate and closing down too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted 30 December, 2023 Share Posted 30 December, 2023 POTS: KWP is like having a cheat code in the Champ. Otherwise Janny B & Arma so far, for me. THB also in with a shout. Most improved: Edozie, Bazunu (and if they carry on the way they are, Aribo & Mara, though need a run of meaningful appearances from the latter, not 5 mins here and there).
