Football Special Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I need some help to decide who to vote for, needs to be a player with 15+ first team appearances, Fernandes? https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/voting-open-for-fans-player-of-the-season
SaintNewForest Posted May 15 Posted May 15 As if they're actually opening a player of the season vote ... read the room, guys.
gio1saints Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) Mateus has consistently been our best player, but celebrating any player award, in this season of terrible performances, seems wrong. Southampton FC supporters have been exceptional this season. So, instead of a player I’d give it to all Saints fans who watched Saints, home or away, especially the latter part of season when we were doomed. They have been excellent as the 12th man. At times the players did not deserve such support and our fans - good natured, loud and loyal, have been incredible. Saints supporters are the worthy recipients of Player of the Season.

Toussaint Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) I can't see why anyone would wish to deny Fernandes that honour , irrespective of the teams performance. Not only has he been our best player, our most consistent player, who's head has never dropped and considering his tender age he's been phenomenal. Edited May 16 by Toussaint Typo 11
Patrick Bateman Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) And then they make you vote on that god awful app that feels like it was developed on bubble.io in 5 minutes. Edited May 15 by Patrick Bateman
sockeye Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I went with Fernandes, never short of effort and passion, a bright spark in a miserable season. Hope he ends up somewhere where he can flourish next season.
disconnect Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Fernandes and Ramsdale. KWP in a distant third I guess if we had to go that far.
coalman Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I don't see myself downloading the Saints app just to vote. Everyone knows the saintsweb vote is the only one that really matters anyway. 1
kitch Posted May 15 Posted May 15 In the context of the season you'd give it to nobody (and not even hold an end of season award thing), but above that I believe Fernandes deserves some recognition for the shift he's put in. Class player, great signing, huge potential. The club almost doesn't deserve him. 1
S-Clarke Posted May 16 Posted May 16 I don't think it's appropriate to have any end of season awards, I'm shocked the club have even had the nerve to open a vote - tradition or not. Yeah, we've had a couple of players who have been better than the rest, but we've got 12 points ffs. If I was a player I wouldn't want an award on the back of this season, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I did get one. The club should sack it off and burn the memory of this season when the curtain comes down.

Plenty of people will pay top dollar to sit and have some food with a player who really would rather be somewhere else!
Holmes_and_Watson Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Not touching the app... but it would be Ramsdale for me. The highest quality player we have, and without whom it could actually have been a lot worse. 1
Lighthouse Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Fernandes is the only one who has consistently put in performances which belong in the PL. Ramsdale has more good games than bad but has let in a few goals he really shouldn’t be too pleased about. KWP likewise, he’s an okay PL player but has been suspect for his fair share of goals conceded. Literally everyone else belongs in the Championship.
saintstowin Posted May 16 Posted May 16 (edited) I was thinking along these lines about our goal of the season. Most seasons there are some beauties. I honestly can't think of even a really good goal. Edited May 16 by saintstowin

Willo of Whiteley Posted May 16 Posted May 16 I think we change it up, let’s have some fun 😂 Player of the season: Most overrated: Biggest let down: Biggest surprise: Most average: Biggest comedy moment: Best signing: Worst signing: Biggest WTF moment: Worst manager: Biggest tactical/managerial error: “Bravest” moment: Best “heavy metal” pass: Go! 😁
HKsaint Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Ramsdale. Without him, we would have broken the Dereby record, number of goals conceded record and much more shameful than now. 1
Weston Super Saint Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Bazunu. No soft goals let in this season, massive improvement. 5
Oisin Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Fernandes aside, I agree with the sentiment to give it to no one. Nothing of this season deserves recognition or reward. But for a kid in his first season at this level, in a foreign country, in a horrific team with different managers and their different insane ideas he’s done remarkably well. Attitude in the circumstances is just as impressive as his performances have been. He deserves it. Ramsdale is the best of the rest but this kid has been a shimmering fleck of gold in a stinking pile of sewage. 1

You should start a thread “alternative awards” or something similar. 2
Roo1976 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Charlie Taylor.............................why?.......why buy him in the first instance?
Sarnia Cherie Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Ramsdale for me. We would have an even worse goal difference without him as we will likely find out next season.
LuckyNumber7 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Fernandes by a mile. Quality and a great attitude. Rambo second. Can't vote though as the app is shite. 1

Paulwantsapint81 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Can we vote for next week’s ref for ending the season? 1

I honestly can't think of even a really good goal. Sugawara vs Brentford. After gifting Newcastle the winner on opening day, then gifting Brentford two goals to go 3-0 down in the third match, Adam Lallana comes on in the 82nd minute and immediately looks a class above everyone else on the pitch. He combines with Tyler Dibling to set up the first goal of the season and give some hope that this side can score a few goals and maybe, if they stop gifting goals to the opposition, isn't entirely in over their heads. (Narrator: they were, in fact, in over their heads.) 1

St. Ciervo Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Ramsdale hands down. Even when the team has given up, he has stood on his head to keep us in games or at least not embarrassed further. Goal of the year? We have so many to choose from, it really is quite difficult, isn't it?
