Following discussions with the Mods, the polls have been deleted as it is better for it to be all in one thread rather than clogging up the forum Votes will still be counted, and posted on The Morning of Friday 27th April along with the already running poll of Player of the Season So, the categories: Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Most Improved Player of the Year: Signing of the Season: Goal of the Season: Game of the Season: You can vote for who you want (as long as they are sensible options and saints players), so get voting!
Young Player of the Year: Know so little about the young players, or rather non I can think of!! Most Improved Player of the Year: Hammond Signing of the Season: Hoover Goal of the Season: Young Lee's (At St Mary's anyway) Game of the Season: Pompey at St Mary's despite the result
Young Player of the Year: Martin Most Improved Player of the Year: Rickie has been immense despite pre sason doubts he could hack it at this level Signing of the Season: Jos Goal of the Season: The one that takes us up! Game of the Season: as above
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Ben Reeves Most Improved Player of the Year: Frazer Richardson Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Tadanari Lee v Derby Game of the Season: Saints 2 - 2 Pompey (if only for the atmosphere)
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Reeves, broke through and looked very decent indeed. Most Improved Player of the Year: Gonna say Lambert, a lot of people doubted his ability to step up and said he would flop etc. 27 league goals says otherwise, plus his all round play is suberb. Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld, don't know how anyone could say someone else ? Goal of the Season: Connoly v 'Boro. If that was a big side that had 26 consecutive passes we would still be hearing about it now, as it's lil old Southampton though, no one even picked up on it at the time! Game of the Season: Saints 2-2 Pompey, for the atmosphere and the neutral. My personal favourite is the Leeds game though, what a start to this incredible season, we were absolutely fantastic on an opening day Deano's goal was sweet as well.
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Ben Reeves Most Improved Player of the Year: We haven't seen a lot of him but I think Aaron Martin's not looked as shaky as he did last year Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Lee v Derby Game of the Season: Boro at home
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Aaron Martin (Put in some good displays this season) Most Improved Player of the Year: Aaron Martin again Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld (no question about that one) Goal of the Season: Hammond v Leeds (To start the seaon off) Game of the Season: Millwall 2-3 Saints (For the drama and what it meant, bit like MK Dons last year)
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Toss up between Reeves and JWP. Ben Reeves has played more games this season so I suppose he gets my vote this time Most Improved Player of the Year: Frazer Richardson - rarely featured last season but has made the step up brilliantly and has put in some vital assists to help keep us up there. Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld- without a doubt. Had never heard of him before the start of the season but he is rock solid and a strong part of the team! Goal of the Season: Dean Hammond v Leeds Utd. Excellent strike and a great way to introduce us back to the Championship! Game of the Season: Southampton 2-2 Pompey, regardless of the score, the atmosphere was buzzing even an hour before kick off! Very good!
Young Player of the Year: Ben Reeves Most Improved Player of the Year: Aaron Martin Signing of the Season: Jos Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Lee v Derby Game of the Season: Saints 2 - 2 Pompey
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Ward-Prowse Most Improved Player of the Year: Schneiderlin Signing of the Season: Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Tadanari Lee Game of the Season: Saints 3-2 Forest
Young Player of the Year (Under 21):Martin (is he just under 21? if not, Ward-Prowse) Most Improved Player of the Year: Morgan Signing of the Season: Jos/Cork (had to mention Corky as I think he gets over looked because he isn't spectacular, but a huge contribution from him this season) Goal of the Season: Home to Middlesbrough - David Connolly. Epitomises how I think the game should be played. If Man U or Asrenal had scored that it would be shown every day on the hour for the entire season. Game of the Season: I'm torn between the Leeds and the West Ham games at home. The Leeds game because there was no expectations and we were just fabulous, and the West Ham game because we really dug in and battled them, while still showing them how to play!
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Reeves - did very well in the (few) matches I've seen him play Most Improved Player of the Year: Deano Signing of the Season: Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Hammond V Leeds. Massive inspirational moment that made me think we're in for a great season Game of the Season: Leeds at home. We were incredible.
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Prowse Most Improved Player of the Year: Hammond Signing of the Season: Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Lee's goal Game of the Season: Millwall vs Saints
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Luke Shaw - May not have heard much of him in terms of being in the first team but has been playing well for the development sides and earner himself a place in the England U17's squad. Has been attracting interest from a host of top clubs too. Most Improved Player of the Year: Aaron Martin - has been quality in the handful of games he's played in, taking the steps up from non-league very well. Been involved in every match day squad this season! Quite an achievment. Signing of the Season: Close between Jack Cork and Jos Hooiveld Goal of the Season: Morgan Schneiderlin away at Forest Game of the Season: Leeds at Home - first game of the season and what a performance!
Young player - James Ward-Prowse Most improved - Rickie Lambert. We knew he was good, but he's surpassed all expectations this season Best signing - Hooiveld, but Lee looks like an excellent signing from left field. Best goal - David Connolly against Middlesborough Best game - we've played better, but as contests go it's got to be the skates at St Mary's
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Luke Shaw - Give the kid a game! Most Improved Player of the Year: Lambert - Who honestly thought that Rickie would be top of the scoring charts? Signing of the Season: Hooiveld - Jos who? Goal of the Season: Can't think of one Game of the Season: Leeds first game - they gave us no chance.
Young Player of the Year (Under 21): Aaron Martin. Solid when he has been called upon. Most Improved Player of the Year: Frazer Richardson. Absolutely class act. Signing of the Season: Hooiveld, no need for an explanation really. Goal of the Season: Dean Hammond vs Leeds. First goal of the season to announce our return, and it was a cracker. Game of the Season: Saints 3-1 Leeds. First game back in the championship, and we tore an established Leeds team to shreds.
