    As the season stutters to the finishing line a few simple questions for everyone to ponder over and give there opinions.

    Player of the season
    Performance of the season
    Goal of the season
    Most improved player
    Thought he would do better


    For me: player of the season - can't separate Bardsley and Sess. Bardsley is everything you want in a footballer, brilliant attitude ,strong, fearsome, would run through a brick wall for benefit of the team, and in my opinion a very good fullback.I would even go on to say should be club captain. With Sess it is the difference he makes to the team, would be the best signing in the summer if we could get him to sign a new longer contract.

    Permance of the season: away to Man city, only team to score 3 at Etihad, first to take any points of City at home, 3 very good goals.

    Goal of the season : tricky in a season where we have scored many very good goals but I will say Vaughns Against Blackburn not only a very sweet strike but the importance of the goal and the start of the MON bandwagon.

    Most improved player: Colback, always thought he was a bit of a lightweight but has proved me wrong with many good performances, has never let the team down.

    Thought he would do better : for me it has to be Wickham I know he is only a boy and he has had his injury problems but I just don't see a prem footballer in him, hope I am wrong but can see him on loan in the championship next year and never coming back.

    That's my thoughts , what do you think ??????

    Player of the season - Sess with McLean as young player of the year.
    Performance of the season - Man City closely followed by Norwich at home for different reasons
    Goal of the season - Sessengon against Norwich, class move from start to finish.
    Most improved player - Colback, now Mr Consistent and worthy of his place most weeks
    Thought he would do better - Craig Gardner, I won't criticise him for not scoring goals as he's often playing a deeper role than he did at Birmingham but his performances at times have been awful.

    Player - Sess - most skillful player I've seen for us
    Performance - Home to Man City - makeshift team giving their all against league leaders and a last kick of the game winning goal
    Goal - Larson v Blackburn - making sure MON started with a win
    Most Improved - Colback/Mignolet - although both more continuous improvement
    Thought he would do better - Wickham - looked promising until got injured against Man U then not much since

    Player: Sess
    Young Player: Mclean
    Performance: Man City at home. half the team out injured, busting their gut all game and still find the energy for one last run up the pitch and score the winner
    Most improved: Cattermole or Colback
    Thought he would do better (is this an "award"?) : Vaughan/Gardner

    Missed the goal of the season, but I agree with this. Campbell's goal was stunning.

    Player of the season - Sessegnon, its been a privilege to have him here

    Young Player - McClean. When we forgot what a left winger was he burst onto the scene like superhero

    Performance - Man City at home easily

    Goal of the season. Larsson freekick in mons first game purely for the significance of it. It could have turned out very differently if that hadn't gone in.

    Most Improved - Would have to give it to McClean considering no one had heard of him at the start of the season and now he's the name on everyone's lips.

    Thought would do better - Wickham

    Ill add a new one that i suspect all answers may be the same;

    Villain of the year. Congratulations Steve Bruce

    Debate/topic of the year - BIBS vs BOBS

    shiney, I was going through your answers in my head then scrolled down to see they were almost identical (Sess for me over Bardhino, though I also love the guy). I equally like Larrson's purrfect injury time strike against Blackburn to clinch the game and our new dawn under MON - loved the reaction of Marty too, must have been 4 foot off the ground, so it just clinches it for me, it was a wild ride moment <ok>

    How many would it take to have Elmo as the answer to every category?

    Player of the season: Sessengon <3
    Performance of the season: Man City Away
    Goal of the season: Gardner vs Swansea (I don't think there's much difference between that and Crouch's vs City)
    Most improved: Sess. Under MON he's been a lot better
    Though he would do better: Gardner. 3 goals (maybe 4) from a 'goal scoring midfielder' isn't a good return and his general play is poor also
