This could be a close call. Graham looked odds on beginning of season then Dempsey showed his class then we have Oliver who could still finish with 20+ goals this season. Personally I would go for Dempsey Young must go again to Tucker. Not as good as last season but still been good.
I honestly can't decide, which is a good thing... Overall consistent season long performance: Graham Workhorse who always puts in a good shift: Dempsey Goal scorer and part of the trio: Oliver I'd probably go with the same as gio......Dempsey Young one again the same as gio....Tucker I really hope we can hold this team together, amazing what it's done since January, imagine if we could start a season like that!
I can't argue with any of those selections, however, I would suggest that Cundy has been vital to our defence.
I would have to give it as a 3 way tie between Dempsey, Graham and Oliver...... So - for August -- If we can keep these and sign Cundy ( has been very good ), I believe that O'Keefe is having more influence - as is MacDonald... I thought that Samuel showed some of his ability today ( another for next season .) Tucker has disappointed me - he is too weak & often 'bullied' off the ball... needs to put on a bit of muscle in the summer. Akinde can do a job - but I'm not sure if it's top-end of L1.... Lee can be useful - and probably would get in 'my' squad.... As for the rest ( that includes O'Gilvie and Jackson ) - sorry - not good enough. Evans is going to be busy in the summer - starting with a clear out of most of the 'contracted' defence....... So, having undoubtedly upset a few of you who love O'Gilvie's falling down routine, what are your thoughts on retained and wishlist ( bear in mind, we'll have the '' smallest budget in League 1. '' )
I don't know who's on what contract, so I will just say who I would keep... 1. Graham but he will probably leave to a better club 2. Dempsey absolute workhorse 3. Oliver, I know, i know, but I'm allowed to be wrong 4. MacDonald experienced player not frightened of a challenge, my style of player 5. Lee, he's the sort of guy that will score a winner in the dying seconds of a play-off final 6. O'Keefe, I don't care about his yellow cards 7. Cundy alongside 8. Tucker So that's 8 keeps.
All of above if possible but unlikely. Also Ogivile Still think Bonham is good enough but don't mind if he goes. O Conner will also be available so could be an option. Love it if we could sign Slattery. Jackson lol. To be fair he has been solid recently and his throw ins do cause panic. mackenzie was definitely signed on a two year deal so will still be here as back up
Just signed a new deal at Bristol City so can't see him staying sadly. Would imagine Bristol will want him around their first team next season.
In terms of the original question my votes would be as follows: Player of the Year: Jordan Graham 2nd Vadaine Oliver 3rd Kyle Dempsey Young player has to be Tucker but I would say this season hasn't been so strong for him as last season.
