Presentation of Awards before the start of the Arsenal game.

NUST will present Tim Krul & Sylvain Marveaux with Player Of The Season Awards at St James' Park

Newcastle United Supporters' Trust will present Tim Krul and Sylvain Marveaux with Player of the Season awards at St James' Park on Sunday 19 May.

The awards, following an online poll of more than 3,000 Newcastle United fans across the North East, UK and the rest of the world by NUST will be made before Newcastle's last home game of the season against Arsenal.

Michael Thewlis from the Trust said:
"The player of the season award for Tim Krul is a recognition of his consistent performances again this season, a year after becoming our first choice 'keeper in his first season in the Premier League in 2011-12. Tim just beat Yohan Cabaye to the top award, with Davide Santon coming third. Although Tim has been absent with injuries this year, he has still made 31 first team appearances. In the games he has played he has made many match-winning and match-saving stops that has done much to keep us in the Premier League."

NUST also are awarding a Most Improved Player of the Year award to Sylvain Marveaux.

Michael Thewlis said:
"Fans really do appreciate seeing players develop at their club and think it is important that the work those players put in is recognised, and that is what this award is all about. Sylvain was the run-away winner of the fans' most improved player award, with Davide Santon coming second and James Perch coming third. Despite only starting in 20 games this year, fans have been impressed by Sylvain's positivity and battling, hard-working performances and they will certainly be looking forward to seeing him next season."

Well done Tim, he deserves something for the heroics he's performed at times.

 

Sad thing is they can't make the presentation on the pitch in front of the fans

Very good HD&Q.

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

 

Krul? He's done ok but been well below his form of last year. Cabaye???!!!! Santon???!!!! Who the **** responded to this poll and where was it advertised. An AA meeting?

I suppose they have to give it to someone and can't give it to a rightful winner who is no longer here (Demba Ba)

 

Marveaux has shown some glimpses of quality, but the fact that a player who only started 10 league games this season gets an award just shows the kind if season we've had.

"Most Improved" = spent less time on the treatment table than the previous season?
