    Did a thread on this about 6 weeks ago, when we all thought it would be announced at the Football League Awards. Presumably it will be done at the PFA awards. But it was announced this time last year:

    http://www.championshiptalk.com/who-would-you-name-in-your-championship-team-of-the-year-2011-1308

    So might be fun to have a go and see how many we get right:

    Federici

    Richardson Pearce Hooiveld Fox

    Burke Whittingham Karacan Lallana

    Lambert Vaz Te

    Near Misses: Kebe, SKD, McCormack, Matt Phillips, McAnuff, Gorkks, Snodgrass, Hobbs, Tomkins, Noble, Coppinger

    Tough positions: right back - went for Frazer for volume of assists. Would have liked Burke and Phillips but would be cheating to put Burke at RB! Also wanted Snodgrass in but couldn't leave Lallana out. Potentially deserves to be above Whittingham but I'll give it to him! Also Gorkks maybe above Jos but I picked him for his 7 goals, including 2 huge ones vs West ham.

    There's more Soton players than any other because I think over the season (as many managers have said) we've played the best football as is reflected by our goal difference.

    Be very interested to know other's thoughts!

    Who decides who makes the team? Managers, fans...sports journalists...any idea?

    I would be very surprised if we had 3 defenders in the team of the year, although its hard to argue against Jos (one of the best defences + goals) and Richardson and Fox (assists). Our strengths are in our possession and attacking play and Hull and Reading should have defenders in the team of the year. Depending on who decides the team I can see Clyne getting in there on media hype and Zaha because the media love him too. It will also be interesting to see how many WH players get in there because by reputation a fair few could.. It's hard to look past the three nominated for Championship player of the year so I expect Lallana, Lambert and Whittingham to be in the team. I think between the team you have posted and your near misses that's probably pretty much it.

    Richardson will be challenged at rb by Clyne
    Fox will be challenged at lb by Harte
    Hooiveld however should make the team alongside Lallana and Lambert

    Davies could have a shout to make it as the keeper, as could morgan for CM (however I feel the later is unlikely)

    Clyne could be a good shout. Fox has mroe assists than Harte ad surely has been a better allround LB. The players choose the team as far as I know...
