Andrew Davies
Andrew Davies

It has been far from a great season for Saints, but even so thoughts are turning to who has done their best for the team.

Andrew Davies won the player of the year at the club's own awards night this week.

But will his total of just 23 appearances go against him in the fans' vote?

Totally Agree no one deserves the award

Nathan Dyer , he is so full of skill, pace, flair, honesty, tracks back to help his defenders, skins the opposition, can pick out a 50 yard pass to open up a defence - and he is a proven match winner.

Couldn't believe it going on Saints Fc.com and seeing that they have had awards! Taking into account the season we've had would have been so much more appropriate to have it after the season. None of the players have provern a thing yet! We've got 2 games left that's what we should be concentrating on, not dressing up and accepting awards, suprised we can even afford the making of the awards but atleast we're seeing where our ticket money on. Makes me sick.

Last week at the game i came home so gutted, i just hope we stay up. True red & white forever.

I really dont think that anyone playing 23 games deserves "player of the season". Dont get me wrong Andrew Davies is class but he hasnt played for a season.

Question is if you had to predict who the fans would vote "player of the season" at the beginning of the season would the top three candidates be

Saga
Viafara
Ostlund

Adam Lallana, the only player not to put a foot wrong all season.

Nobody deserves the award, well maybe the loyal 20,000 odd fans that go each week.

Looking at the awards on the official site I see Licka got most improved player after what a maximum of 10 performances, none match winning, and Davies player of the season after 23 performances and our only great performer. To be honest they probably did an award for every player, though I have not read the details as I cant be bothered.

If anybody gets this award I will be very suprised, guess they have to give it someone. Le Tissier???

Erm, it's a fairly standard thing across the footballing world, player of the season.

Or are you just quite new to the world of football?

Northampton would be good as I live 15minutes away.. Not renewing season ticket next year..
I can watch MK dons/Posh ot the Cobblers and save on travel costs etc.. I suppose I could always watch Saints Rugby team!!

I think Andrew Davies has shown the most effort this season, however, is it right to be dishing out awards for, possibly the worst season of all time, in terms of effort & commitment...? if so, then an award should go to the Fans who turn out in all weathers, spend a fortune on parking, shirts, beer, food etc..... in exchange for utter, unadulterated dross.... I get more excited & satisfied, watching my 10 year old son's Tyro League games, on a Sunday morning, those Boys get a quid a goal if they're lucky & give 200% effort & have just won their league, with a game left to play...

Irony I just love it.
For a minute I thought there were two of him.

The Player of the Year was awarded properly on Tuesday night and that was young Matt Paterson winning the Academy Player of the Year. An outstanding talent who should be splashed all over the Echo pages - not the inept first team.
Posted by: Martin Betts, Suffolk on 7:27pm Sat 26 Apr 08
Is this some Pompey fans idea of a p*ss take!!

We are in the bottom 3, heading rapidly towards games against the likes of MK Dons & Hereford!

We have NO player of the year!

NOBODY WHO HAS WORN THE RED & WHITE THIS SEASON DESERVES ANY CREDIT!

THE WHOLE CLUB IS A DISGRACE!

i think we have good cance of being relegated

I agree - Andrew Davies. I hope we can keep him if the inevitable happens - League 1. I'm gutted. Sheffield Wednesday won today making our chances of survial slim with the games left - James Beattie could relegate us.

You come out with the same old cr*p time and time again and even this is not very original, I did something similar a few weeks ago but much better and you won all of the awards. This attempt is pathetic, what an embarrassment you are to pfc,its fans and the now defunct but REAL members of the 657 Crew What a waster!!!!!!! I'll save you the need to reply, I'll do it for you. SHUT IT SCUMMER! ANYTIME SCUMMER! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BULLSH*T, BULLSH*T, BULLSH*T!
youre just showing yourself to be a complete scum numpty. I wouldnt say that as whats the point scum never show. Bet youre from sholing as you obviously have low intelligence
Once again, wrong on all points screw 6,5,7 (year olds)and you've also lost the bet.
Same sh!te as always, you really are a complete t*sser!
I see you dont dispute your membership to the 657 then? thought not! and what part or parts of my posting suggest "low intelligence"?
The words POT, KETTLE & BLACK spring to mind.
WASTER!

Dyer and Wright-Phillips are both theives and don't deserve anything.....Richard Wright has played brill in goal and I would be pleaseed if he stayed with us. My vote goes to Andrew Davies!!

Perry, don't care if he's only been here a few games, he has done enough to win player of the season
Posted by: Rob, London on 1:47pm Wed 11 Jun 08
Stern John......Standard

Without his goals we would have been relagated for sure.
