Frankie 8,150 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 With the first game of the new season already upon us (even if it is a friendly), let's see who everyone thinks will be our Player of the Year for this season... Leading contenders may be McGregor/Alexander, Thomson, Bougherra, Davis and Boyd. Or will you go for a Mr Reliable like Papac, Novo, Whittaker or Weir? Perhaps one of the younger players like Fleck, Edu, Lafferty or Naismith will grab their opportunity? Who are you going with? Somewhat controversially, I'm going to go with Pedro Mendes for next season. I was a bit disappointed with his overall contribution last term but I think he'll benefit from playing alongside a settled midfield this term and with the extra games in Europe, he'll find a higher level of consistency than he did last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'll go with Kevin Thomson. I think this will be the year he comes of age 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Make it a poll Frankie. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Make it a poll Frankie. I was going to but there are probably too many choices for that - polls are limited to 10. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm going for Lafferty, on the proviso that Smith plays him consistently up front. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm going for Lafferty, on the proviso that Smith plays him consistently up front. Oooh, sticking your neck out there mate! Must admit I reckon the big man has everything when playing at the top of his game. The match where he got injured against Hearts last season was the best 45 mins I've seen from a 'Gers forward in a long time. Like you say though, he has to play up front. Unfortunately, unless we go with a 3 man strike-force he may find his chances limited if Miller stays fit and Boyd keeps scoring. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I will go for Boyd, again. If he stays fit and plays in a 4-4-2, he will again break the 30 goal mark for the season. The improvement to his overall game last season was admirable, as was his decision to turn down a pay rise and a transfer to Brum, and this season we could see even more from him. Other contenders for me will hopefully be Bougherra, Whittaker, and Davis. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'll go for Whittaker, he's shown flashes of genius, which if he can reproduce regularly, while improving his defensive duties and workrate, could turn out to be better than Hutton. He needs to read the game a lot better though, which is the one aspect Hutton really demonstrated during his rise to stardom. I agree with Frankie in expecting Mendes to have a far better season now that he's settled in. I'm also hoping for an improvement from Davis and Lafferty, who showed great potential while not really delivering their full ability. Thomson is another great candidate if he can quickly get back the form of last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,489 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Kevin Thomson for me. I think he could have been in with a shout in our Title winning campaign but for injury 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Boyd for me. If he keeps improving his game like he did last season and keeps scoring for fun he can't keep being ignored surely. I also hope he gets a chance in the 'bigger' games........ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
