Gersnet Player of the Year 2021/22 | James Tavernier


Recommended Posts

With 69% of the main end of season forum vote, the captain – who played in 58 of our 65 games of this season and finished highest scorer in the Europa League - wins the Gersnet Forum PotY vote for season 2021/22.

  

In terms of the PotY race that we were running based on match-by-match votes, Joe Aribo was the defacto winner of that with 8 MotM awards followed by John Lundstram and Calvin Bassey who had 7 and 6 awards each respectively.

 

Interestingly, Tav only won 7% of the total votes cast across the season with 12.4% votes cast for Lundstram. 11.5% votes cast for Aribo and 10.1% of votes cast for Bassey.  Lundstram was placed in the top three most often (19 times) followed by Bassey (18 times) and Aribo (17 times).  Tav was in the top three 14 times.  As such, you could also conceivably make the case for John Lundstrum as our most effective player; especially as he only played in 48 games.

 

FWIW, Tavernier won just 4 man of the match awards and could only muster 7% of votes cast so it's fascinating that people seem to have gone for his consistency over the whole season in the main final vote.  Interestingly, like Tav last season, Joe Aribo won all his 8 MotM awards by the end of January so there's no doubt the 62 appearances he played across the season for club and country may have cost him our prestigious prize as his form dipped after the African Cup of Nations.

 

Do these figures change your opinion? ;)

I think Tav is so consistent some fans probably look for someone else to vote for a lot of the time, not saying their choice was wrong. 

Tav was my player of the season by a mile due to his consistency.

I think winning individual MOTM votes has very little to do with selecting a POTY. Two different things altogether ... you could run away with POTY without ever winning a singe MOTM vote.

 

PS - thanks for doing the analysis.

Well deserved, and makes up for last season's ridiculous decision!

 

His numbers over the season, the improvement in his defending, and the massive strides he has taken in his leadership qualities, not to mention the crucial opening goal in 4 successive home European knockout rounds (will never be matched I dont think), and his top scorer in the Europa achievement meant it would be rather absurd if he didnt win our POTY.

 

The fact he wasnt even mentioned in the national players or writers awards just shows them up to be the fools and bigots we all know to be true.

 

One Goldson balls-up away from a statue and eternal legendary status at our club.
