So far, at least half a dozen of them for various reasons. But........ Since he left we knew what was missing, so he comes back with a winger each side and has contributed what was missing as if he had never been away. Murray for me.

Have gone for Knockaert, I agree it's a bit of a lazy choice.
There are a lot of players who have been exceptional this season.
I will have no complaints if the award goes to Stockdale, Bruno,Dunk,Duffy,Stephens, Baldock or Murray.
However It is hard to get past just how incredible Knockaert can be. Let's face it, he's pretty damn good on a very frequent basis.
I would argue that even in his poor games there will always be at least one bit of skill that no one else on the pitch could pull off.
On top of all that, he plays in every game, works as hard in defence as attack and always gives absolutely everything in every game

Surprised how few votes Murray has got, he's made a massive difference over this season albeit in the last few games not quite on top form

For me, it's Stockdale first choice, Knockaert second choice and Dunk third choice.
Honourable mentions to Duffy, Bruno, Stephens and Murray and a nod in the direction of Baldock, March, Bong and Sidwell who have played well in patches and individual games but player of the season is about the whole season for me. There have been spells of two/three games where certain players have disappeared but for me, Stockdale, Knockaert and Dunk have been the absolute game by game rocks who have always contributed. I accept the comments above about Knockaert in away games not producing as much but I don't think you can say there have been two consecutive games this season that he hasn't been good in at least one of them.

As others have said it's really tricky this year. AK is our match winner, Stockdale is our match saver, but Dunk has been the man to knit it all together. He's been a beast this year. Physical, committed, consistent, inspirational and those flipping 40-yard cross-field passes on a sixpence are a joy to behold. And then there was that run, surge and goal at Fulham away...
I would love it to have been Jamie but he hasn't been the best player in the squad. He has played his part in the success but he has not been the most consistent. I see someone did vote for him though.
Knockaert is without doubt the best player, but I wouldn't vote for him as player of the season, as he's still too inconsistent away from home. Baldock has made a big difference this year, if there was a 'most improved player' award, it would definitely go to him.

I am suprised Murray has not got more votes to be honest, I don't expect him to win but for someone that could well end up with 20 odd goals you would expect a higher % of the vote.
Just goes to show how well many have performed this season.

I would vote for Stockers, basically because he's got us out of the poo on many an occasion this season, springboarding for a classic Albion counter attack

Looks like many believe best player is about either playing with flair but ignoring the games Ak has not turned up and Stockers penalty saves rather than his gaffs e.g. forest where there was a game which could have been drawn or won. To me Dunk is the one who puts it altogether at the back and his crossfield balls are as good as our best midfielders. dunk makes mistakes but this season he has been outstanding.

Dunk for me as he`s been consistently good all season , AK doesn`t turn up for enough away games.
There are so many potential winners. More probably than ever before. Thinking about each of the most likely, Baldock and Stockdale seem the only two WITHOUT a little question mark:
Stockdale - strings of important saves, especially the penalties. Has won us a lot of points.
Baldock - tireless running. Scored great goals and CRUCIAL goals. Irreplaceable from our squad
Murray - top scorer, great return BUT his form hasn't been consistently at his best, IMO.
Dunk - brilliant season, BUT still SO many cards. Better than ever before but the ill-discipline is still there.
Duffy - immense, BUT will only actually play 2/3 of the season in an Albion shirt.
Stephens - statistically still our most important player, BUT can we overlook the points we dropped at the start of the season while he was 'sorting his head out'?
Knockaert - le petit magician. Sublime on his day - and it is very often his day, BUT has his (away) off days.

Closing date for vote to count is actually 6th April, player of season awarded at "Players’ Awards Dinner on Monday 24th April".. It does seem peculiar to have it before end of season.
