Gross not in the top 3? One of the most productive players in the league? I find that hard to believe. Agree re Dunk, absolutely superb yet AGAIN and to my mind should be the Albion player that deserves a spot in the England squad for the summer (sadly he'll miss out).
Would have been good to see the last results too.

Muzza for me
The problem (if you can call it that) is that Dunk has been exceptional for three seasons now. Possibly four if you count him being our standout player in the Hyppia season. We expect him to be top class because it appears to be his default setting.
By contrast, nobody knew what to expect from Gross. Hence lower expectations (especially early on) meant he exceeded them more often.
I also didn't want to have to choose between Dunk & Duffy, as the partnership has been immense. If there was an option to vote for them as a pairing then it'd win every time for me.

Went for Gross - he's is the driver of everything we do going forward. Even during our poor run he was still the hardest worker on the team.
It was close though as Murray, Ryan, Dunk, Bong and Stephens have also been excellent for the majority of the time.

Gross - I think he is the only player in our team who is irreplaceable and if he got a long spell out injured we would not be anywhere near where we are now.
His goals, assists and all round play tracking back has been excellent , even Murray acknowledged he would not have so many goals if it wasnt for players like Gross. Bargain of the season

Pascal Gross.
Best player I've seen play for the Albion in my lifetime. (Vicente was the most talented, but not as effective.)
Closely followed by the rest of the squad who have all been fantastic.

I went for Bongy.
No-one ever beats him.
Who would have believed he'd be such a quality player at this level?

I guess we all have our reasons for voting for a given player - but for it to be stat-based alone? Nothing like a good enough reason for me. Even if it was, how many has Dunk stopped...?
In no particular order - Ryan, Murray, Duffy, Stephens, Propper and Dunk himself would be in my reckoning. But Dunk would come out on top.
Exceptional for three seasons (including this one where has stepped up superbly) - and still can't win it, and one would assume that someone wins Player of the Season by being exceptional. The season he should have won it (Calderon got the nod), the winner was very embarrassed (without any false modesty), citing that Dunk should have won it.
Gross had played in the top division before, Dunk hadn't. But for me, it's not about how unexpected a player's ability is - it's the actual ability itself.
Put it this way, bearing mind mind Dunk has not had a bad game for us all season, and Gross really has - several times - how many people would have voted for Gross in, say, mid-January? Seriously.

My top three would be (in no real order)
Gross
Dunk
Ryan
Tbf though, if anyone of those three or Stephens/Murray/Propper/Izzy won it then i wouldn't be disappointed.
Gun to my head though? Gross.

Massively tricky call this season for sure.
Voted Dunk. He's one of our own and has thrown his body on the line time and time again for the cause all season. Again.
Ignore the OGs. Goes with the territory.
Utmost respect

Gross doesn't make your top 6? Blimey. It IS a game of opinions, isn't it!
Where the **** is Bruno? Just what is going on here?

Opinions yes, but anyone not voting for Gross (at least in top 3) is a ****ing idiot.
