There wasn’t one this season. The youngest regular first team player is Solly March who is 23. (24 in July) He won it last year. So not exactly a competitive field.
They had a Players Player which effectively replaced it.

I think Dunk won best own goal for the fifth consecutive year.
I don't see that 'YPotY' MUST be confined to first team players?

Yep. They could have had a u23 player voted by Simon Rusk I guess. But they didn’t.

It shouldn’t be, but it always has done for some reason.

If the first team squad had a crop of first team regulars who were 19-22. They’d have had one. But we don’t.
Again - that needn't follow.
If amongst our U18s / U23s we have a player that is performing well in games, and progressing beyond where their age suggests, then dishing out an award would seem entirely appropriate. Its not as though it costs anything to do it.
And FWIW Molumby, Hutchinson, Connolly, Tilley and Sanders all HAVE been involved in first team squads this season.

I was just about to say the same thing. What stopped them from doing that? The Development Squad is just as big a part of the club as the first team squad in its way.
