This question is now near impossible to answer. The only way I think you could get close is to try and imagine who we’d struggle most with if they weren’t there. For me it’s either Fraser, Gilmour or Ngwenya. I genuinely can’t pick one. Andrew Tod’s first full season for us too. What a team we have now. Just imagine if we can keep them together.

Can`t argue with that threesome. Gilmour and Fraser must be our two best signings for many seasons, and Ngwenya has been a revelation since his `lazarus` return from the unwanted. Andrew Tod`s first season has been wonderful, and I have high hopes for Keith Bray. Think he might get a bit of a run in the team now.

Gilmour makes it look easy - so you miss what he does sometimes
Ngwenya hasn`t played enough games - but ***** on a bike - where was that player lurking before
Tod has peaked, dipped and coming onto form again and could be that 20 goals a season every club wants
Robbie Fraser- seamless - class in a glass - POTY

Gilmour reminds me of Gary Mason. Nothing remarkable or fancy but if he wasn’t in the team you would absolutely know about it. Gets in amongst it and has that football intelligence that doesn’t always come naturally to players. A great signing.

Any one of Fraser, Gilmour, Ngwenya for me. Fraser is such a class player - pinpoint passes, takes the ball down straight away, I`m surprised The Rangers let him go, and surprised we got him .
Will probably be Tod, and I wouldn`t complain about that.

I think Fraser just shades it for me. Gilmour a close 2nd.
Tod young player of the year.
I also think Todd and Ngewnya have earned new contracts. Both have become vital for this team.

Fraser is one of the most consistent players in that team. Pretty remarkable for a 22 year old. Baffling that he’s never played for Scotland at any youth levels. Further highlights what a complete dud Scott Gemmil is.

I`d give it to Ngwenya right now. He`s been a total revelation and seems to be getting better as the season goes on. He was a rock last night and the goals he`s scored have been really decisive.
BUT
JCM - He`s had blips, but he`s been so important all season. He`s able to adjust seamlessly from a back three to a back four and he`s now our most capped u21 player.
Abdulai - A couple of bad matches, but mostly majestic. What a find. Shame he was out for a while.
Fraser - I thought he dipped for a few games after the Hibs match (in which he was immense). He seems to be back on form. He`s good going forward, but I really like it when he digs in at the back and no one gets past him.
Gilmour - Class, but also happy to dig in when needed. He`s had such a consistent season.
Amade - Hasn`t played enough to be POTY this season, but what a player.
Andrew Tod - What a breakout season. He`s forced himself into the u21s. He`s forced NL to pick him almost every week. He`s been amazing and I think there`s more to come as he gets stronger and gains experience.
Matty Todd - He`s had almost as big a transformation as Ngwenya. There have been a few moments of total brilliance, but he`s probably too inconsistent to be a real contender this year.
So that`s more than half the team that are decent picks for POTY. That`s pretty remarkable in any season. NL and the coaches have to take a lot of credit, especially for the players that have turned things around.

I think thats a fair assessment. For me probably Robbie Fraser edges it given he has played most of the season.

If you could translate your comment into proper English it would help. So many folk on here just can`t handle others expressing a different view from them.
Who are you to tell posters to shut up? The forum actually benefits from people having different opinions. More traffic means more advertising income and I think some of that goes to the club.

We’ve played 31 out of 36 league games surely that’s a large enough sample size? Seems unfair to criticise the club on this one.

There`s a practical reason why clubs organise these nominations before the end of the season. The players will disappear after the last game and some of them won`t return.
For the last time, I wasn`t criticising anyone. I was simply making the point that it can sometimes be premature to make these judgements before the season ends, especially when there is still a lot to play for. Somebody could do something that makes him a legend for life and miss out on the POTY award!

Yeah take someone like a Keith Bray for example if he now goes on and scores a hat trick in the semi final wins us all the play off matches with last minute goals then scores a hat trick in the final your still not going to give him POTY. The good thing about doing it the now is you get to look at the full season not at the end when your only focused on what happened at the end. Like when goal of the year was shown I was shocked John Tod’s goal was still in this season felt about last season because of the amount of games we’ve played since then.

The brilliant thing is the young player of the year has Tod, Abdulai, Mullen, Ngwenya, Fraser, Bray, Turley.. all starting every week (minus bray). We’ve built a great young squad who are only going to be better next year, if we can hang onto them.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on fraser
When we signed edwards he was signed to develop and sell for good profit, when he signed he was raw and had a lot of learning to do, now sadly he got a bad injury and has been kept out of action at charlton, however he wouldve 100% started most games, showcasing his abilty at a higher level
With fraser he has been signed yet again to develop, however he has a much higher ceiling and he has came to us more developed than edwards was
I think fraser can go even further than edwards has and i hope he does as he is a fantastic wee player
