I think I got everything Championship related

Would absolutely love for Farke to win, but tbh regardless of whether Ipswich are promoted or qualify for the playoffs, the award should 100% go to McKenna
Rosenior’s done a fine job this season, but can think of multiple better candidates so not fully sure how they landed on him for the third spot
Azyerr on
Put Rosenior in manager of the season like we wouldn’t notice sneaky little bastards
FIJIBOYFIJI on
Only real snub I see is not having one of Cifuentes or Rohl instead of Rosenior
For me the choices seem fairly obvious: McKenna, Szmodics, Gray
-W-A-W-A-W- on
How’s Rosenior snuck in there over like the 6 other managers that deserve it more than him? They’re 10th ffs.
Boris_Ignatievich on
i think farke has done brilliantly, he inherited a shitshow and we’re on for a massive massive points total (whether thats enough to go up or not). but mckenna is doing this with basically a league one squad, its obviously his award even if ipswich don’t win another game.
player i think is really close. can see arguments for all three, i expect it gets given to whichever of Summerville and KDH finish higher in the league. but szmodics doing this well in a team that hasn’t had a great season is still mad impressive.
not watched enough of norwich or brum to know how good rowe/james have been but archie has been outstanding, hope he wins at least one of the awards he’s up for

Where’s Doug king’s award for releasing all of these retro cov shirts and taking all of my money?

McKenna

What is Liam Rosenior doing here btw haha

Mckenna gets it for me but disappointed not to see Mark Robins in over Rosenior

I think it’s fairly obvious that it’ll be:
Mckenna

Big difference for us from last year, considering in League One we had nominations in manager, young player, club engagement and a few others I think.
Really happy for Issaka though. I wish he had been given more game time throughout the season so far, but I think it’s too late in this season to risk it now. The few times he made appearances though he looked really good. Hopefully a good one for the future

Rosenior as Manager of the Year is a wild, wild pick. For me they have underperformed.
dwaynepipes on
Swap Rosenior for Corberan
CC-W on
Player of the season should be between Summerville and KDH, Szmodics is good but he is nowhere near their level. Obviously im biased but Summerville should be winning it since he is the best player in the league

Just give Jimmy Dunne his goal of the season award already!

How have they overlooked Darren Moore, who clearly deserves to be shortlisted in both the Championship and League One? He’s been robbed
FloppedYaYa on
Rosenior has done a good job but top 3? No chance. Where’s Corberan? Martin and Enzo would both probably be more deserving too. And Cifuentes.
CheeseMakerThing on
Getting a team that has been in absolute turmoil off the pitch until very recently and went through a major injury crisis for a good portion of the season (no fit strikers at all for a good two months and 1 fit centre half for a long while as well) to be 5th for most of the season and not be nominated ahead of Rosenior is a bit of an omission, personally. Obviously McKenna deserves it but Carlos not being nominated just seems like a massive oversight. Cifuentes and Roehl deserve a shout out as well.
Also, not quite sure what we’ve done to be community club of the year? Does having no money and being two weeks away from administration but not shuttering the Albion Foundation count?

Rosenior is laughable
Underscore_Blues on
Glad JJ is there, he’s been played out of position many times and still has 8 goals this season, now had 100 appearances for us, and will only turn 20 years old after the season ends.
jdflyer on
Any idea how we innovated? I don’t think moving to cashless concessions is enough for the nomination.

Bit early for this isn’t it?

Leif Davis deserves a shout for player of the season 16 assists as a left back and scoring a few important goals aswell

Rosenior nominated instead of corberan is a joke
OBWanTwoThree on
Rosenior over Cifuentes, Corberan and Rohl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rosenior deserves to be there even less than Lowe. And we haven’t even got a very good squad
Mauve078 on
Cifuentes has picked up 1.46 ppg since taking over a team who were averaging 0.57 when he took over. That’s Playoff form with £0 spent.
Rohl is averaging 1.24 ppg with a team who averaged 0.27ppg when he took over.
West brom have been comfortably in 5th all season with £0 spent.
Bulut took over a side who only avoided the drop technically to readings points deduction and who had lost their 3 best players, couldn’t spend any money in the summer and has taken them closer to the playoffs than relegation.
Rosenior has taken hull from 15th to 10th and has gone from 11 points from the playoffs to 8th. Hull have the 2nd highest net spend in the league.
I also think it’s useless having a manager of the year shortlist before the season has even ended. (Hull could finish bottom half and Leeds could finish 4th and lose the playoffs).
(Caveat: I don’t think Bulut should win or be nominated for MOTS, he is just an example of someone who you could look at as improving a team more than Rosenior)
iratelemur on
Excuse me but why is Richardson not up for manager of the season?
edn- on
Rosenior is a fair shout imo, people overlook just how shit the football was that we were playing until he took over. It’s fine saying we’ve not moved up many places since last year etc but I don’t think that’s why he’s been nominated.
We’ve dropped off massively due to not having a striker for like 3 months but I’m not sure that’s entirely Roseniors fault as we’ve still been creating chances, it’s just no one in the team is a natural finisher.
If anyone but McKenna wins it’s a robbery though.
Thebritishlion on
These shortlists always come out so early
GeoGaming on
Feel like these always come too early.
For me Manager is McKenna and YPOTY is Rowe or Gray but POTY? Surely that depends on Promotion?
If we go up winners it’s hard to argue the impact that KDH had on that with his input. Same can be said for Summerville. Szmodics is on there as the “he’s scored the most goals” (rightfully)
ElvishMystical on
Kind of surprised by Liam Rosenior.
Not surprised by Kieran McKenna or Daniel Farke.
I also feel David Wagner is worth a shout. Norwich started strong, slumped, and are now in pole position for 6th. Some clubs have gone through three managers for similar fortunes.
DrShaftmanPhD on
I might be a bit biased, but I feel like Adam Armstrong would at the very least be a nominee. Most g/a in England or something along those lines?

If anyone but McKenna gets manager of the season then it’s complete bollocks…. Honestly think Ipswich will have a game on keeping him
