Highgate Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Clarke for me. He's been consistently good and has a great attitude, particularly for a loan player. Not too many players have played a full season, so the choice was somewhat narrowed. I think it should only be about performances on the pitch. Trying to assess a player's impact on the rest of the squad, as in Rooney's case, is guesswork really. Form is every changing for football teams, and while it makes perfect sense that Rooney's presence helped those around him, who knows how much of our improvement in the second half of the season was down to Rooney or how much of it was due to other factors. The real highlight of the season for me has been the emergence of Sibley, Bird and Knight. They have been a breath of fresh air, and to be honest I think another full season in the Championship will do all of them the world of good. They should be ready to debut in the Premier League for the Rams in the 2021/2022 season, all going well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Between Lawrence and Clarke. Two games more before I vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I like the American approach to this, calling it the MVP (most valuable player). In that debate, there really isn't one. It's Rooney, end of. Yes, he's laboured the last few games but our march up the table was, in very large part, down to him. However if we are taking the player of the season, being the most consistent player over all the season then that rules out Sibley, just because of the lack of games. It also rules out players who you *think* would have been great in a different position. (cough: Forsyth) It has to come down to performances, not conjecture. Waghorn whilst being our top scorer has been average to put it kindly. He's hardly terrorised defences, like say Vydra did. Clarke started very well, then dropped off and has now since bounced back and been utterly reliable. He's definitely a candidate. Similarly, Lawrence started off on fire, then had the awful time that shall remain nameless, but then has clearly shown his worth to the team after being a dick and getting sent off, just when we needed him the most. Should that remove him from consideration? Maybe, but only if you're viewing it from the MVP perspective. One of the things that Lawrence had been accused of is that he doesn't always make tackles when tracking back. True, but more to the point, he always tracks back, unlike many Rams players over the years. Lawrence works harder than his face/demeanor would suggest. He is a trojan imho. I don't think Wisdom has played enough games at a high level to get *my* vote. We have to be careful of recency bias in which we value stuff that has happened lately (and so is easier to recall) over older stuff. Over almost a year, has he played enough high quality football to be considered? I doubt it. Bird has been good, although I'm not in the camp that says he's getting better every game. He's definitely better than he was to begin with and I strongly believe he will be outstanding, but he ebbsa and flows as you would expect from a kid his age. But, we are voting on games this season, not potential and not based on 'but he's only a teenager' Nobody won an Olympic Gold Medal because even though they were only 0.1 seconds slower than the winner they were 10 years younger. It has to be on performance. Sooooo, I voted for Lawrence, but I'd be ok with Rooney or Clarke, perhaps Bird. Anybody else would be a stretch for me, personally.

IlsonDerby Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Bird for me. From the moment Bielik got sent off and he still managed to control the midfield on his own just before new year he hasn’t looked back. Was gutted when the rumours of Chelsea did the rounds.

May Contain Nuts Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Still Clarke, BUT ...if it's announced that Chris Martin hasn't signed a new contract and is to leave, then I'm changing my vote to Chrissy as a bittersweet send-off.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 On 12/07/2020 at 13:02, David said: I went for Rooney. Not on his own individual performances but the impact he’s had on our season has been unbelievable, without him I don’t think we would even be looking at the top 6. Maybe that’s wrong, not what the award should be about, but I really don’t see anyone that has played consistently well throughout the full season to warrant the award which sounds incredibly harsh but that’s how I see it. Oh and if anyone is wondering who voted Hamer, it was resident wind up merchant @bigbadbob although you may have already guessed and predicted that already. Same. Rooney influence on the post new year form is the reason for me. Waghorn’s commitment to the cause I admired also in a more difficult position to play than Clarke.

So bloody true, credit to the youngsters though for their efforts and showing such promise. Rooney Consistently good and a big impact but only played half the season. Waggers ,Lawrence hot and cold. Worst goalkeeping season i can remember. Marriott a spectator most of the season. not sure anyone worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I voted Lawrence but think any of Clarke, Waggy, Martin, Rooney or Bird could win it. Votes will be well spread out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are rewarding the best performances in a Derby shirt over the whole season. The best player over the season should win it. End of. For Tomori last season and Clarke this season, their commitment to the cause could not be questioned - if you doubt Clarke's commitment, just check out his reaction to his own goal against Leeds in what was a nothing game.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I gave my vote to waggy. But Clarke and Bird were both very close. Sorry Wayne, that mistake Vs Cardiff...not forgiven yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
