Administrator Stan 18,349 Posted March 26, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 26, 2019 Still will never understand the nominations for these awards being done before the end of the season. Nevertheless, Billy Sharp, Che Adams and Teemu Pukki are the nominees. Pukki wins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted March 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 26, 2019 Too early, as per usual. I just cannot get my head around how they can possibly do this before the season finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,200 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Maupay easy second behind Pukki, 20 goals and double the assists two on that list have. Not to mention he’s been involved in more than just assisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,824 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 These awards are always bullshit. Pukki has the stats in his favour but has he really been the best player in the league this season? Really? Yes his job is to score goals, which granted, he has done. You cannot ask more from a striker. But Norwich have scored goals from all over. I don't think he is the be all and end all for their success. And half his goals will be a combination of penalties and tap in's. What's so great about that? Statistically it makes you the best, but performance wise I'd wholeheartedly disagree. Also on another note, how does Pablo Hernandez not get in that Top 3 I'll never know. Without Pablo we would be nowhere. He is our biggest creative threat on the pitch and arguably one of the best playmaker's in the division. He consistantly has performed very highly. And he's doing this at 34 years of age. Some said he was finished and he's proving class is permanent. But because someone at Birmingham has scored more goals, he is better? Get in the sea.

No penalties scored by Pukki this season. 9 game-winning goals (the most in the division) showing that he does score key & important goals. Anyway, I agree with you really. There are loads of players you could make a case for, Hernandez being one of them more so than Adams who's only really scored a lot in the past few months. Before that it was relatively inconsistent. Along with Hernandez, you could have players like Dack, Maupay (as @Danny said), Benrahma (although same argument could be used for Adams where it's only in last few months he's improved and made more of an impact); Bowen who has played well for a young player and helped Hull improve after their poor start; Jay Rodriguez, Tammy Abraham who have both consistently scored throughout the season.

True Blue 971 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Pukki takes this easily, 24 goals plus 10 assists is incredible even tough Norwich has been excellent. However i'd like Sharp to get it he is just so cool haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impeccable timing from Pablo on Saturday to remind the league what a farce it is he hasn't been voted amongst the nominee's for the award. Two goals and grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck after twice losing to inspire our club to keep going. What a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots 607 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Villa will be deducted 9 points for fielding more than 11 players in the last few games, Che Adams is still in Tyrone Mings back pocket apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
