Wilmot over Pearson for me. He's been here all season and although Pearson has improved the team since his arrival I think that's down more to him being the sort of player we were missing than to him playing well every week.
I would also give an honorable mention to Fox who has played competently whichever position he has been needed. Not a spectacular player but a bit like I remember Eric Skeels - doesn't rock the boat when benched and gives his best on the pitch, has never hidden when he's made a mistake and has to have guts to carry on sometimes as he must have been aware of the abuse he was getting. Also he is the most improved player over the season.

I'm struggling to pick one to be honest.
Jageilka's gone off the boil a bit the last few weeks, but considering his age he's had a really good season.
Wilmot has been fairly steady throughout, but we do need better going forward.
Laurent good at times, not at others.
Fox has just played a lot, but has been consistently average.

Tough this isn’t it. Campbells stats haven’t been too bad.
Wilmot maybe?
No one else to really choose from.

Funny season, when we've been good we've been superb, when we've been bad webe been awful.
Wilmot has gad a good season I think, Fox and Smallbone too. I don't think it should be Pearson as he's only played around 30% on games and Campbell hasn't done enough for me, Laurent was excellent but seems to be too inconsistent
For sheer consistency I think it should be Wilmot

Fox.
The only player who hasn't had a really poor game, and quite a few good one, especially after the WC. 32(5) appearances is only surpassed by Smallbone (35(5) even if Baker has the most appearances with 30(11), which BTW is ridiculous with how poor he's been.
Smallbone and Wilmot, and maybe Laurent and Campbell, deserve to be in the discussion as well. I don't give player of the season awards to players who's only been here half a year even if Pearson is our most important player by far.

Fox for me. Has been consistent and just got on with his job wherever he's been put (left back, left centre back in a three and left of a two CB partnership). He's also made a few very decent assists.
Not getting the love in for Wilmott. He's been very good of late but for the early part of the season he was making at least one massive mistake every game and was a major factor in our habit of giving away stupid goals. He might be a standout player at the moment but his early performances don't merit a consideration for player of the season for me. If he can pick off where he left of maybe next season.
Disappointment of the season has to be Baker for me. I thought we had a player there but it's all gone wrong. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the summer.

I was a teenager when Skeels was at the end of his career and seemed to be the sub every week, filling in when someone was injured (I think he played every position except gk - those were the days when numbered shirts were handed out on match day corresponding to the position you were playing and he wore them all apart from the no. 1). To me he was Mr Reliable, never spectacular or one of the best , took a back seat but always competent, never letting the team down, which is just how I see Fox and that was why I was comparing them. |

I'd say half the fanbase would disagree with you on Fox. He's frequently a liability, something you could never say about Skeels. I recently read his Simon Lowe-ghosted autubiography. It was a lot more interesting than I'd expected. Lots of interesting facts and opinions, although I don't have it near me, so I can't quote from it. It's titled "An Autobiography. What's It All About Alfie." |

We should scrap Player of the Season and just have a Most Improved Player award - the award nobody wants to win because it basically means you were crap at the start and are now slightly less crap.
Morgan Fox would be my choice.

wilmot , hoever , sterling and pearson all good.
no attackers / goal scorers ... well what a surprise !
i would give it to wilmot , because he had his work cut out covering for jag's / flint's / taylor's , lack of pace , all season long and made a pretty decent effort of the impossible job of covering for their lack of pace.

In a season of zero consistency it’s very hard to put anyone’s name forward.
Fox seems to be the only one who has been half acceptable most weeks but that’s being damned with faint praise.
I genuinely couldn’t put a cross beside anyone’s name with any conviction. What a season eh !

Also, no truly disrespect to Fox intended but…………if he truly is our best player this season this explains exactly why we are in 17th position. |

Brown for me. He's our second highest score despite having played all over the pitch, he's a key member of Neil's team and we look much better as a team when he plays.
I admit that it's not a rave review, but there are very few players who have earned a rave review this season.
Actually, a mention for Campbell, as well. He frustrates at times, but he's our top scorer and has quietly adapted to Neil's style. I never saw him fitting into the role of a wide player who does some seriously hard miles as part of both a press and a defensive unit for 90 minutes.

There is no one that jumps out as being outstanding this season. Most have had some good games but also some very bad games. No consistency whatsoever, which sums up Stoke for the past 6 seasons perfectly. Some signs of improvement came after the January influx but again not on a consistent basis. So, if I am voting for the player who has been here for the whole season, tried hardest, improved as the season has gone on and demonstrated 100% commitment then, for me, that is Ben Wilmot, with maybe Fox as runner up.
