Dan Burn

[Pata]

Think it's between Burn, Tonali and Murphy for player of the season. Harsh on Isak but he's been poor for months now.

Other players have had peaks and troughs, the odd bad performance despite being brilliant overall, no one has been as consistent as Dan Burn, he's been absolutely fantastic this season.

 

yeah, think only Hall was on a par with him until the injury. Burn probably still edges it because... well...

 

[M4]

One of the biggest testaments you can give to his season and the level he's got himself up to is that in this Champions League end of season decider, he's not only put in a man of the match performance, but it isn't really much of a surprise.

Yup, he was trying to will us to the finish at times today. I’m like one more goal or sliding block away from starting a GoFundMe for a BDB statue.

Loved the close up of him before Bruno’s goal, yelling “Just give me the fucking ball!” 😂

feels like ages ago but Isak was poor for the first 10 or so games of the season as well imo. Some of our performances back then were honking and he was a pretty big part of that, especially first 6 games where he only managed 1 goal.

He’s been our best. Always turns up. Plays better than he should. Passionate, brings other players up around him, goal in the final, threat always, doesn’t hide

[Justdoesit]

Absolute legend, I don’t know if I have a bit of rose tint in this view, but I feel he has greatly improved with the ball at his feet. I noticed a couple of quick forward passes today. 
 

My player of the season, for sure.

I think that I'm in love with him. He's fantastic and I know a lot on here adore Schare but BIG DAN BURN has held that defence together all season. He's fantastic.

I've ordered this season's shirt with Burn on the back. It'll go right into my top 3 favourite shirts, the others being my original 1995/96 shirt and my 2011/12 shirt with Northern Rock on the front and Coloccini on the back.

Wish I could find it but after Southampton at home on the first day I said something along the lines of he embodied what it was like to be one of us with his performance putting everything on the line to get us over the line.

 

He's subsequently basically maintained that level all season. Immense.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He was really good today, like really good.

Some (a lot of khackas) thought we should have replaced him 14 years ago.  These are people who know fuck all about football by the way.

Aye that was a great capture of him for a few seconds, he wanted it so much 

[The Fountain]

It's Roy of the Rovers stuff. The lad is living the dream 

[toon25]

Has to be my player of the season. Phenomenal. Never gives up. A warrior.

[CPL]

Easily player of the season for me for numerous reasons.

 

Consistent in the heart of the defence.

 

Stepping up in the biggest game this season.

 

Being a leader on and off the pitch. 

 

** Filling in for Botman when he probably wouldn't be in the first XI when everyone is fit. 

 

Hard to drop him next season even when Botman is fit. 

[nemtizz]

I remember thinking he should never play CB again after a couple horror shows in 23/24. Turns out all he needed was a run there towards the end of the season. Hall would have challenged had he not got injured but Burn is easily the most consistent, and to a high level.

 

Off the top of my head I can't recall a stinker from him. City and VIlla away were more tactical issues than anything else.

[Displayname]

Probably our most consistant player, but Tonali has made a little more impact since he found his place imo.

Wouldnt mind either lf them getting player of the season with Murphy and Isak coming a little behind.

Our massive win streaks when we are simply cruising through games are usually allways when he is in form. Just tells you how much his form matters. Yes, we've been doing allright lately, but nowhere near how we played in those winning streaks. It's a pretty high bar to match, mind.

Feels sly as fuck not giving player of the year to anyone other than the bloke who's got 24 goals but I honestly think Burn edges it this season. He's been an absolute mountain back there

If you asked Forest fans, I don't think Wood is even in the top 3. 

[black_n_white]

Simply has to be Dan Burn.

[toon25]

You know it means the fucking world to him too, which makes it all the more special

Think it has to be Burn for all the reasons that have been said. Hall was probably mine prior to his injury, but Burn's been a colossus for us all season long, even in the bad times.

[Heron]

200% player of the season. Not even in question whichnis radge given some players are comfortable 7s throughout.

 

Only player to perform as consistently well was Hall and he hasn't been fit for weeks now. Burn has played at about an 8+ for all but like one game (I think).
