Geordie_once_removed Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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.

Kilcline Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are people who know fuck all about football by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Has to be my player of the season. Phenomenal. Never gives up. A warrior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) 2 hours ago, Smal said: 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. 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.

midds Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 200% player of the season. Not even in question which is 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).

The Butcher Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Burn made the goal with his run, leaving Gusto in no mans land. Absolutely love that he made that run. Another CB would've moved back towards his own goal. Cracking attacking mentality. Love owt like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Is it fair to say the Botman injury last year rescued his career? It was getting sad seeing him left-back starting to get torn apart by some pretty average RWs and mistakes creeping in. Ever since he's went back to LCB when Botman got the long layoff he's been absolutely outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
