First of all I have to apologise for this being late. It was meant to go up yesterday at 5pm but I wasn't told that I would be out all day and wouldn't be able to do this. Anyway lets get on with the awards.
So first of all well done to Cardiff City on winning the Championship and Hull for going up on the last day. If you want to see a review of the last day of the Championship, it's at toellandbackblog.blogspot.com
There will be a third, second and first place in every award.
To start with the main award, Player of the Year. In third, his goals helped steered his team into the play offs. The top scorer in the Championship with 30 goals. Glenn Murray. In second, his goals have turned his side away from relegation to League 1. 28 goals means his £8 million price tag was a good decision. Jordan Rhodes just misses out on the award. In first, he also helped Palace get into the play offs, he was also voted joint best Football League player, Wilfred Zaha had deserved his move to Manchester United.
For young player of the year, in third, his goals and assists helped Blackpool to also fight of any threat of relegation. The award goes to Thomas Ince. In second he introduced himself after a goal against Oxford. It is super Leeds' very own Sam Byram. In first, it once again goes to Wilfred Zaha.
For best underrated player of the year. In third, his saves helped Cardiff to the league. He has never been seen however no one sees him as a good keeper. Third goes to David Marshall. In second, he was a player who helped Peterborough almost complete the impossible escape. He has been a great player for them and filled the boots of George Boyd. Second is Dwight Gayle. In first, after Blackpool decided they didn't want him. His goals for Palace has proven he still has talent. In first is Kevin Phillips.
The final award is manager of the year. In third, after leaving Palace, he revived Bolton's season and almost got them into the play offs. Bolton's Dougie Freedman. In second, since returning to Forest, he helped them go from the bottom half of the table to a play off battle. Billy Davies. In first, Hull were a mid tabled side last year, their manager has changed their fortunes and they will be playing in the Premier League, this award goes to Steve Bruce.
