genome Not sure how Joao isn't getting more of a shout. Look at his goals record since coming back from injury in January. 10 goals from 21.

If it weren't for those goals we'd be fcuked.

He should've got it last season, but he doesn't smile, shout or run around a lot.

But his body language is bad.


Also, many will think he hasn’t played enough.

Delighted with that. He has been solid all season and exceptional in the final couple of months. Thoroughly deserved.

Was shite for the first half of the season. Played well for the last few games and also spoke to the fans at Peterborough, so no surprise he got it.

Disagree. Not many goals were due to issues on his side of the pitch. He also had to play as an emergency centre back during the first half of the season and was anything other than shite.

I have always had an issue with his crossing and even there he improved in the final weeks of the season. One of the few players to show some real fight this season.

I'm probably being a little bit harsh, but it annoys me every year that our fans vote for the huffers and puffers over the talent. Take Yiadom out of the team and we'd have probably still finished 21st. Take Swift out of the team and we'd have definitely been relegated.

I dunno Pepe. Swifty was crucial to keeping us afloat in the first half of the season but frankly disappointing in the New Year and part of a midfield that totally failed to protect our defence too often.
There have been games where he didn’t attempt to make a tackle which was annoying to watch.

Scored lots of goals and made lots of assists

Edit - sorry you mean this calendar year. But what did Yiadom do before February other than that spell at cb? Not too much

Not this year he hasn't. He has had a quiet 2022.

But a sensational first half of the season. Still very good figures for the whole season

As pointed out we’d certainly gone down without him

Just seen your reply Houndy.
Yids was terrific at centre back last Autumn. He was also solid at the back. I can’t recall many goals conceded coming down his side of the pitch.

We conceded more goals than anyone else in the league pretty much

Admittedly not all his fault by any stretch but being a regular in a terrible defensive side and not having great goal or assist figures himself…I don’t know - a worthy second place but Swift produced more over the season

One of the big issues I have here is that posters are focusing on what Swift did in the first half of the season. As a midfielder he also had defensive duties too. I appreciate this was a far less important part of his game but he was as guilty as anyone for the ease in which opposition teams got the ball out wide into attacking positions so quickly.

Tbf Swift was still instrumental in some of our wins and other performances this year - Brum, Preston he scored and assisted, Barnsley and Blackburn played well

Not like he totally disappeared

It's hard not to give it to Swift just because of his numbers over the first half of the season. Naturally dropped off a bit over the second half of the season and a couple of injuries has made this second half of the season a bit more inconsistent from him.

No qualms with Yiadom getting it though either. Hasn't been fantastic all season, but has probably been our most consistent performer when judging over the course of the season, given the tough year we've had. Yes, part of a woeful defence, but individually he's been pretty good.
