My Choice, what’s yours?

Tue Mar 22, 2022 5:53 pm

Cardiff City player of the season.

Lots of Cardiff players have made an impression, but there has been what has felt like a perpetual turnover of staff.

Ryan Giles made an immediate impact, but was recalled too soon. Tommy Doyle and Cody Drameh look like stars in the making, but only joined in January and are sadly passing through.

Even the senior players have been in and out of the side. Take Marlon Pack, who was largely an ever-present and has played the sixth highest amount of minutes this season. He was seemingly dropped a few weeks back and can no longer get anywhere near the squad.

It ends up being a process of elimination and when you do that exercise, you are left with four names; Alex Smithies, Aden Flint, Perry Ng and my choice, Mark McGuiness for player of the season for City, most consistent.

He was my second choice actually.
If he’d been here all season it would have been Wintle.

In a season that's been a struggle and the line up has changed regularly it's got to be Aden Flint for me 33 Appearances and 5 goals.

Very hard to disagree with this :thumbup:

I think Tommy Doyle is our best player but has only played about 15 games. Over the whole season I’ve been impressed with McGuinness and Ralls the most.

Tbh out of the ones who’ve played regularly there’s one or two candidates. If the current team had been playing all season (hypothetical I know) I’d go for Drameh

This was done recently on the whole squad. It was too early then and it's too early now...

Ninian27 has enough votes to influence the result though, if you know what I mean... ;) :roll: :laughing6:

So after all that, you created this thread from this source (below) and made like it was your own work...? :? :oops:

Thought I'd read this before. You've just cut and paste the Wales Online piece from 2 days ago (paragraph 6) and changed the player. Scott Johnson won't be happy. If anyone else wants to read the full piece it was nicked from, here's the link:

He's got previous history of this. He'll be nicking stories from When Saturday Comes next and passing them off as his own. Google is not his friend.

We'll be lucky yo see any of the out of contract players next season..
Reason - The players, we want to keep will be offered higher wages and signing on fees elsewhere.

This is really difficult this year, not because we haven't got any quality but because it's been a game of two halves, pre-January and post-January.

I've never got the Ralls "love-in" but I accept I'm in the minority there (no pace, poor tackling technique, few goals, doesn't dominate, etc.), so I'm really struggling if we're only looking at performances over the whole season.

If that's the main criteria then I would go for Ng. His move to CB has transformed our ability to actually play from the back and his 3 assists (Ralls only has 5 from midfield) is pretty impressive.

However, if we're looking at the best performances in the games they've played I'd go for Drameh or Wintle.

Apart from the Barnsley game, Drameh has been outstanding and he's the first player to get me on the edge of my seat as soon as he gets the ball, for years. I don't believe the chatter about him coming back next season. He's good enough for the Prem now and he will get better offers. I hope I'm wrong but in the meantime I'm just going to enjoy watching him for the rest of the season.

Wintle is simply the player we've needed in CM for many a season. He's deceptively sharp, hardly wastes a ball and, since he's been playing, I'm struggling to think of an occasion when the opposition CM dominated us. I would argue he's probably the one player we can't afford to get injured.
