Scunthorpe United: Nominations invited for Telegraph Player of the Season trophy
WITH Scunthorpe United's season drawing to a close this Saturday, it's now time to make your choice for the Scunthorpe Telegraph Player of the Season trophy.
It has been a bitterly disappointing campaign for Iron fans with their team relegated from the Championship and winning only five times at Glanford Park.
-
Player of the year? Sam Togwell applauds Scunthorpe fans.
But there will still be some players who have stood out amidst the doom and gloom.
Last year Scunthorpe Telegraph readers handed defender David Mirfin the honour.
However, with injury hindering his season, there could be a chance for another name on the trophy.
The club have used a total of 37 players this season, including 11 loanees – all the way from midfielder Sam Togwell, who, with 33, has started the most Championship games for United, to Trent McClenahan and Paris Cowan-Hall, who each made just one league appearance from the substitutes' bench.
Michael O'Connor meanwhile, is the club's leading scorer this season with nine goals, which include penalties in each of the last two games.
But it is your choice who will collect this year's award.
Send your vote by email, marked SUFC player of the season, to arrive no later than noon on Friday, to: sport@scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk.

“I already tried to post on here. This is the 1st season in a while where no player deserves to win a player of the year award.
Instead there should be a:
Worst loan signing of the year award?
Biggest southern wimpy girlboy can't act award?
Best ball watcher award?
Player most glad to see the back of award?”

“This is the 1st season in along time where no player actually deserves to win a player of the year award. How about they change the awards to 1.Worst loan singning?
2.Biggest Southern Wimpy Girlboy?
3.Best Ball Watcher?
4.Softest Tackler?
5.Player you were most happy to see leave?
C'mon we have to have a laugh otherwise we will only cry!”

“Don't bother awarding the trophy. Nobody deserves it this season. Things are that bad that London and South East supporters gave their trophy to Josh Lillis (no offence but performances for Rochdale shouldn't count). I think the Irish Iron also decided against giving an award as well.”

“I have to agree with most posts on this. I think the Telegraph should vote for the consistent 3,500 fan base for putting up with loan players who couldn't give a damn and players from lower league cast offs that should never be in the CC.
I like the "gib" of AK and hope he can do a Norwich and get us back up. We do however need the boards commitment as to where the club is going and which league they want the club to play. I commend Mr Whartons financial prudence, some people scream for him to go. If he goes then where does the financial backing come from, I can't see any money bags on the sidelines waiting to jump in.
Its a tall order but if they can get promoted next season and get the ground up to speed then I can see some interest from outside investment.
