As much as people were saying he deserved player of the year I think a lot of that was based on recent form - which has been superb. At the beginning he was a little shaky.
Da Silva got my vote because he is just so bloody consistent. His touch is spot-on, he just manages to get in the way and his passing is decent. Better in the air than you'd think.
Going back to Amos though - I'd take him back in a heartbeat as he's really impressed and looks like he fits in well and enjoys it with us
16 grand a week at Bolton with another year left on his contract. Can see him being at another side next season unless we go up. Far too good for third tier football and can't see us paying him that much a week with us.

He won't be getting that sort of money again wherever he goes.

How do you know that?
Exactly. He could go to a Premier league club as a number 2 (like Hamer at Leicester) and easily pick up that sort of money.
Would love him back next season, great keeper for us but can’t see it in League One unfortunately. I mentioned to my brother on the way out of the game yesterday that he could do a job in the PL and (whisper it) Palace need a keeper. Really hope I am wrong but it genuinely would not surprise me.
He has been superb and no I I don't think he will sign for us . Someone like Stoke might fancy him if Butland departs. On the back of the season he has just had Bolton may even get a fee .
When we signed him I was happy despite the fact he had just had bad spells at Bolton and Cardiff on loan . Unlike Tom Heaton , Sam Johnstone and Shrewsbury's Dean Henderson, Ben made first team appearances for Manchester United . Also Lee Turner had worked with him for the Trotters .
He has been our best keeper since the Premier League in my view and his message shows class .
As for us there are plenty of experienced League One quality keepers available on frees . For example Readings Jonathan Bond who spent the year at Peterborough on loan , Mark Oxley at Southend and Colchester's Sam Walker . I always liked Northamtons Richard O'Donnell who might be worth a bid .
Would like to see us move for Jon McLaughlin, 30 years old and knows the division.
Not keen on taking goalkeepers on loan as we are starting from scratch every season trying to build the relationship and understanding with the defence.
He really wanted to win the playoffs and it showed especially with that save at the end of the Shrewsbury game. Would love to see us sign him. Whatever happens though good luck Ben!

So let's offer him something sensible to keep him at the Valley for the next few years.

Good luck Ben and thanks for the memories .
Plus he entertained my missus with his stretches at the only game she has come to this season with me.
Sign him up whatever the cost!
