Four contenders as I see it: Cullen, Phillips, Sarr, Taylor. I could make solid arguments for all of them but it's goals that win matches so I think Taylor will get it. Personally, given he wasn't first choice at the start of the season but is now immovable, I've got to go for Phillips.
I agree it could be all 4 but I have to vote for Taylor.
The reason being if Sarr doesn't play we have Pearce and are fine.
If Phillips doesn't play we have Maxwell and should be fine, as we were with Steer.
When Cullen missed a large part of the season, we weren't quite as good, but overall did fine.
When Taylor was out it's been difficult and if Taylor got injured on Saturday and was out until July, who thinks we'd have a chance of promotion ?
Taylor edges it on performance and is undoubtedly our most important player, bearing in mind the make up of our squad.
If you don't agree think about RHF back in for Taylor when his loan at Bromley ends.
Anyone else think it's too early to really decide yet? There's still 6 crucial games left as well as the playoffs. I'd say Cullen right now but that could easily change if he has a bad last 6 games and Taylor keeps scoring and fires us in to the top 2. Don't know why these votes are done before the most important part of the season takes place.
Taylor For me. Only player we really can’t do without
Same for me although I thought you might have voted for Purrington mate
I was going to then you pointed out he is not a steady 7, feel cheated
You know what will happen now he'll either score or get an assist for the winner tomorrow or make a goal saving stop to secure 3 points and be MOM with a 9/10

OK. Let's look at the logistics of taking votes at The Valley.
The only remaining home games before the last of the season ( the day before the dinner takes place) are tomorrow and on Easter Monday. Therefore they are the only opportunities left to us to "service" (oooer, missus) those fans who don't have the means to vote online, or indeed would rather do so in person.
I'm not totally sure when online voting will be closed but apart from the reasonably easy task of counting the votes, the trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places have to be engraved ready to present on Sunday 5th May. So I would expect the closing date for ALL voting to be a week or so before the final weekend of the season.
Hope that helps....but remember this is a poll for fans' player of the YEAR ie taking into consideration the players' contributions throughout the current season.
Really wanted to vote for Aribo because we are a much worse team when he’s not on the pitch. He’s our most exciting player, things can happen when he has the ball.
I might have voted for Karlan if he had still been here and continued his scoring streak...
But can’t deny Taylor’s importance to where we are in the league table. We would be mid table at best without him this season.
Phillips - although he has not played as many games as other contenders he has been on the bench which for a goalkeeper must be more difficult to stay positive alert and learn from the other 'keeper plus being ready to step in when needed. Dillon did all these things. As it is important to score goals it is also important not to concede, Dillon has done everything that could be expected of him and done it to a very high standard, plus he is one of our own.
Taylor by a country mile for a variety of reasons, which is just as well because i think we’d be hard pressed to pick just one player of the year from the rest otherwise
For me Taylor is a clear winner but not by a distance if that makes sense. Mind you if Bowyer was a registered player, and appeared in a match for 30 seconds I would vote for him, he has worked a miracle.

Cullen
Sarr
Bielik
Taylor
So voted Cullen, but will vote for someone else if we are doing votes outside the stadium again

I shall ask @killerjerrylee to confirm this though.

VOTE DILLON
Aribo - 2
Bauer- 3

2 - Bauer
3 - Sarr
Phillips would possibly have squeezed Sarr out if he played another 5 games, same of Cullen, Aribo or Bielik.
