For me its got to be either Gudmundsson or Cousins
In January I would have said Gudmundsson no question but Cousins has been key in this recent run and has also been decent all season.
After them, maybe Ben Haim or Henderson
As for young player it has to be Gomez, although to be honest I think Fox has been unfairly treated by fans and has been a lot better than you'd think if you didn't go to games and just looked on CharltonLife for your opinions.

He never stops trying, yes he makes errors, and doesn't have much of a boot, but he is not one to duck his responsibility on the pitch and tries to make a difference.
And I agree he has been brilliant but I think its a bit unfair on the others to vote for Tony Watt, having said that I didn't mind Poyet being POTY last year. I just think Gudmundsson or Cousins deserve it more, but there's still plenty of time left for me to change my mind.
1. In terms of the sheer transformative effect he's had, Watt must have a shout, especially if he keeps it up.
2. Ben Haim has been a rock and real class.
3. Henderson's return showed just how important he is.
4. Cousins for all the reasons mentioned above by others.
Near Misses:
1. Igor - just too many bad performances albeit while left alone up front to get thumped and with negligible service until TW appeared on the scene.
2. Gudmundson - brilliant but goes missing too often.
Young POTY - Gomez if Cousins gets POTY, Cousins if someone else does. Mind you TWWW is only 21 or 22!
very tight for me at the moment. Ben Haim for being very consistent all season , cousins since he's been in the middle and played pretty well all season and JBG for he's fantastic goals.
But could make a good case for Cousins too
I go for Cousins because of hie professionalism and attitude as much as his ability. Does his job without fuss wherever he is asked to play and never hides, moans or displays anything less than total commitment.
Third choice is more difficult. Perhaps Henderson if he continues his recent run of form.
Gudmundsson ... Has had an impact this season yet has struggled with a few injuries and whilst he's scored some memorable goals he does go missing in matches
Henderson ... Had he been ever present in goal then could have seen him getting it but injuries have again been against him.
Ben-Haim ... Put a National Holiday ahead of Charlton so instantly ruled out, jokes aside he's the most dangerous opponent to Cousins getting the award, always enjoy his attacking run, nice and steady rock in Defence.
Other notables
Vetokele ... Went on too much of a dip in scoring, had he been on around 20-goals for the season then maybe
Watt ... Am sorry but you need to have been with Charlton for a whole season to get the trophy thats why its Player of the Year not Best Player over 10-matches
Solly ... After taking the award twice I believe that people's expectations of Solly have been too high this season, although he's not been good enough for the award
Bulot ... No joke, reckon had he not been injured, had he been here instead of at the African Cup of Nations and had he shown the form of recent weeks then he could have been a dark horse, as it is... he wont be
Cousins has been good recently but couldn't trap a bag of wet cement 10 games ago.
