I voted for Jackson for all he's done for the club over the years.
Yet wont complain if Holmes wins it, especially after his interview against Sheffield United when he said that he runs into the ground every week because it wouldnt sit right with his own conscience if he didnt (And you saw that against MK Dons too)
I get the JJ protest vote and I was tempted but I voted for Ricky in the end as from the few games I've been to he has been a genuine bright spark amongst the chuff.
Not a protest vote in any way. It's simply a thank you for his years of service. It will probably be the last season he is really involved or plays regularly and it's right we show our respect for him. In my view he deserves it as much as anyone else this year for his commitment, the number of different roles he's been asked to play and the way he has chipped in with goals and kept performances just when needed. Like our most recent win when he hadn't played for ages. His leadership on the pitch was the difference in my opinion.
The man's held this club together and in my view deserves to be on the honours board.

This.
As good as Holmes has been I reckon he'll be off to Sheff Utd in the summer.
Would be great to have JJ listed as a recipient of the award after his contribution to the club through this challenging period
I've only seen a handful of games, but from those and from what I've read here I think it can only be Ricky Holmes can't it?
spot on he is well beyond any of the others, had we had him and Lookman in the side together...uninjured we'd have done far better this season in my opinion.
Wouldn't it just be fitting if Jacko won this after announcing his retirement for the end of the season. And gives a passionate acceptance speech on the pitch before the last game of the season, which (along with the protests) gets the crowd going and he goes on the score the goals that keep us up!
Having said that I don't think he's retiring. I reckon he will be registered as player coach for another year and he will fill in when needed.

I genuinely believe that side would have done better than KR's sides.
Would have Fox over Page / Chicksen / Dasilva all day long.
He's far better than all of them (Dasilva will probably be better but doesnt have the experience at the moment) - Also Pearce like Teixeira is left footed (Hence why we wont see them in Defence together) so wouldnt have him on the right of the Defence
JJ all day long, man deserves a statue after the way he has conducted himself last 3 years, he's just about the last thing I'm clinging onto. I know this is 'Player' of the year but to me, at the moment, goes wider than ability and game time.

Holmes and Lookman in central midfield?
The spacing was meant to show them playing wider with Solly and Fox ( @ForeverAddickted 's suggestion) ahead of Pearce etc more alongside but wide of Ulvestadt.
These votes are often dictated by fans personal opinions on players that they have an emotional attachment to as opposed to players' performance on the pitch, see JBG coming third in 2015/16 despite providing the most assists in the whole division that year.

Holmes for me.
But it's called "player of the year", not "player of the year by on pitch performance". There can be, and are, often other factors than individual stats taken into consideration.

This is the only POTY vote

Imagine this side:
Pearce Bauer Texeira
Solly------------Page
Ulvestad
Holmes---------Lookman
Magennis Ajose

Player of the Year (clubman): Jacko
When does voting on the Manager of the Year take place?
Then play Magennis just behind Ajose.
Bauer Texeira Pearce
Solly----Ulvestad----Fox
Holmes------------Lookman
Magennis
Ajose
(it works on FM so must be true that it works
But in all seriousness... Got to be Jacko
Holmes for me.
Jackson can't even make the top 10 in the CL stats !
If there's another vote for the player who has given outstanding service to Charlton, then Jackson would of course win that.
