Head says Burstow
Heart says Kanu

Has to be Kanu given he's scored almost 40 goals this season.

Probably would've been Burstow, but no interest in voting for a Chelsea player who's been poor for the past 2.5 months.

SouthWest_Addicks

Can’t vote but it should be Burstow. Must have played 20+ time for the first team which for any 18 year old is incredibly impressive. However, I very much doubt he will win because of his transfer to Chelsea.

Not in Valley Gold but I think Mason Burstow has dipped because of his move, Deji has been impacted by injury at the latter end of a season that started very well, Tyreece Campbell might be a less familiar name to some, but he is a fast wide player, with excellent tricks technique and close control, a player who unlocks defences and has numerous assists. These qualities have been sustained throughout the whole season.
Daniel Kanu is a goalscorer who actually scores. In another season we would be waxing more lyrically over the potential of the good and promising Miles Leaburn, but the presence of Kanu overshadows him considerably.
If you’re  a maths fan, Kanu’s numbers speak for themselves, but if you prefer Art Galleries to algebra then Campbell is high in your consideration.

Kanu will get my vote.

Henry Irving

Voted for Deje as he played first team in a difficult period for the team.

Couldn't vote for a loan player and Kanu, while a fantastic record and a worthy candidate, did it at a lower level.

When Miles scores the winner v Morecombe some will demand a recount.

The Red Robin

Can it be Burstow? He’s not our player.

i think the fact he played games as a Charlton play (rather than a loaner) means he's eligible

Scott Carson and Jay Dasilva both won our main POTY whilst not being our player so i don't see why not.

Whether you want to vote for a player who 'left' mid-season though and hasn't played well since is another matter.

I would say there remains a number of other players who might have been considered this season.

This. For starters, what about those out on loan at the moment and seemingly getting good feedback.

The club seems have an abundance of good young players atm.

my choice would be Burstow. We’ve already sold him so there’s no danger of somebody coming in to buy our ‘best young player of the season’ if he wins it
