We asked for your views on who has been Motherwell's player of the season.
Here's what some of you said:
Mark: There are so many players who have excelled under Jens Berthel Askou, and I think lots of people are going to say Tawanda Maswanhise, Elliot Watt or Elijah Just as their player of the season. However, I think the player of the season has to be Paul McGinn. He has been stellar at the heart of the defence all season, looking very composed and comfortable on and off the ball while leading the back line of one of the best defences in the league. Therefore, McGinn is the clear choice for me.
Stuart: Where do you start? The team as a whole deserve it because each and every individual has brought something to the forefront. From the goalkeeper Calum Ward going from third choice to first and growing in confidence after a shaky start to the season keeping the most clean sheets in club history. The old guard of McGinn and Stephen O’Donnell playing some of the best football of their careers. New signings of Watt, Just, Ibrahim Said and Oscar Priestman have excelled in coming into a new club and fitting right in as if they’ve been here for years. But Maswanhise has to edge it, he looks a totally different player from last season, more attacking, stylish and a goal scoring predator, hopefully he can finish with a furry and end up the league’s top scorer to sum up a fantastic season.
Derek: Maswanhise will be up there for a lot of fans for player of the year but for me it has to be Just, he is superb and is absolutely vital to how we play, can score goals and create them, he would be a huge void to fill should he ever leave.
Jaime: McGinn for me. Unbelievably consistent. I’d take a guaranteed seven out of 10 player every game over a nine or 10 out of 10 player every three or four games. Maswanhise, Watt and Just are getting the plaudits, and rightfully so, but this style of play is harder to adjust to for defenders at a certain age and McGinn and O’Donnell have been outstanding but most importantly, consistent.
James: Player of the year has to be Stephen Welsh. Motherwell should sign him permanently and build the team around him.
David: In a team of so many outstanding performers, I’d go for Just – others have been outstanding but he’s been consistently a stand out.
Jim: I know the forwards will get all the attention, however my player of the year would go to Ward. Not only has he set a new clean sheet record, he is fundamental to the way the team plays from the back.
