Clark.
Grealish.

Clark.
Grealish.
I voted the same. I've been so impressed with the improvement in Clark, especially in such circumstances.
-
Delph
Grealish
-
Benteke (just)
Grealish (who will walk this)
Voted Benteke because without his goals we'd be joining QPR and Burnley.
As for goal of the season, Benteke vs. Palace for me, just beating Cleverley vs. Everton.
-
I went with Benteke (because without his goals over the last third of the season we'd be down) and Grealish.

Agree with the player votes but for the goal, Benteke vs Man Utd.
Bend it like Benteke.

Benteke, grealish

I went with Clark and Okore.
Not only have they done well as individuals, but also as a pairing together.

Delph
Grealish
Tekkers has had a great time since TS arrived, but Delph has been consistent all season, running his little legs off.

Delph

Goal: Gil...went for just how good it was rather than how good/important...Benteke v Palace, Sinclair v Bitters, Cleverley v Everton...all crucial goals in crucial games)

Clark
Grealish
Benteke v Manure
-
Season of significant change, two thirds dire one third good and a historic cup run. Honourable mentions at varying points in time for Hutton, Nzogbia , Given who have all come in from nowhere and done well. Tom Cleverly gas been superb under Sherwood. The Beast has found his Mojo again.
Clark has become a man this season, what a future asset, Baker not far behind.
Delph
Grealish
-
Clark, no doubts for me
and okore
-
Shouldn't really be Grealish but says it all that a player that's only done it in half a dozen games or so can be so far better than just about any other option.
-
Delph, Grealish

In the end Delph edged it for me because I felt that his announcement of signing a new contract was the beginning of the FA Cup having a very different feeling to everything that was going on around it.
I think he is at the centre of a core of players who are creating a culture of Villa being the place they want to be. Sinclair is also saying the 'Big Time' isn't all it's cracked up to be, & Cleverley too, saying it's more important to be happy than earn EVEN more money, and he is happy here. Delph is very much at the root of this culture though, and it's a culture that just might (as its our only chance) lead to us keeping Benteke.
This was topped off by him standing and applauding the away support for an age at the end of the game on Saturday at Southampton - it was like he was actually going to stand and applaud every last one of us out of the ground, and then follow us home and stand outside our house applauding us. It wasn't a cursory, wander past the way fans with your hands over your head for a few claps - he really wanted us to know he meant it. So - my vote gives it back to him!
All this of course on top of him being generally brilliant on the pitch, especially recently.

Earlier H&V Poll (http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=53879.0)
Partially changed my mind and now gone for:
Delph
Grealish

Well, this is the problem of starting a "player of the year" poll with nearly a quarter of the season left to play...
(winky)
-
Clark - because he was the most consistent / improved player. When all around him were shite & senior defenders were missing, he stepped up.
Grealish - because he's head & shoulders above the others
-
I was waiting for that! Fair point, though.
Goal of the season (so far!) is probably the Carles Gil (WHO!?) one v Bournemouth.

Good goal, but Benteke at home v Yanited, I was right behind that as it nestled in the old onion bag, really classy goal and De Gea didn't even move.

Goal: Delph at Wembley. What a move.
-
Clark and Grealish.
-
Goal: Delph at Wembley. What a move.
The one he scored against Liverpool or the one we all hope he scores against Arsenal to win us the F.A. Cup?
-
Clark and Grealish. The former, because when we were so bad his level and consistency of performance was either good or excellent.
The latter because apart from possibly Okore there was not much competition from others, something I am sure TS will address next season.
Goal of the season would be Delph against Liverpool in the semi final.
-
Benteke
Grealish
Carles Gil goal, outrageous.

CB20 goal at Palace was nice too.

What the hell are the Clark and Sanchez goals doing in the shortlist?!
Better than benteke at Wembley? Or his second v QPR? Or delph v west brom?
Nonsense

Clark's is a great goal, it was behind him. Might not look as immediately spectacular as the others but a really tough finish.
I have voted for Clark as he is the only player who looked good under both Lambert and Sherwood. Hutton was an early contender but has faded, partly because of injury. It is easy to nominate Benteke and Delph now and I love them both but they were out of form for a good half a season.
Young player - Grealish for the impact he has made but I do like Okore too and think he will get better.
Goal - Gil. Perfect technique and it was just as important as many others on the list. Most people were expecting an upset when we played Bournemouth, we were playing crap and we really needed the win. Benteke vs United 2nd and Delph 3rd, although Benteke's at Wembley was just as good. It's amazing we have so many to choose from given we had only scored 12 goals by mid February.
-
Delph just about shades Hutton for me with Clarke and Baker both playing far better than I thought them capable of, Benteke fantastic but only in the final few games.
No doubt about Grealish for the other one.

Same for me.

Can't see beyond Delph. He's been consistent in his effort and skill over the whole season , not just after the managerial change but even in a shit team under a shit manager. He's stood out as wanting to make things happen and trying his utmost. And he committed his future to us. Not many candidates for young player so guess it has to be Grealish. I liked our breakaway goal at Sunderland with the backheel from Zog (or was it Bacuna?) with Benteke finishing off the move.
-
Agree with the majority
Delph
Grealish
me too

Delph's goal in the semi. Not as spectacular as Gil's but for the build up and finish it edges it for me.
-
Main player is a tough one but I think i'd go for Delph overall. Hutton was very good before his injury as well.
Grealish has been great (so far) and with him being the youngest, he gets the nod.
Best goal, well Gil's was fantastic but I really do like Benteke's down at Palace.

Over the full season I have Hutton way ahead of Delph. In fact, I'd have Clark ahead of Delph too. Agree with you about Baker. He was in great form showing so much maturity before his injury.
Obviously there's only Grealish in for a shout for Young Player.
-
I love Delph, did even in his low times here but I can't agree with people saying he's been consistent all-season. He was average for most games under Lambert this season. Like others, Sherwood has brought something approaching his best out of him on a regular basis.
-
Hutton has been the most consistent player over the whole season.
Grealish and Okore, probably the latter, depending on what the definition of 'young' is?
-
Fabian Delph is our player of the season - for the second year running.
Delph clocked up 51% of the vote to emerge victorious.
The skipper - and England star - will now receive the famous Terrace Trophy on the pitch after the final home game of the season on Sunday against Burnley.
Delph has been a driving force in the midfield, alongside Tom Cleverley, Ashley Westwood and Carlos Sanchez.
The 25-year-old is a strong vocal force in the dressing room.
But he's also led by example with some exemplary performances in claret and blue.
Goal machine Christian Benteke - who has been prolific in the nervous run-in - was second in the poll on 20%.
Emerging defender Ciaran Clark - who has showed maturity and class at the back - was third with 18%.
Our young player of the season has also been revealed - and it's forward ace Jack Grealish.
Starlet Jack clocked up an incredible 82% of the votes to see off Jores Okore in second and Callum Robinson in third.
Grealish was seen as a hot prospect when the term began - and Tim Sherwood has given him his chance in the season finale.
Over the past few weeks, he has sparkled on the Barclays Premier League stage.
The 19-year-old was also one of our star performers at Wembley as we defeated Liverpool to guarantee a final berth in the FA Cup against Arsenal.
Our goal of the season winner will be revealed on the big screens after the Clarets match.
The finalists have been shortlisted, following voting.
They are Fabian Delph's FA Cup semi-final goal against Liverpool, Carles Gil's stunning curled effort against Bournemouth and Christian Benteke's brilliant finish against Man Utd at Villa Park.
-
Alan Hutton looked a shoo-in earlier in the season.

To be fair, Hutton shone in a poor side. Delph has shone in a good one.
-
If you did a total of ratings per game I think it's Clark
But if it's about influence on the outcome of the season it's benteke or delph
But I'd vote on the basis of the former
-
I voted for Benteke in the hope that, should he win, it would help to keep him here at least one more season.
-
It'd be nice if footballers were that sentimental.
-
I think we voted Downing and Milner player of the year just before they left.
-
Over the whole season my vote goes to Alan Hutton who stormed back from the outer wilderness. Jack Grealish is the obvious choice for our young player and Carles Gil for goal of the season.
-
I'm a big fan of grealish but not sure how he can get young player of the season after only playing a handful of games. Yes he played well but I think okore was more deserving of the award
-
Personally I'd have gone for Clark as he's been the one player this season whose been consistent even under Lamberts reign of terror. Delph had a few poor spells during the season like most others.
Was Ben Foster in the running? Given how he has singlehandedly kept us up. ©WM & the Brummie Road End.
