Player of the season (19/20)

[thegaffer12]

Thinking very prematurely, but who would everyone say has been our player of the season so far?

First half of the season, my vote would have gone to Hallberg, but he hasn't done much of note recently.

Now, I am torn between Martin Boyle and Christian Doidge who have both contributed hugely to our turn in form.

[The 90+2]

Vegan Nish. He’s been awesome since early November. Most consistent player too.

Kamberi? Just to get him back to the player of the year function 😁

[Sir David Gray]

Doidge for me the turnaround in him in the past 3 months has been phenomenal.

[Hibeesmad]

Did McGinn win player of the year at Hibs?

[Shrekko]

As the OP says.... Boyle or Doidge.

[The 90+2]

Did McGinn win player of the year at Hibs?

Yep. Year we won the cup. 👍

[calumhibee1]

Currently Doidge. If Boyle can keep his form up then it’ll prob be him by the end of the season.

[Northernhibee]

Doidge without a shadow of a doubt.

[The 90+2]

I would argue Doidge is in better form at the moment. Opinions though 👍

[Brightside]

Paul Hanlon obv

[fulshie]

Martin Boyle. When the ugly sisters (Celtic mainly) are making a noise about a player then they are doing something right. Even if they weren't, it's MB easy.

[Diclonius]

Boyle.

[hfc rd]

It’s between Boyle or Doidge. I’d say Boyle, only just.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Boidge or Doyle.

[JammyDoidger]

Doidge by a country mile.

[supermcginn]

Doidge and it's not even close.

[makaveli1875]

Scott Allan

[wookie70]

Tough because Boyle and Doidge were absent or out of form for quite a chunk of the season. Saying that so we're the rest of the squad. Doidge would be my choice, we don't get that many strikers scoring as often so he would be in the box seat for the award with Boyle close behind

[PercyHibs]

Boyle by a mile IMO. We’re nowhere near as good a team without him in it. Hopefully we can get him on an extended contract as he’ll make us a lot of money.

Special mention for Doidge. He’s had a great 1st season with us.

[Haymaker]

Josh Vela

:agree:

Boyle being injured probably cost Hecky his job that and no DM his teams had zero pace were eye bleeding to watch Boyles pace put us on the front foot and brought goals

Would also be happy with Doidge

[Hiber-nation]

Vegan Nish. He’s been awesome since early November. Most consistent player too.

Kamberi? Just to get him back to the player of the year function ��

That certainly wins worst nickname of this season. Or any other season.

[MWHIBBIES]

Indeed. Utterly cringe. Has to stop.

[Heisenberg]

He’s certainly trying his best to make it stick, got to give him credit for that.

[.Sean.]

Christian Doidge. I was scathing as were many of us until about November about how much of a carthorse he apparently was, delighted at how wrong that’s turned out to be and also shows how daft it is to quickly write a player off. Newell is also now proving this, he’s turning out to be quality until the 6 weeks thought he was a no hoper.

Boyle’s been excellent, as has Scott Allan though he’s just not had the consistency of the other two mentioned

[HFC93]

Ballon d'Oidge

[Vault Boy]

Doidge ➡️ Allan ➡️ Boyle IMO.

Allan up to 19 (?) for goal involvement. Excellent stuff from all three this season.

[superfurryhibby]

That certainly wins worst nickname of this season. Or any other season.

Totally tiresome and monotonous.

However, Doidge takes player of the season thus far. Worth every penny of his legendary transfer fee.

Plenty left too play for, hopefully he keeps up his form and goes well past the 20 goals mark. Not many Hibs players have done that in the past 40 years, maybe Cowan, Wright, Riordan and Griffiths?

[Lancs Harp]

Quite difficult really and perhaps sums our season up. Doidge has found form but took his time to find his feet and Boyle has missed quite a chunk of the season with injury. It is supposed to be the player of the season not the player of part of it. I'll reserve judgement until the end of the campaign but I have a sneaking feeling it might not be any clearer then!! I'll go for whoever scores the winning goal in the cup final. :greengrin

[Gloucester Hibs]

Boyle for me, he’s scored some really classy goals and contributed a fair number of assists. Wouldn’t argue if Doidge or indeed Scott Allan got the award though.

[yerauldda]

Boyle for me, too, just. If Doidge continues to knock them in then he will probably edge it though.

[heretoday]

Scott Allan for me.

[WeeRussell]

Vegan Nish. He’s been awesome since early November. Most consistent player too.

Kamberi? Just to get him back to the player of the year function 😁

Who? What? …. I'm lost :confused:

Do you mean Doidge? In which case, is he Vegan? And do you think he looks or plays like Nish?!

[WeeRussell]

Boyle for me, too, just. If Doidge continues to knock them in then he will probably edge it though.

Really hope him and McNulty both batter them in from now, almost competing, like the old Deeks and O'Connor days. Hopefully they play plenty of games together an we have two strikers regularly scoring goals.

Would make a big difference for us and things have started promisingly.

[erin go bragh]

It’s close between Boyle and Doidge but Allan is in with a shout too ( 9 goals ,10 assists )

[Since452]

Paul McGinn 😉

[The 90+2]

His playing style reminds me of Nishy.

I see - I'd never heard or seen the veganism thing!

I can't see it sticking like but can't blame a man for trying :greengrin

[Bobby's Cinema]

Boyle for me, provides most entertainment and has added end product. Every time he gets the ball I think we can make something happen.

It won't, I know, sadly :greengrin

[CMurdoch]

Dodge has worked hard for the team all over the pitch all season.
He is not and will never be a one on one finisher like McNulty and needs a partner up front.
Heckenbottoms one up tactics drained his confidence and many Hibs supporters inability to assess the type of striker Doidge is didn't help.
Has barely missed a game and was a steal at £250k.
There are no downsides to the guy application and character wise.
Will continue to score with his intelligent runs from Newells fantastic corners and will take defenders away and create space in open play for McNulty.
Great guy is Doidge.

[California-Hibs]

Boyle & Doidge the clear stand outs.

[Eyrie]

The Artful Doidger.

[IvanSproule]

The tynecastle derby edges it for Boyle I think.

Scott Allan for me. Not been at his best every game, but over the whole season he's been our best player IMO.

[18Craig75]

Scott Allan, Doidge and Boyle all the front runners at the minute. But there’s a lot of football to be played, so their could be outside chances for Newell, Omeonga & Docherty going in to the last few moths of the season.

Correct

I think the reason that Doidge edges it is because it’s not easy to adjust to a new team in a new league in a new country with a new manager - look at Vela.

Doidge struggled to begin with but now looks as if he’s been here for years. Sixteen for the season after a slow start is a phenomenal return, the best striker we’ve had since Griffiths.

Going with this reasoning re: new player in a new league. Yes it took him a while to start banging them in regularly but he never hid, never stopped trying to get in the right positions and looking for the ball and the goal. Hardworking since day one.

[Since452]

Got to be between Boyle and Doidge but for me Doidge edges it with the character he's shown.

[Paisley Hibby]

That is such as shan nickname for Doige. I wish folk would stop using it.

Really good point. There could also be one or two others in contention by the end of the season.

The fact there's a few potential POTS is a great sign for us.

Martin Boyle

Cummings did it three seasons in a row . Yes it was in the championship but still a great scoring record.

[neil7908]

Boyle has done well since he came back from injury but he's missed a massive chunk of the season.

Doidge has to be the leading candidate but Scott Allan's contribution in terms of goals and assists is incredible. Many of those assists are passes no one else in Scotland, let alone at Hibs, would be able to see.
