Vote: Who is your Burnley player of the season?
- Published
We asked our Burnley fan contributor for their four player of the season choices and you can now vote for your top one.
Sander Berge
Sander came in at the start of the season and, despite a slow start getting used to his new role and team-mates, was easily the most consistent player throughout the course of our season.
Maxime Esteve
Since Esteve has come in he has definitely improved us at the back. I am delighted he will be with us in the Championship next season as he will be a literal brick wall in that league. He has been excellent since he came in and has committed zero errors leading to an opposition shot.
Wilson Odobert
This kid is special and I believe he is going to the top. He is still young and a little rough around the edges and his decision-making could be better, but all of that will come with age and experience. The 19-year-old came into the side after an injury to Luca Koleosho and he has since been one of our main threats going forward and created our most big chances this season.
Dara O'Shea
Now this one might raise a few eyebrows but hear me out. Yes, he has been frustrating at times and made a few mistakes, but I genuinely feel he has improved a lot as the season has gone on and he is actually decent when we are in possession of the ball. You must be doing something right when, as a defender, you have the second-highest goal contributions in the squad and the second-highest passing accuracy.
Honourable mentions
Jacob Bruun Larsen - Many will probably feel he should be in the top four as our leading goalscorer this season, but I think that says a lot more about our strikers than it does JBL. I would love to see him in the Championship with us next season. He can be a real handful, though I would just like to see more assists from the Dane.
Arijanet Muric - should never have been dropped and if he played over the course of the season I don't feel like we would have had such a bad one.
Josh Cullen - last season's player of the year who has not been trusted enough by the manager and who has improved us since getting regular minutes.
Lyle Foster - a stop-start season for Lyle because of his mental health struggles, but he started really well before his issues and we need to keep supporting him.
Luca Koleosho - missed the majority of the season because of a bad injury but he started superbly and, like Odobert, he has the ability to go to the very top.
