I don't think Eaves is anywhere near as good as he and his agent think he is. His contract is up and I have no doubt that Scally wouldn't have offered him a fair package. However, from what I understand, Tom hasn't even entertained evem negotiating as he thinks he's a level above us - I'm not sure he is. The last time we had someone scoring his sort of goals - Cody, with about 18/19 - when his contract was up, it was more a case of us not wanting to renew him and him making a sidewards/downwards to Wimbledon. Not sure why Eaves thinks he's so much better? For that reason, and that he has hit bad/lazy form at the time most people consider the POTY award, I don't think he should or will get POTY.
I'd vote for Barry, who has been a revelation this season. To be honest, I thought he was past it when he left us and wasn't enthused by his re-signing, bugbear he's been smashing largely playing out of position at left back. Max has been very good too, but beyond that no one stands out other than Hanlan and Ogilvie - do they qualify as young player?
