Speroni or Ward, both deserve the prize. Jedinak a beast in defending, but half of the game is to pass the ball to a teammate. In this section MJ is nothing but awful.

Slightly different slant on this subject.....
Considering that we've shipped fewer goals than a lot of teams (including Liverpool), then the obvious answer is that the player of the season should be a defender.
Then you should consider the defensive contributions of some of our forwards. Chamakh is a classic example, although he's not the only attacker who's tracked back & defended well. (didn't Jerome clear one off the line recently?)
We should also not ignore the attacking abilities of defenders. Guys like Moxey, Parr and Ward skipping up the wing to set up attacks.
No........this season has been a team effort. I'm bloody proud of everyone who's put on the shirt this year (perhaps apart from Campana, who promised so much, but delivered so little).
So.....the player of the year should be shared by everyone.
Everyone who's put on the Red & Blue.
Stupid idea.....yeah probably, but worth a shout....hopefully.

I don't think you can say he struggled... the goals we conceded were no reflection on him, he still was playing well, not making mistakes and making good saves - he couldn't make up for our lack of defence true, but no keeper in the world would have made a difference to the outcome of our games under IH this season.

I agree with those who've said it has to be a defender this year.

I think the candidates are: Jules; Delaney; Ward; and Jedinak.

Ward has played in three different positions and been outstanding in all three (well, maybe not quite 'outstanding' as a defensive midfielder but still very good). He oozes class even when playing on his 'wrong' side.

Jedinak has been a real leader and his stats on interceptions and headers speak for themselves. I agree his passing is not great but the man is an absolute beast and I'm convinced we would have lost many more games without him protecting the back four.

Jules has had a fantastic season. It isn't often a keeper gets a standing ovation for a single save but I can remember at least three times this season when the ground has risen to applaud an outstanding save, most recently in the dying minutes last Saturday. Absolute legend but runner up for me this year.

My vote goes to Delaney. Like quite a few on here I didn't think he'd be up to it in the Prem but he's proved the doubters wrong. How many times has he put his body on the line this season to make crucial blocks? The consumate professional. Not the most talented footballer but someone who squeezes every last drop out the ability he has got. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how he does against Suarez and Co in a few weeks time.

But, as others have said, it's been a team effort and just about everyone who has pulled on the shirt this season has been a hero.

Julian Speroni

1. One of the most clean sheets in the league.
2. Has come up with some of the best saves I have ever seen (Hazard).
3. Has not reacted badly to Hennessy coming in. In fact he has thrived.
4. Played every game League game I believe.
5. Could be his last season so it pays great respect.

E Block - Win, Lose or Draw it’s about having a good day out

It Really is Hard to nominate somebody for the Player of the Season and I think just for once as this has been an outstanding Season back in the Premier League for Palace, I would like the whole Team Squad to be recognised for their tremendous efforts on and off the field.

This would be a Presentation to the TEAM of The Season - CRYSTAL PALACE F.C for their historical achievement of being the FIRST CRYSTAL PALACE TEAM to stay up in the PREMIER LEAGUE.
