Hi Trev As you know I'm a great fan of Okimo & I defintely want him to win one of the awards.How can you not include Kabamber in the top 3!? Please explain if you can!? Anyway for me it's got to be Walker - just! Another super read as always.You missed a really brilliant game yesterday,tactically spot on by Deano! When Collinge & Wynter are fit I just don't know how you can drop either Cropper or Potter? I wonder if Cropper could be available permanently next season?

Hi Ian. I picked mine based on what we miss if those players aren't in the team, if Nicke hasn't scored then we have goals elsewhere, but we've seen what happens when Gormo and Laurie have missed games.

Ah, one journey too many on Saturday, am at Wealdstone and Woking and 5 more Bees games in April, gotta keep the blogging varied ;)

Both those two loanees and Harry Smith as well have been brilliant, Moyo is coming to the party now too, would be surprised if Cropper is available to come permanently but a great addition if he was.

Hi Trev I won't be at either of the Wealdstone or Woking games but will be watching on BT Sports & the streaming service respectively.However I will be at away games at Maidstone & Maidenhead if you are going to those? And,of course,all of the remaining home games! I would love someone to review Deano's tactics v Notts County.Maybe I will ask Mem.

Yes, will be at Maidstone, but unlikely Maidenhead.

Good shout to dissect that, heard they were pretty much spot on.

The fact you have named so many reflects perfectly the season we have had whatever the eventual outcome. Personally although I know we have to have a player of the year award I would give the award to the whole squad who all want to play for each other, who seam as proud of the club as the supporters and some who actually took a cut in pay to come here. This is the reason people are coming back to the Hive I believe not just the more exciting football but because fans respect the honesty of this bunch and I have not even mentioned the huge contribution from my man of the season DB.

A contribution from all this season, can't deflect either from Tony Kleanthous having backed things from the beginning and continues to do so too. #TrustTheProcess has certainly for me been the pathway we're following, been tough at times reminding people but it's playing out just nicely, might need a new one next season!

Hang my head in shame none, of this would have happened without TK. Lets say he is like a good referee so good you hardly notice him. I remember when we won promotion against Halifax he walked round the whole ground shaking hands with all the supporters thanking them for their support will never forget that one.

He's back with it this year, but he needs to push it further next year if we want to keep building. I'll never knock his passion or financial acumen but needs to know when to push the right buttons, can't tar every manager with the same brush.
