Blues boss Paul Jewell says Academy Player of the Year Gunnar Thorsteinsson is if anything too focused on making it as a professional footballer. The 18-year-old Icelander is likely to feature in next season’s new U21 league, an aspect of the EPPP that the Town manager doesn’t particularly welcome.
Player of the Year Conor Chaplin says it means everything to bring success to Town, the forward having taken his goals tally for the season to 29 by netting twice in this afternoon’s 6-0 hammering of Exeter which confirmed the Blues’ promotion to the Championship.
The Supporters Club Player of the Year Awards will take place pitchside following Saturday’s final home game of the season against Exeter City on Saturday in conjunction with the lap of honour.
