The red carpet has been unfurled and the wait is over – Albion blogger Jarrod Hill makes his choices for ‘Bomber’s Baggies Awards.’

As promised I have compiled my thoughts on which players deserve which accolades for their efforts this season, so here goes.

PLAYER OF THE SEASON

A straight fight between two players for me, Jonas Olsson and James Morrison. I have gone for Olsson, not just for his own performances but more importantly for the confidence that he brings to the whole team.

The whole defensive unit looks more confident when he plays and it is no coincidence that the few clean sheets we have kept have come with his appearances. I see him as a key player for our future.

YOUNG PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Graham Dorrans, his emergence this season has been one of few highlights.

GOAL OF THE SEASON

Ishmael Miller – remember him?-  and his thunderbolt against Blackburn. Although I also considered Chris Brunt’s free kick against Portsmouth.

MOST DISAPPOINTING PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Inny meany miny mo! No he is not our new Korean signing, just in reference to the multitude of players too pick from.

But I have plumped for Borja Valero, record signing and his impact has been non existent.

Too similar to our skipper Jonathan Greening to compliment our midfield and the money we spent on him could have been better invested.

Closely followed by goalkeeper Scott Carson, defender Abdoulaye Meite and Luke Moore.

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Chris Brunt. We all knew what his strengths were, but he has lacked consistency since arriving from Sheffield Wednesday.

Has gradually got better and better as the season has rolled on and his goal count of seven goals from midfield is impressive.

The fact a midfielder is our top goal scorer points a big fat finger at one of our major problems this season.

FUNNIEST MOMENT OF THE SEASON

The Chrissy Brunt song, and my stuttering attempt to diffuse my explanation of it to my seven year old nephew.

BEST AWAY FANS

Hull City and their hilarious “you’ve been mauled by the Tigers” song clinched it.

BEST TEAM PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON

Sunderland at home, shame it came so late in the day.

FUNNIEST ALBION BLOGGER

Terry Insert This Week’s Pseudonym. Always makes me chuckle and lets face it, this season has been a grind and the laughter has helped.

Unfortunately my budget for the awards just about stretches to a Terry’s Chocolate Orange for you all to share.

Onto another subject, I have read with interest across this season many Albion fans berating Jeremy Peace. I accept he has his faults, but the main gripe seems to be the lack of transfer funds given to Tony Mowbray.

Personally I do not hold the same view, as far as I am aware he has made whatever funds we can afford available while not placing our club in financial jeopardy.

We are one of a few clubs in the top two divisions that do not have a wealthy chairman – comparatively speaking – and we can only spend what we can afford.

He has openly stated that he would welcome outside investment and sees it essential to us being able to compete in the top half of the Premier League.

I would also like to point out to all those fans who want us to “speculate to accumulate”, that – if Norwich fail to win this weekend – the three clubs relegated from the Championship in the Canaries, Charlton, and Southampton are all recent Premier League clubs.

Add to that list Leicester and Leeds and it highlights the pitfalls clubs face when gambling finances on future success.

Believe me I feel the frustration as much as the next fan, but having also witnessed the collapse of other clubs, I find myself tempering my desire for us to spend money we do not have.

Onto the game against Tottenham, a win might cause a tiny stir in my mind of an unbelievable Houdini style escape from relegation- and I mean tiny.

Anything else and all remains equal in my thoughts, but hey with Heurelho Gomes in the Spurs goal anything is possible.

You watch, he will probably play a blinder now.

Up the Baggies!
