The plaudits continue for Sylvan

Awards have flowed almost as much as the goals for him, so it must have seemed like he's walked onto stages as much as he's entered the penalty area.

Mitre Goal of the Season, Wolves Players' Player of the Year, PFA Team of the Year, FourFourTwo's Team of the Year, 25-goal top scorer for the club, and - barring an amazing spree from Jason Scotland this weekend - a second successive Championship Golden Boot.

But the award closest to his heart is the one from his team-mates.

He said: "I was delighted with the awards. It was a good evening all round on Thursday (at the end of season awards night).

"It's nice to be appreciated by your peers and those you play with. I actually voted for Stephen Ward, because he's done really well playing a different position this season.

"But I think Kevin Foley and the others have done really well too."

When asked about his own contribution, Ebanks-Blake is always quick to recognise the efforts of his team-mates.

He believes the club is right to act quickly to get players such as Kevin Foley and Karl Henry signed up to new contracts.

The top scorer said: "Kev's a good player who more than deserves his award as fans' player of the year.

"He's been very consistent this season. He's a good player and comfortable on the ball and I think he'll do very well.

"It's no surprise that the club want to get him tied down on a new contract. He plays a lot of games and he's got a good head on his shoulders, so I think he'll do very well in the Premier League.

"Karl's done well too – he's played a lot of games and he's consistent. He's performed well and he does those ugly jobs that people don't see very well.

"You need that in your team and he's been very good."

Like chairman Steve Morgan and manager Mick McCarthy, Ebanks-Blake shares the opinion that the vast majority of the current squad can make the step up to the Premier League.

It's not being boastful, just a confidence that comes from being part of a group of players still getting better and eager to test themselves at the higher level.

The former Manchester United reserve reckons McCarthy's 'young and hungry' brigade will thrive against better opposition.

Ebanks-Blake said: "We're all good players – that's why we've won the league comfortably.

"I don't think it's for me to say whether we can all play in the Premier League, because I've never played there myself.

"So who am I to say who can and can't play there? But what I would say is we're all good players who thrive on playing at the top level.

"I'm sure we all will because I'm confident we can all make that step up and do well. You improve playing against better players and the experiences next season will be invaluable.

"I think the boys will grow as individuals and as a unit, getting better the more that we acclimatise to the speed of the football and to the demands of the Premier League."

Fellow striker Sam Vokes reckons he has learned a lot from Ebanks-Blake and believes the top scorer can transfer his scoring spree from the Championship to the Premier League.

The young forward said: "He's unbelievable – he's scored a load of goals and he's had a massive influence on the team with his scoring.

"For me personally, I've learned a lot from him, Chris Iwelumo and Andy Keogh.

"With Sylvan, it's his finishing. Watching the videos of all of his goals at the awards dinner on Thursday, I don't think there's many from outside the six or 18-yard box.

"I think that's the true sign of a striker – that's where he does his work and he's clinical. He's improved in the couple of seasons he's had in the Championship, so I think he can step up and do well."

With one final game left this season, Ebanks-Blake is also looking to play his part against Doncaster after missing the title-clinching trip to Barnsley with a combination of knee and hamstring injuries.

He said: "There's still one game left of this season and I'm looking forward to that.

"I've been trying to get fit for the game – I trained on Friday and Saturday so we'll see what happens. It would be nice to sign off by being back in the team and scoring again.

"I've picked up a few niggling injuries along the way and it's difficult because they gradually catch up with you. It's been a long season and they've caught up with me.

"But the medical staff have been brilliant and hopefully they've got me back, so fingers crossed I'll be fine for the game."
