Award for Best Player
Start with an easy one. I know Andrew Davies won the official gong but for me the one player most responsible for us staying up, and thus the only possible receipient of this award, is Stern John. 19 goals, with no other player getting into double figures, tells its own story but the lack of good crossing or final passes throughout the season meant he made many of those goals himself through his power and good touch on the ball.

Franny Benali award for being a nutter
From the likes of Mark Dennis, Benali himself even up to more recent examples like Patrick Colleter, Saints have a rich history of players just as liable to kick one of the opposition into the stands as the ball. In recent seasons our demise has coincided with a lack of grade A, top class nutterdom. I’m going to say Kudos then to Youssef Safri who, while not in the same league (literally or figuratively), as previous alumni has shown a streak of temper to collect 2 reds and 6 yellows this season. The fact that many of our best performances have come when he’s been pulling the strings in midfield and some of our worse when he’s been suspended show the rest of the squad need an upgrade in mentalness.

Légion d’honneur for finest capitulation
That would be the Saints team who travelled to Hillsborough and thanked the visiting supporters by conceding 5 goals in 24 minutes, 4 of them in a 14 minute second half spell. Remember that Wednesday themselves only finished 16th! They fought off strong competition for this award from the sides at Preston away (5-1, 3 in the last 15 minutes) and Hull away (5-0, 4 in the second half).
