Scott Sinclair was one of the winners at the Player of the Year awards last night for the club.
The winger has perhaps not had the season he did last year and some have criticised him for that but, personally, I still think he has had a decent campaign.
With that said, too, he won the Top Goalscorer award in 2017/18 and it’s certainly something he looks happy about via the club’s official Twitter account:

Congratulations to Scotty, then, but some have rightly pointed out that the season is not over just yet.
Let’s take a look at what has been said on social media in response to the news:

Probably should've waited until the last game to award this, forrest is only 1 behind and dembele is 2 I believe, bit awkward winning this if at the end of the season he isnt our top goal scorer ๐๐

The Verdict
He’s been in form in front of goal, then, but I do wonder why we give this award out at this point in the campaign.
Whilst the other gongs can probably be settled on by now, this one is surely the most fluid – especially when you look how close it is.
Let’s see if Scotty can hold on.
Thoughts, Bhoys? Let me know!
