IT is by no means an easy task choosing the Daily Echo Saints Player of the Season for 2007/08.

Often when it comes to the annual poll, picking the top player is a fairly straightforward task.

There is usually an outstanding candidate, somebody who has figured every week and become a real favourite over the season.

However, in difficult times such as this season, it is a much harder call.

By definition, if the team is struggling around the lower reaches of the Championship, then many players will have under-performed.

You can make a case for several Saints players based on patches of form, but to select somebody who has been consistent over the entire 2007/08 season is a hard call.

That means the poll is wide open and could be closer than ever before.

My top three.

1) Andrew Davies.

2) Kelvin Davis.

3) Stern John.
