BRUNO FERNANDES (3 appearances / 1 goal / 1 Man of the Match)
The captain claimed our only Man of the Match accolade in September, exemplifying leadership during the 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
He was instrumental in the win, scoring his 100th goal for the club by deftly pushing the ball past Filip Jorgensen. Demonstrating his versatility, he moved into a more advanced role and relentlessly challenged the Blues as they sought an equaliser, even forcing a brilliant save from the substitute goalkeeper after a spirited run.
While he saw a penalty opportunity thwarted by Brentford’s Kelleher following a lengthy wait, his impressive overall performance across the three matches secures him a spot on the shortlist.
