The World Cup break marks a unique point for the half-season after 21 rounds of Championship fixtures. With that, it’s awards season, everybody!
Burnley’s Vincent Kompany and Sheffield United’s Ollie Norwood scoop up the main accolades, but they are not the only early-season winners…The Manchester City legend’s appointment in the summer was met with a mixed reception as he did not set the world alight during his managerial education at Anderlecht.
Burnley have become a passing machine as Kompany has turned them into Manchester City lite to great effect. Both stalwarts made their name in the second tier and in recent years have proven themselves in the Premier League. By now, we know what we are going to get from Norwood. Steady 7/10 performances have turned into regular eights and nines this season, with the consistency of his high-calibre showings being particularly eye-catching.
The 21-year-old’s valuation will keep on rising as he’s on for his best season to date on a personal level in terms of goals and assists . The Millers have gone through the wringer this term, with long-term boss Paul Warne jumping ship to join Derby County in the league below. Speaking as a Millers fan, Barlaser is a calibre of player deserving of battling near the top of the Championship.
