​But do the PT Posh-watchers agree?

Here are the top five players of 2022-23 according to our chief Posh writer.

5th – Kwame Poku

He’s only 21 so inconsistency can still be expected, but he’s shown strong progress this season as a number 10 or on the flank. He will score more in time (only four League One goals so far), but eight assists is bettered only by Joe Ward in the Posh squad.

4th – Nathanael Ogbeta

Yes I know he’s only been here for four months, but the on-loan Swansea man made quite the eye-catching impression with his dashes forward and excellent crossing from the left. Not sure Posh could afford to sign him permanently for next season which would be a shame.

3rd – Ephron Mason-Clark

A power-packed forward with 16 goal contributions (10 goals, 6 assists) in his first season as a Football League player. He’s still raw so will only get better which is rather exciting.

Another fantastic scoring season and he’s proved to be a good skipper, one who leads from the front and who never misses a game (25 goals in 43 League One appearances and only one as a sub). Set to be remembered as one of the great Posh strikers.

1st – Jack Taylor

Sheer class in midfield. He can do it all, pass, dribble, run, shoot and score (seven goals, even though he’s played in a deep midfield position for a lot of the season) which will most likely lead to a departure in the summer so make the most of a terrific talent while you can.
