Here are some selected responses, followed by a poll.

Bostwick...the player we miss most when he’s not in the side (as a defender).

Chris Forrester, so assured on the ball and rarely puts a foot wrong. Easy transition from Ireland too.

Forrester by a mile...our good/bad spells this season almost match up exactly to when he has/hasn’t played.

Conor Washington has left Posh, but he's not been forgotten by the coub's fans. Photo: Joe Dent/theposh.com.Conor Washington has left Posh, but he's not been forgotten by the coub's fans. Photo: Joe Dent/theposh.com.

Maddison goals and assists. Forrester for being a top performer and probably the most consistent. I’d add Bostwick, Smith, Maddison, Alnwick and possibly Washington (which perhaps says something).

@14obrien14

Not POY, but Beautyman has to be top six. Arguably the most consistent performer for Posh this season.

You can’t look past Chris Forrester. Great season and already one of the best central midfielders of the DMac era. Elder, Smith, Bostwick, Maddison and Washington for a top six.

Michael Smith and Michael Bostwick for consistency, however Forrester has been our best player by far this season.

Maddison. 25 goals and assists in 35 games and some of those were sub appearances and some when being played at left back!

@JP1506

For me it’s a toss up between Forrester and Taylor. Forrester won’t be here long before he’s picked up by a Premier L eague club.

@ABGratton24

Bostwick ­ Mr Reliable

@retrometabolism

Maddison or Forrester

@chuggy173

Chris Forrester for me. Although a late arrival to the club & still very young, he’s added quality & composure in midfield. Can see shades of Grant McCann in him.

Beautyman, often overlooked for the credit he deserves. Great work and team-player ethics.

@jasonAllanBish1

Alnwick ­ the player who saved us the most points by far.

@0Lmm7

My top 6 Posh players in order: Bostwick, Forrester, Alnwick, Elder, Washington and Taylor.

@scarboroughsss

Forrester for me, although had he stayed fit then it would have been Callum Elder. Hopefully he’ll be back next season.

@CHAMM24

Maddison as despite the criticism he is the only player who has improved since Christmas.The rest went to the beach on Boxing Day. And some are still there.

@POSHANDY61

My six would be (no order): Forrester, Maddison, Bostwick, Taylor, Elder, Beautyman . Probably Forrester or Bostwick as POY for their consistency.

@ChandlerLouie

Bostwick for POY. Maddison, Forrester, Angol, Smith & Taylor probably best of the rest.

@JohnVerrall

Bostwick as he’s so solid.

@PahRauidhri

Forrester wins for me. Bostwick, Smith & Beautyman up there too. Washington and Elder have been our most missed as well, so deserve a mention.

@buckley_ronan

Smith, Bostwick, Forrester, Beautyman, Maddison, Taylor in the top six (No order). Forrester POY, biggest influence on the team!

@BradleyRayner9

Beautyman, brought energy to the midfield.

@TommoNewton2

Zakuani/Forrester as we look different when both of these are not in the team.

@LukeCompton2010

Bostwick POY, Smith, Elder, J. Anderson, Forrester, Taylor best of the rest.

@TomLea_

Forrester. He’s been consistently solid since his move. Although sometimes sluggish, he has real quality that Posh would miss.

@danmason_10

Forrester our best player and consistent too,Taylor not far behind.

@PUFC7

I’m not his biggest fan but at times Maddison has been the only one shining to give us hope.

@noelmc66

Washington, as this was his season and he was vital to our early success!

@aldabl

Forrester head and shoulders above the rest. Quality signing

@DazMoody

Bostwick is the only one who’s done it over the whole season. Forrester played well for most as did Washington.

@SuperPosh

Bostwick for me! We always look suspect at the back without him. Washington should get a nod as well!

@j_cook36

In no order: Bostwick, Maddison, Taylor, Forrester, Alnwick & Oztumer.

@erichodnett

Forrester, Maddison, Taylor, Smith, J. Anderson, Elder (despite injuries).

@AlexBatt

Chris Forrester for me. The chairman is right in what he said about him. Premier League side West Brom couldn’t get near him in the two FA Cup games.

@FORTUNATESON

Top six: Forrester, Bostwick, Smith, Maddison ,Taylor, Beautyman.

@cpufchatton

Chris Forrester who controls the game for Posh and rarely puts a foot wrong! Been quality considering he moved away from family.

@RobconPUFC

Maddison for me.. plays for the love of the game, not for popularity .

@LennieLina

Forrester for sure, but Maddison deserves a mention for realising individual quality can fit into a team. Alnwick and Bostwick also.

@buckrodgersposh

Michael Smith for me. Matured into a reliable right back. He makes very few mistakes during games.

@BigNick1934

Chris Forrester. Calm, composed, protects our fragile back line, plays it neat & simple. Best £50k Posh ever spent

@Edgaralanpoe48

Bostwick, Alnwick, Forrester, Maddison, Washington and Taylor in that order. Bostwick player of the season by a mile.
