Multiple player of the year award-winner Conor Chaplin says plenty of his teammates will have run him close having put in consistent performances throughout a successful campaign.

Chaplin won the Supporters Club Player of the Year and Ultimate Members awards on Saturday, then added the Players’ Player gong and Corporate award at last night’s End-of-Season Dinner, while his goal at Derby was named the Town Goal of the Season.

The former Barnsley, Coventry and Portsmouth man was also recently named in the EFL League One Team of the Season and has been nominated for the April League One Player of the Month.

“I think there could have been a lot of winners in those certain categories,” Chaplin, who has scored 29 times this season, told iFollow Ipswich reflecting on the intra-club awards.

“We’ve had a lot of consistent performances throughout the whole of the season. It’s nice to have had such an impact on the team this season.

“I’ve been fortunate to have scored lots of goals this month. There was eight games so you don’t get that normally; it’s only really December you’d maybe get that many games.

“To score 10 goals has been good but it’s been crucial as well. I’m just happy that I’ve been able to perform at this time of the season.”

Reflecting on Saturday’s promotion-confirming 6-0 hammering of Exeter which confirmed promotion, the 26-year-old added: “It’s been the best few days. Great times, special times, and memories that will last a long, long time.

“It was incredible. I don’t think it could have gone any better. It was one of the best days I’ve had in football and one of the best days I’ve had in my life. To share that with the group of lads we’ve got and the coaching staff was special.”

bluesnightorg added 09:25 - May 5 “There could have been…” Chappers deserves an EFL grammar award for this, and TWTD should be lauded for their perfect transcription. ITFC can do no wrong.
