Drury split over top player vote

Norwich City defender Adam Drury thinks Dion Dublin or David Marshall should win the player of the season award.

The Barry Butler Memorial Trophy will be presented before the Canaries' crucial clash with QPR on Saturday.

After a season curtailed by injury, Drury says the retiring striker or the City keeper should top the fans' poll.

"Marshy's made saves that have won us points and Dion, at 39, to be playing at the level he plays is fantastic," said Drury.

"Dion's been one of our main players, we rely on him week-in, week-out."

Drury's season was ended by a serious knee injury in the game against Bristol City in October, and the 2003 player of the season admits watching the side battle relegation has been tough.

At the bottom end it's going to be very close

"Watching this season, it's been like being a fan, but one who knows he could be playing. Obviously I'm just rooting for the lads to get the job done on Saturday," he said.

The Canaries are 18th in the Championship, just points clear of the relegation zone with two games remaining.

But their total of 52 points is one which Drury believes would have seen them safe already in other seasons.

"When you look at the top end of the table, it's going to be one of the lowest points totals to achieve automatic promotion for a long while," said the Canaries' longest serving player.

"At the bottom end it's going to be very close, I wish we had done it already, but we haven't and we've got to make sure we finish it off."
