Town duo Leif Davis and Conor Chaplin have been named in the League One Team of the Season at this evening’s EFL Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, while on-loan midfielder Idris EL Mizouni is included in the League Two XI.

Davis, who joined the Blues for £1 million from Leeds in the summer, was delighted with the honour, particularly alongside a teammate.

“A very proud moment,” he told iFollow Ipswich. “I’m absolutely that I’ve been recognised in the league.

“This man’s in it as well, he’s been absolutely incredible this season, but I think it could have been the full team that could have been nominated for it.

“Everyone’s been absolutely outstanding this season. I’m just delighted to get the award.”

Town's 26-goal top scorer Chaplin added: “It’s nice recognition. Being there with a teammate is obviously is a lot nicer. I think there definitely could have been more for sure.

“Not just in our team, but in the league, there are a lot of good players who didn’t get in it.

“Very pleased, but we’re looking forward to the next game now. The focus is on the game, it’s nice while it lasts but we’re looking at the games.”

Also included the League One divisional select side was one-time Blues reserves midfielder Conor Hourihane, who is currently with Derby County.

Midfielder El Mizouni has enjoyed a hugely successful season with Leyton Orient, who confirmed their title win yesterday.

“I’m very proud to be named in that team with a few other [Orient] players,” the Tunisia international said.

“Obviously I couldn’t do it without the team and staff. Very proud for me, I’ve made my family proud so I’m very happy.

“It’s been a great few weeks, got promoted last week and then this Saturday became champions, so it’s been a good few weeks.

“[The loan spell has] been unbelievable. I’ve played a part in a promotion team, played a lot of games and I think that was what I needed.”

Looking ahead to the future, the 22-year-old added: “First of all finish the season strong and then come back in pre-season, be strong and see what happens next year.”

Meanwhile, Town boss Kieran McKenna missed out on being named the League One Manager of the Year to Plymouth's Steven Schumacher. McKenna was nominated alongside Schumacher and Sheffield Wednesday's Darren Moore.

Blues midfielder Cameron Humphreys missed out on the League One Young Player of the Year award having been one of the three nominees with Plymouth’s on-loan Norwich full-back Bali Mumba picking up the gong.

Centre-half George Edmundson was in the running for the EFL Player in the Community Award having won the divisional award but Omar Beckles of Leyton Orient was named the overall winner.

The full list of winners can be found on the EFL website here.

HighgateBlue added 21:44 - Apr 23 Leif Davis has been picked at centre back? For real? A position he has not once played? Why not pick him in the League 2 team of the season too? The fact that he's not played in that would surely not be an impediment. Miracle they picked Cooper in goal rather than in midfield... Chappers and Leif totally deserve to be in this side though of course.

Essexnblue added 21:52 - Apr 23 How the hell has Hourihane been picked ahead of Morsy, when the Derby midfielder has been unfit most of the season? Christian Walton unlucky as well!

rob442 added 22:05 - Apr 23 What a joke. Mosy is not only in the top 11 in this division, he's in the top 1.

bringmeaKuqi added 22:31 - Apr 23 Two players from Ipswich, Plymouth and Wednesday, one from Barnsley, Derby, Bolton and Peterborough - just seems like an exercise in keeping fans from top 6 clubs happy. This is hardly an objective measure of the best players in the league.

Ipswichbusiness added 22:59 - Apr 23 My vote for player of the year went to Walton for his role in our defensive record and the numerous clean sheets.

Westcountryblue added 01:38 - Apr 24 I'm thinking El Miz could potentially move above the likes of Evans, Camara et al in the pecking order. Reckon he'll get a chance in pre season.

chepstowblue added 04:47 - Apr 24 Whilst they give a very small indicator of who's done well, these awards are absolute b*****ks. Do it at the end of the season or not at all. Who took the award for most pre pre pre assists, who had most 'involvements', who played the most sideways passes between 1-2yards, who kept his jockstrap the cleanest? Nonsense !

ITFC_Singapore added 05:14 - Apr 24 Given Morsy and Walton are not selected in that team...........it can be discounted as a random joke. Pretty much spun a coin between Morsy and Walton for Player of the Year.

cressi added 05:23 - Apr 24 This is just a load of dross to be honest I've not seen a better central midfield player than Morsey. Most opposition fans don't like him there's a reason as he usually dominates games.

bobble added 06:56 - Apr 24 how can they pick the players and managers before the end of the season ? what happens if the top managers team loses the next 3 games 15-0 ? or any of the of players picked headbut the ref the next game and get banned for life ?

Kentish_Tractor added 08:27 - Apr 24 Agree that Morsey should be in there. Doesn't get the most goals or assists which is probably why they have omitted him - but for everything else 100% should be there. Don't agree Walton should be there though. I can why he'd be a candidate due to the number of clean sheets and goals conceeded (which I would say is testament to the whole team dominating games, but also to the defence as a whole unit) - but I have to conceed that Cooper has been a better keeper this season in terms of saves made and is half the reason Plymouth are where they are.

Fatboy added 10:26 - Apr 24 If there's a player in League One who's better than Morsy in his position then I'd love to see him. David McGoldrick is another glaring omission.

Lightningboy added 11:28 - Apr 24 No Morsy or Woolfenden? Laughable 🤡

barrystedmunds added 12:00 - Apr 24 Surely a belated Aprils fool! Designed to wind us fans up. The only team of league one that I'm interested in is the one KMcK puts out.
