MINIMUM 10 APPEARANCES (IN BRACKETS)

GOALKEEPERS

Reice Charles-Cook (24): Appeared just a back-up signing behind Lawrence Vigouroux when he arrived on deadline day in August but was thrust into the limelight as the number one fell out of favour. Started well but became increasingly shaky before injury hit.

Lawrence Vigouroux (16): Town managed to retain their prized asset last summer but the former Liverpool goalkeeper failed to recapture his heroics of 2016-17 and was shipped out on loan to Irish side Waterford after a disciplinary issue.

DEFENDERS

Ben Purkiss (41+3): A right-back by trade but has had to shuffle into the centre of defence in the second half of the season to cover a series of issues. Experienced head in the camp and no one has played more games than the 34-year-old throughout the season.

Olly Lancashire (40): Handed the captaincy following his summer switch to Wiltshire and one of few to show real leadership at the back. Hit by a series of injuries as the campaign went on, with his absence evident by the team’s drop in form.

Matt Taylor (33+4): A real positive from the campaign. A stand-out performer more often than not and admirably took on the managerial reins for a brief spell during a crisis point following David Flitcroft’s shock departure. Scored a number of stunning goals too.

Matt Preston (24+1): Signed on a free transfer outside of the window last September when Town needed cover at the back and quickly established himself as a defensive lynchpin. The team’s progress was badly hurt by his season-ending injury in February.

Chris Robertson (17+5): The 32-year-old has been in and out of the side all season, failing to nail down a starting spot on a regular basis. A wise old head within the squad but a shortage of pace has been exposed on occasion.

Chris Hussey (18): Looked destined to play a pivotal role and some superb performances early on in the campaign but the Sheffield United loanee then did not play for almost six months due to a groin problem. Always a genuine threat on the left.

Kyle Knoyle (17+1): An early injury meant the youngster had to wait until Hallowe’en to make his Town debut but has featured more regularly as the campaign wore on and a series of encouraging displays show plenty to be positive about for the future.

Rollin Menayese (11+1): Drafted in on loan from Bristol Rovers as defensive reinforcement in January and although the lack of a regular partner has not helped the 20-year-old, his rawness has been evident and has been caught out by opposition attackers several times.

MIDFIELDERS

Paul Mullin (23+21): Started the season on fire with four goals in eight games – including the winner on the opening day of the season. Mainly fielded in a wider role than he would probably like and has dropped down the pecking order over the second half of the season.

James Dunne (38+4): Not one to grab the headlines in matches but his appearance stats show the trust he has had of both David Flitcroft and Phil Brown this season. Happy to hold his deeper position on the pitch to allow more creative talents to flourish.

Keshi Anderson (36+1): Seemed a superb acquisition on loan from Crystal Palace initially but his game has stagnated since making the move a permanent on in January. Shows flashes of brilliance but needs it to be on display more frequently.

Kellan Gordon (14+16): The 20-year-old Derby County loanee has largely been used as an impact player off the bench. Bags of pace so has the ability to hurt opposition defences but it is clear he is still finding his feet in his first real foray into senior football.

Amine Linganzi (20+6): A physical presence in the middle of the park is different to what we have grown accustomed to at Town. A regular early on, chipping in with goals too, but another badly hampered by injury and has played just three times since New Year’s Day.

Timi Elsnik (20+3): Looked a class above the average League Two midfielder after his arrival on loan from Derby County last summer, with a succession of eye-catching performances. Injured in the back end of 2017 and has not been able to recapture that form – or a regular place.

Donal McDermott (9+10): Scored a stunner to seal Town victory in just his third match at Morecambe but a succession of fitness issues has halted him ever since. Shows signs of attacking quality out wide at times but needs more consistency.

Ellis Iandolo (11+5): Was probably hoping for a breakout season but the 20-year-old began it on the treatment table and when he did get the chance to play, the natural attacking midfielder was largely deployed in a very unfamiliar left wing-back role.

John Goddard (9+7): Strong pre-season form suggested he would have a big role to play this season but that never really materialised. Offered something different to Town’s other midfielders but deemed surplus to requirements and allowed to leave in January.

Ollie Banks (15): Put in a series of really good performances initially after signing on loan from Oldham Athletic in January but after a three-match suspension for a red card in late February, has looked slightly off-the-pace ever since.

STRIKERS

Luke Norris (32+5): Big improvement on last season and is Town’s top scorer with 14 goals but has not been helped by an on-going shoulder injury. Suffered a dislocation on the opening day of the campaign and it has hampered his efforts ever since.

Kaiyne Woolery (24+17): Signed for a big fee for the fourth tier back in the summer so a goals return of just five is disappointing. Plenty of pace and skill but not quite clinical enough in the final third. Not helped by the lack of a consistent run in the team.

Marc Richards (15+2): An outstanding acquisition in January. Arrived on a free but has been Town’s talisman up top ever since. A genuine goal threat with his predatory instincts in the box and needed just 14 games to hit double figures. No sign of slowing down at the age of 35.

Harry Smith (9+9): At six-foot-five, looked a decent loan signing to offer something different. However, largely limited to appearances off the bench and did not really get much of an opportunity to show what he could do before his temporary switch from Millwall was ended early in December.
