CHRIS KIRKLAND: A terrific signing who can determine club's destiny in 2007. 8

EMMERSON BOYCE: Replacing Chimbonda never easy but has started to come into own. 7

LEIGHTON BAINES: Surely only a matter of time before he's called up to England squad. 7

ARJAN DE ZEEUW: Very much in the autumn of career but still influential at back. 6

MATT JACKSON: A great guy to have in and around the club. 6

FITZ HALL: Had a super game against Arsenal but the jury is still definitely out. 6

ANDREW WEBSTER: Only made a handful of appearances. 5

PAUL SCHARNER: Switched to midfield and been typically industrious there. 6

LEE MCCULLOCH: A stop-start season for the big Scot. 6

DENNY LANDZAAT: Has the class but has definitely not lived up to expectations. 5

ANTONIO VALENCIA: Dogged by injury but has promised to make an impact. 5

ANDREAS JOHANSSON: Baffling why he often finds himself among the reserves. 6

DAVID COTTERILL: Very much one for the future and will benefit from the experience gained this term. 6

KEVIN KILBANE: Has provided much-needed width and variation on the left flank. 6

HENRI CAMARA: Frustrating. Sometimes brilliant then conspicuous by his absence. 5

EMILE HESKEY: Has shown with the right kind of service he will score goals. 7

JOSIP SKOKO: Gone from bit-part player to key cog. 7

DAVID WRIGHT: Can hold his head up high after some very positive performances. 6

PAUL JEWELL: His side are licking their wounds following four successive home defeats. They must quickly buck the trend otherwise will be dragged into a relegation dogfight.
