North End’s 4-2 win at Brentford was the only league game Barkhuizen didn’t play in, with him suspended that day.

Emil Riis topped one of the statistics charts in his first season in senior English football.

The Dane made the most appearances in the PNE squad as a substitute, joining the action from the bench 21 times. Riis started 17 league games.

Ledson was the assist king of the squad, setting up five goals, the midfielder also having the most yellow cards. His booking on the final day at Nottingham Forest was his 10th of the campaign.

Fortunately the cut-off point for a suspension for 10 cautions is well passed and he will start with a clean slate next season.

Scott Sinclair finished as top scorer with nine league goals, Brad Potts and Ched Evans getting five each.

Tom Bayliss was the 17th PNE player to score in the league when he found the net at Forest.
