Key: Appearances (as substitute), Goals, Cautions, Sending off

Mike Basham
Appearances: 0 (0), 0, 0, 0
Frozen out by Dolan after the City chief questioned the former Barnet defender’s commitment to the Minstermen. Loaned out to non-League side Chelmsford, a move that became permanent when his contract at City was terminated ‘by mutual consent’ by the club’s new owners.

Marlon Beresford
6 (0), 0, 0, 0
Surprise and welcome addition to the squad at the start of the season when Russ Howarth’s future at City remained in doubt. All set to give Alan Fettis, sidelined at the start of the season with a broken finger, a real battle for the number one spot before taking up Burnley’s offer of First Division football. Now surplus to requirements at Turf Moor.

Stephen Brackstone
25 (4), 3, 1, 0
Another success story. Was probably expected to fulfil only a squad role but surpassed all expectations. By Christmas, he had established himself as a first-team regular with his considered passing only to be sidelined by illness.

Chris Brass
43 (1), 1, 6, 0
Justified the ‘Captain Marvel’ tag with a superb season both on and off the field.
Found his position operating as a sweeper, where his organisational and leadership skills, combined with his ability to read the game superbly, came to the fore. It was surely no coincidence that in the five games Brass was absent with a broken cheekbone City failed to win a game. Well respected by his team mates, his calming influence and voice of reason during the height of City’s financial problems should not be underestimated

Lee Bullock
41 (1), 7, 6, 0
After scoring nine goals from midfield in a struggling side last time out, perhaps failed to make quite the impact he would have liked this time around.

Still weighed in with seven goal haul and crucially was forced to operate in a slightly deeper, more defensive midfield role for much of the season.

John Collinson
0 (0), 0, 0, 0
In his first season with the pros, Collinson had to settle for role of understudy to no fewer than five keepers’ – Fettis, Howarth, Beresford, Ingham and Whitehead – as bench duties beckoned. Always rated highly at the club but suffers from the age-old catch-22 situation effecting young shot-stoppers and their managers - experience or lack-off.

Lee Cook
8 (0), 2, 3, 0
Signed on loan from Watford, the hugely impressive winger brought frightening pace and some much needed width to the City team. However, City’s cash troubles meant Cook had to return south sooner than expected.

Richard Cooper
21 (3), 1, 4, 0
Sidelined by injury at the start of the season, only got back into the team after Christmas but got stronger as the season wore on. Detailed to disrupt the opposition and break up the play, hishis return allowed Lee Bullock to push on and get back among the goals.

Tom Cowan
32 (2), 0, 10, 0
Solid season from Cowan, who showed fantastic aerial ability, consistency and commitment when called upon. Fiercely competitive and brought plenty of experience to the City back line. His only fault were a couple of costly positional lapses.

Peter Duffield
31 (0), 15, 1, 0
Started the season in stunning fashion with six goals in City’s first six games. His goals were rich reward for manager Terry Dolan, who had offered a Duffield a new contract despite the veteran striker having spent much of the previous two campaigns sidelined following three leg breaks. His subsequent move to struggling Boston during City’s cash woes was a big blow. Had he been here all season many think City would have secured a play-off position.

Darren Edmondson
41 (1), 5, 8, 0
Played a key-role in City’s promotion push. Sometimes gets involved in too many skirmishes with officials and members of the opposition, but his commitment to the City cause can never be questioned. His five-goal haul was impressive considering he had failed to find the back of the net in the two previous seasons.

Alan Fettis
24 (0), 0, 2, 0
Enjoying another fine season when, at the height of City’s off-field troubles, he moved to bitter rivals Hull City. Still held in high regard by the Minstermen faithful, but his departure proved not the disaster fans had feared. Named in the PFA Division Three team of the season.

Christian Fox
7 (5), 0, 3, 0
Another torrid, injury ravaged season. Looked to have re-established himself when he was named in the starting line-up for the first game of the season only to suffer another knee injury in a reserve outing just a few weeks later. Returned to the squad just before Christmas but then broke his arm.

His contract is up and will be interesting to see whether Dolan is willing to offer him another deal.

Keith Graydon
4 (3), 1, 2, 0
Dazzled in his first showing for City but then struggled to make a lasting impression. Looks more a link-player than a t goalscorer, showed glimpses of craft allied to willingness to graft. Set to be released by Sunderland, his chances of securing a permanent move to City was blighted by an unconvincing performance in the last game of the season.

Gary Hobson
27 (4), 0, 4, 0
After previous seasons were wrecked by injury, Hobson made a more significant contribution this time around. Suffered a hard time from the fans, but was nearly always selected by Dolan if available. A lack of pace and a sometimes poor distribution did little to placate the fans, but he was an experienced and steady performer who brought height to the defence.

Russ Howarth
1 (0), 0, 0, 0
Left a sour taste when he refused to play in a pre-season friendly as his hoped-for move to Wolves hung in the balance. Later, hinted he may have made a mistake and returned to Bootham Crescent after the move to Molineux and a trial with Spurs came to nothing. Made one appearance for City in the LDV Vans Trophy but was later sold to Tranmere for a cut-price £25,000.

Michael Ingham
17 (0), 0, 1, 0
Another shrewd signing by Dolan and another ringing endorsement of the special agreement the club has with Sunderland. Fettis was hardly missed following the initial disappointment at his departure to Hull says it all. His one weak spot remains his kicking but when he gets it right it can also be a telling weapon. Sunderland now want Ingham back at the Stadium of Light.

You can hardly blame them.

Scott Jones
20 (1), 0, 6, 0
Having enjoyed a successful loan spell at the end of last season, Jones struggled to repeat that form until the latter half of the season when he formed a formidable defensive barrier alongside Chris Brass and Smith.

Alex Mathie
2 (8), 0, 0, 0
Never came close to claiming a regular first-team berth and even struggled to make the first-team squad. No surprise when he was cut-free once the Trust took control of the club.

Nicolas Mazzina
0 (3), 0, 0, 0
Another failed attempt to inject some Latin flair in the City ranks by then chairman John Batchelor. While great going forward the Argentine never truly convinced Terry Dolan he could cut it tracking back and was released after a couple of short term contracts.

Jon McCarthy
1 (0), 0, 1, 0
It was a dream come true for the City faithful when McCarthy returned to Bootham Crescent. However, in the first real indication the club’s finances were wobbling, the club was unable to offer McCarthy anything permanent and after just one promising re-appearance in City colours McCarthy switched allegiance to Carlisle United. Few begrudged his decision to move to Cumbria.

Lee Nogan
43 (7), 6, 2, 0
Goal return was disappointing compared to previous seasons, but like Bullock was forced to operate in a more withdrawn role for much of the campaign.

Nogan’s lack of pace became increasingly apparent but so too did his work-rate, experience and unquestioned commitment.

Aiden O’Kane
0, (0), 0, 0, 0
Fringe first-teamer O’Kane dropped further down the pecking order as the season progressed. Made just one appearance in the first-team squad, as an unused substitute in City’s LDV Vans Trophy defeat at Lincoln.

No surprise when his contract was settled early.

James Okoli
2 (2), 0, 0, 0
Joined City on trial during the summer and impressed enough to earn a contract.

Started City’s first game of the season at Macclesfield but looked decidedly unsteady. He made just one more senior start, in the LDV Vans Trophy.

Jon Parkin
40 (4), 11, 11, 0
An undoubted star of the season although fans are still undecided as to his best position, be it centre-back or centre-forward. Scored 11 goals to help dampen the disappointment of seeing Duffield depart to Boston and led the line superbly on occasions. Missed a few chances too, particularly in the run-in, His height would certainly help a relatively small rearguard but when he doesn’t play up front City, using their current system, miss his height and power. Stuck by City at the heightof their troubles when he could have left.

Graham Potter
41 (2), 1, 2, 0
Suffered at the start of the campaign because of his flexibility, which ensured he was never able to lay claim to a definite position. His brightest moments came later on when he operated in a more central midfield role and was given more licence to drift forward. Remains a vital cog but still has a tendency to fade from games.

Michael Reddy
10 (1), 2, 3, 0
Another loan signing from Sunderland, his second-half substitute appearance at Hartlepool had fans licking their lips in excitement. Looked then like he would pick up the baton left by Michael Proctor. However, while helping to set up a number of goals and penalties, he never quite fulfilled that debut promise.

Rogerio
0 (5), 0, 0, 0
First-ever Brazilian player to feature for City, Rogerio was as far removed from the Samba-style of play usually associated with his South American homeland than can be imagined. A towering presence, he scored regularly for the reserves but found the step-up to first-team level too great.

Anthony Shandran
12 (6), 3, 2, 0
After Duffield’s departure and Reddy’s return to Sunderland, Shandran was signed on loan from Burnley to boost City’s ailing firepower. His pace suggested he was earmarked more as a replacement for Reddy and showed plenty of potential at the start of his loan spell. Generally struggled to justify a starting role but still bagged three goals and City may sign him now he has been released from Turf Moor.

Chris Smith
36 (3), 0, 5, 1
Despite Chris Brass winning all the awards, Smith’s development is perhaps the major plus point for City. Composed on the ball and showed a refreshing willingness to carry the ball out of defence he proved himself nobody’s pushover in the heat of battle. Still only 21, has time and bags of potential to develop further.

David Stockdale
0 (1), 0, 0, 0
Seconded to the first team ranks to cover for Michael Ingham on occasions and even pipped Collinson to the number one role in the reserves towards the end of the season. Got his first-team chance at Oxford on Saturday when he replaced an injured Ingham at half-time. Not bad for a first-year trainee and suggests the youngster is one to watch.

Phil Whitehead
2 (0), 0, 0, 0
A surprise and late addition to the Minstermen ranks, Whitehead joined City on a week-long loan from Reading when injury ruled-out Michael Ingham in mid-April. Performed well in his two games he played with manager Dolan indicating he may look to acquire the experienced shot-stopper over the summer when his contract at the Madejski Stadium runs out.

Craig Wilding
2 (6), 0, 1, 0
Was probably not expected to become a first team regular this season but will still be disappointed at his lack of first team opportunities. Signed as a striker, as the season progressed he more often than not occupied a midfield role for the reserves.

Stuart Wise
3 (5), 0, 1, 0
Emerged in the final third of the previous season and belied his tender years with series of mature performances at the heart of the City defence.

As such, this season could be viewed as a disappointment given that he has made just three senior starts. At 19 has plenty of time on his side and has been offered a professional contract for next season.

Leigh Wood
8 (12) 0, 3, 0
Not quite the impact he would have liked in his first full season as a pro but remains a quality player who oozes potential. Has time on his side but will want to play a more decisive role next time around.

Levent Yalcin
0 (6), 0, 0, 0
After his goalscoring feats for Turkey’s youth teams, a lot of fans have earmarked Yalcin as one of the club’s most promising starlets.

Underlined that potential when he scored a stunning second-half hat-trick for the reserves. Still only in the second year of his traineeship and awaits his first senior start and saw the second half of his season blighted by injury.
