Do you agree with how Blues writer sees the performances of John Mousinho’s squad so far, after a tumultuous campaign to date?

25. Jordan Archer 6
Has been a dependable back-up to Will Norris and Nico Schmid and really impressed when brought on against Cardiff last October and subsequently steady against Sheffield Wednesday. Photo: Jason Brown

26. Paddy Lane 5
Been a season where Lane hasn't been able to build on significant contribution to title success. Looked extremely fit at the start of the campaign and distances covered were there, but couldn't be matched with influence on game. Looked very decent centrally at Burnley but hasn't got to that level consistently, before season was curtailed by injury at Blackburn. Photo: Matt McNulty

27. Rob Atkinson 8
What a key addition the loanee was proving after arriving in January. Provided stability and resillience in the back line at a point when it was desperately needed, so injury blow against QPR was a real setback. Hopes high he can still play a part in bid for survival. Photo: Peter Nicholls

28. Hayden Matthews 7
Showing very decent promise all told since coming into the English game. Had moments of struggle against Millwall on bow, but also bright spots - with more of the latter the general tone of things finishing as a wounded soldier against QPR - with his season then confirmed as being over after ankle injury.
