14. Marcus Tavernier - 5

15. Marcus Browne - 4.8
(4 ratings) In both of his league starts this season Browne has been substituted at half-time. After arriving from West Ham in the summer, the 21-year-old has shown glimpses he has much more to offer. 4.8 Photo: Jan Kruger
16. Marvin Johnson - 5.8
(6 ratings) In his four starts and two substitute appearances, Johnson's marks have been mixed. A 7 at Luton, 4 at Blackburn and some marks in between even out. 5.8 Photo: Frank Reid
