Doncaster's Luke Molyneux makes the list, as does Bromley striker and the league's top goalscorer Michael Cheek. Colchester's Jack Payne and Nathan Lowe, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Walsall, are also nominated.

Molyneux registered 28 goals involvements in 45 appearances for table-toppers Doncaster, while Cheek's 25 goals saw him scoop the top goalscorer prize comfortably. Lowe netted 15 goals in the first half of the season with Walsall and his return to parent club Stoke prompted the Saddlers collapse into the play-offs, where they lost the final to AFC Wimbledon. Payne continued to develop his reputation as one of the best midfielders in the division, setting up 11 goals for Colchester.
