SCOTT MCKENNA
Having started every Championship game this season, McKenna offers solidity in the defence. The central defender has contributed to six clean sheets, with four of these coming in the last seven games.

The start of the current campaign saw him struggle with a calf injury, but since his return Worrall has made 20 appearances.
