The dust has settled on another season at Wanderers, but which players had the most minutes in League One?

The Whites fell at the final hurdle against Oxford in the play-off final after finishing third in the table and overcoming Barnsley in the semi.

Josh Dacres-Cogley racked up more minutes on the pitch in the league than any other member of Ian Evatt’s squad.

Eoin Toal was also a regular figure in the backline, while Josh Sheehan’s importance in midfield was reflected by his playing time.

Nathan Baxter had been on track to play every minute before he was sidelined by a wrist injury in February, which saw the goalkeeper spend a couple of months on the sidelines. In his absence, Joel Coleman got more than 1,000 minutes under his belt.

Skipper Ricardo Santos also had a couple of spells out of the team due to injury, while top scorer Dion Charles was forced to miss around eight weeks with a knee issue.

At the other end of the list, Calvin Ramsay made three League One appearances after joining on loan from Liverpool in the January window. Caleb Taylor also saw his game time limited by injury after arriving from West Brom for the second half of the campaign.

Carlos Mendes Gomes’ season had been disrupted by the Africa Cup of Nations and when the versatile attacker was finally starting to find some rhythm, he suffered a cruel injury blow against Wigan.

Dan Nlundulu had also been starting to show what he is capable of before tearing a hamstring, having bagged a brace against Harrogate in the FA Cup. The former Southampton man made his return to the side against Peterborough on the final day.
