Who will be Wolves' Player of the Season?

It's been an indifferent campaign for Kenny Jackett's mid-table team, but for some players it's undoubtedly been their best season in a Wolves shirt.

So who will succeed Richard Stearman and win the crown this time around?

Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers picks out the six likeliest candidates for 2015/16.

An excellent season for 'Lenny' (to the players) or 'white Pele' (to the fans) who has often been Wolves' primary creative spark.

Currently top scorer with seven goals and has chipped in with a few assists, notably at MK Dons last week when he set up both goals.

His pinpoint crosses have often gone unrewarded, as witnessed on Saturday, but he's a constant source of positivity and energy down that right flank.

Aged 26, he's become one of the 'elder statesmen' of the group, and Jackett recently spoke of the Henry's embracing of that role.

"I've watched a consistent improvement and a good hunger in his time at Wolves - and a maturity as a person," he said.

There's tough competition at right wing but his form kept Nathan Byrne and the departed Rajiv van La Parra on the fringes.

Arguably the standout candidate.

Appearances: 37

Goals: 7

Highlight: A few to choose from but he was unplayable at home to Charlton early in the season, ironically on the left wing.

Season in a word: Creative

His 'coming of age' season as a Wolves player.

Was in fine form in pre-season but spent the first few months of the campaign in the role of 'last-minute substitute to supplement defensive rearguard', with Dominic Iorfa getting the nod at right back.

However his campaign came to life on December 21 when, with Scott Golbourne's move to Bristol City imminent, he was thrown in at left back at Sheffield Wednesday - and has thrived ever since.

His attacking forays have been joyous to watch and he's found a knack of cutting inside and beating defenders with no little skill.

But his defending has impressed even more.

When asked what was behind Wolves' sturdier defensive record in the second half of the season, Jackett began his reply by praising Doherty's contribution.

His form also earned a debut international call-up for Ireland.

Appearances: 33

Goals: 2

Highlight: Dragging Wolves to victory over Bristol City with an assist and a last-minute winner.

Season in a word: Enterprising

Showed tremendous character to overcome a confidence-shattering start to the season and become his usual dependable self again of late.

Gasps were audible around Molineux when Ikeme was dropped in favour of Emiliano Martinez for the opening home game of 2015/16 against Hull.

And when Martinez made a couple of clangers in the next fixture at home to QPR, Ikeme was restored at Cardiff, only to make an uncharacteristic gaffe of his own.

Another mistake in the fifth game of the season versus Charlton saw Ikeme permanently demoted to the bench - but an injury to Martinez opened the door again and he's played every match since.

As Ikeme himself said, any keeper needs a run of games to hit form, and since his November recall he has certainly done that.

His shot-stopping ability has never been in doubt but his distribution has improved, while his claiming of crosses has also been impressive and it's pertinent to note that Wolves have cut out sloppy goals from corners or set pieces since Christmas.

He has also become of the squad's leaders, improving his communication on the pitch and becoming and mentor off it.

The professionalism shown when he was dropped set an example to his team mates - there was no sulking or throwing his toys out of the pram.

This was also the season he finally earned international recognition and he's established himself in the Nigeria squad, winning seven caps.

Appearances: 31

Clean sheets: 8

Highlight: Brighton away springs to mind but it's hard to look past Saturday's draw with Blackburn in which Ikeme produced three absolutely stunning saves.

Season in a word: Professional

Like Doherty, you get the feeling his recent form has cemented his place as a key man in Jackett's future plans.

The bearded wonder, popular with fans and team mates, has actually spent large chunks of the season on the fringes of the team.

But whenever he's played, he has never let Wolves down.

And of late he has been the team's star performer by some distance.

Has the game to become the lynchpin, the pivot, the fulcrum and the heartbeat of this Wolves side.

He's captain material, too. When Wolves went 4-1 down at Sheffield Wednesday, Price was the one attempting to lift spirits.

His passing range is excellent but his shielding of the back four has come on leaps and bounds, as has his physical presence.

Chipped in with a long-awaited and wildly-celebrated goal at MK Dons and that's the side of his game he will now look to improve.

As David Edwards said recently, this is a Premier League player in waiting.

Possibly made too few appearances this season to win the crown, but he is more than worthy of a nomination.

Appearances: 24

Goals: 1

Highlight: The midfield masterclass at Burnley that had a purring Jackett labelling it as his best ever Wolves performance

Season in a word: Flourishing

The ultimate pro.

Enjoyed a very productive start to the campaign, netting the winner on the opening day at Blackburn and then thriving in an advanced midfield role after he was moved inside from an unfamiliar left-midfield spot.

In fact he was voted 'player of the month' twice in the season's early months in an online poll run by Wolves.

His good work often goes unnoticed but for effort, commitment and running there are few better in the Championship.

Found the net four times in total, which would surely have been higher had he not missed 10 weeks of the campaign with a broken foot, a period in which he was sorely missed and Wolves' play-off challenge petered out.

Jackett recently said of the Welshman: "Since I've been here there's an overlap between him playing and us getting a winning formula.

"He's a good player to have around, he can lead on the pitch, his attitude is fantastic."

Every Wolves fan will hope he makes Chris Coleman's Wales squad for the Euros this summer.

After returning to fitness two weeks earlier than expected, his dedication to club and country is unquestionable.

Appearances: 29

Goals: 4

Highlight: Magnificent in the 3-2 win over Fulham in January, constantly winning back possession and carrying it forward.

Season in a word: Workhorse

Just 12 appearances, but the quite stunning impact he made makes him worthy of a place in this list.

In all he produced no fewer than eight assists in what was a remarkably prolific spell.

It was a surprise not to see him involved in pre-season, but Jackett chose to keep Graham on a leash and make him earn his place in the team.

A productive loan at Oxford got him up to speed and Graham carried that form into the Championship, so much so he was being linked with Premier League clubs after just a few weeks in the first team.

Handed the responsibility of taking set pieces from his debut (at Ipswich) onwards, he produce endless on-the-money deliveries.

His crosses were of a ridiculously high standard, defenders didn't known which way he was going to turn and he had a mean shot on him too.

Wolves have endured horrendous luck with injuries this season but Graham's absence has been most keenly felt.

If he makes the full recovery he appears to be on his way to doing, Wolves will have a fantastic weapon in their armoury next season.

Appearances: 12

Goals: 1

Highlight: Ran riot on so many occasions but the day he scored his first goal at Charlton - followed by Wolves scoring a second from his corner - stands out.

Season in a word: Explosive
