We all have our opinions on the matter but The News has been keeping a record of each player’s performance levels with the help of our match ratings.
There’s been some reality checks dished out via our score system since the season began, with plenty of fives and sixes handed out as the Blues struggled early doors in the division.
Some might argue even those ratings were generous given the displays against Wigan and Doncaster Rovers – to name but two.
Meanwhile, the odd fan might disagree with Marcus Harness only getting a nine following his magnificent hat-trick against Burton.
Only he and Jack Whatmough have warranted such scores this season, proving that’s there’s room for improvement throughout the team if promotion is to be achieved this season.
So who is hot and who’s not this season so far, with the Blues currently sitting seventh in the table?
Well, let us assist you with the help of our average ratings from the Blues' 10 League One games to date.

1. Ronan Curtis - 5.9
The Irishman has been struggling to capture his best form this season. He's played in all 10 league games to date but only four have seen him play the full 90 minutes. Curtis has scored just the one league goal as well, while has started three games on the bench. (5.9 rating) Photo: JPIMedia
2. Jordan Hiwula - 6
The striker hasn't had much of a chance to show what he can do following his recent arrival on a free. His six-minute cameo against Charlton on Saturday is all we can judge him on so far. (6 rating) Photo: JPIMedia
3. Cameron Pring - 6
The on-loan Bristol City left-back is behind Lee Brown in the pecking order. Has played only 91 minutes of league football so far, with two of his five appearances so far coming in League One. Yet to show the Fratton faithful what he can do, especially going forward. (6 rating) Photo: JPIMedia
4. Bryn Morris - 6.2
Was a first-team regular at the start of the season but has since found himself on the bench after Kenny Jackett looked for solutions following an indifferent start to the league campaign. Morris' last start was against MK Dons on October 10. Has played just two minutes of the League One season since. (6.2 rating) Photo: JPIMedia
