Most notable among them has been the form of Jon Shaw, signed from Burton in the summer transfer window and now a firm favourite with the Shay faithful.
After making his debut in a 1-1 draw at Oxford, Shaw marked his second appearance with a double in front of the television cameras as the Shaymen won 3-2 at Stafford Rangers.
From then on he was a crucial cog in the side and never really stopped scoring, going on to bag 20 league goals for the first time in his career.
The longest he went without finding the back of the net was five matches and he still finished the campaign with an average better than a goal every other game.
His call-up to the England C squad, announced this week, was fully deserved.
If Shaw was the outstanding individual, Simon Heslop was not too far behind him.
He arrived, initially on a three-month loan from Barnsley, and scored in two of his first four games including an absolute screamer in the 3-2 win away to Stevenage.
His stay was extended to the end of the season in January, although Chris Wilder was keen to make it a permanent switch.
The powers that be at Oakwell simply could not afford to let him go such was his form at the Shay and now he is back in South Yorkshire.
Anthony Griffith also made his mark on a season-long loan from Doncaster Rovers, showing real versatility as he switched effortlessly from midfield to full back.
He was one of the form players at the end of the campaign after a tricky spell in the last couple of months of 2007 when he was sent off three times - twice for reckless challenges.
After he returned from his third dismissal, following a lunging challenge against Farsley at the Shay on new Year's Day, he was booked just once.
It was a real turnaround and his reward is a place back in the Football League after he joined Lee Sinnott's Port Vale this week.
Jake Wright can also be happy with his return to form, having been in and out of the side in the first half of the campaign.
There were also neat little cameos from Craig Nelthorpe, on loan from Doncaster and Huddersfield's Tom Clarke, who spent a month with Town.
By the final few games the defender was one of the shining lights in the successful battle to beat the drop.
Several players have seen their campaigns ruined by injury.
Rob Scott was really getting into his stride at the back when he broke down with an Achilles problem and missed the final three months of the campaign.
Andy Campbell got five goals in the opening five matches, but for the second season running spent far too long on the sidelines for his own liking.
And Danny Forrest spent four months out of the first team picture with a knee injury that simply refused to clear up.
Three players expected to be big players in Wilder's squad missing for big chunks of games.
