The Long Awaited Accounts....

There's no leader at the back.
No pace in the team.
No leadership.
No guile or creativity.
No height.
The midfield 3 are all pretty poor on the ball.

There's very little chance that team would be top 6.

It would piss top 6, look at the Albion squad, it's shit and yet they are strolling that division.

It also assumes we wouldn't add 3 or 4 players.

Heard the exact same thing last time and look at how that worked out.

We got promoted.

Who of the current Championship sides is fielding a better 11 than that? And as Ads says, that's before we add anyone else.

[Steve67]

Heaton, Guilbert, Targett will be absolutely fine in the Championship, Hause, Engells and Konsa too.  Luiz, Nakamba, Hourihane and Hopefully SJM will be a decent midfield.  Samatta and Wesley will be fine.  We know El Ghazi is better in the Championship, Trezeguet probably.  Two or three new signings or loans and we should be top 6.  Fortunately, we ain't there yet and have a fighting chance of staying up.

After three years...

As I've said before the problem last time was that we went down with a whimper (thanks to black) and then we ripped the squad and coaching teams to bits and suffered exactly as we have this year by looking an incoherent mess for a long time because we had no team spirit or understanding of how to play together.

That's why keeping as much of the dsquad as we can and just making a couple of key additions would be the right thing to do (and will also be the right thing to do when we stay up and this conversation becomes irrelevant).

That team was truly awful. Yes some were saying we would come straight back up but most new it would take years. I’d be far more optimistic this time if we go down.

Of course Tyrone at 6'5" & Engels at 6'4" are both short in height

And you can add the likes of O’Hare, Louie Barry, Valisev (?) Ramsey etc

Maybe just maybe you might want to scroll up.

Although three of those are totally unproven.

Fair point, but, everyone has to start somewhere.
I think that O’Hare and Barry could actually make a breakthrough, even if we stay up, in cup games.
