The highest level has the most athletic and most skillful players of all. This is where the players need time to acclimatise and adapt as we are a passing and possession based team.
There are a number of players who have played in the EFL before, but some have not for a few seasons. These players will be the leaders and guides for those who haven't. Senior players such as McGoldrick, Bostock, Chicksen, Slocombe, Brindley and JOB. Plus the younger group of Jones, Palmer, Morias, Crowley, Randall and Stone.
Then you've got the group who have limited EFL experience whether it be one season, the odd appearance or loans which include Rawlinson, Scott, Cameron, Baldwin, TAR, Bajrami and Austin
Then there are those who have never played in the EFL before this season such as Langstaff and Nemane along with the two promoted youth players Lucien Mahovo and Luther Munakandafa.
They've all been rewarded for their loyalty and for getting the club to the EFL. Let's give them time, patience and the chance to prove they can do it at this level.
