Might there be a risk in then calling out those assembled players, who had the heart to give their all to succeed to then say publicly that they are not good enough for the championship? Technically, I couldn't agree more, but success in staying up isn't just about technique as we showed.
I like what I've seen from Taylor but this worries me. Why say it at all? Why not just go about your business on trying to improve the squad?
The implication is that he can assemble a bunch of players who are technically good enough to succeed at this level without the huge injury inducing effort. But where are these players going to come from? I'm assuming the budget won't change that much, so I was always thinking that a club with our budget will always be reliant on more than great technique, cos those players cosy way more than we can afford to pay and will be coveted by much bigger clubs.
Worrying statement for me (if quoted correctly). But hope he can assemble such a team, I really do.
