I don't think the gap, on an individual level has changed all that much.

Some of our players would be OK in the Prem, I think the issue is that they wouldn't get much of a chance as they are stigmatised instantly for having played at a lower level.

If you could somehow change everyone's perception and put, say JR into a Prem team as a newly signed Croatian or Dutch Man and give him 10-15 games I think he'd be OK, If he had an off day he'd be 'adjusting to the English game. As a Championship player i don't think he'd get this.

A good player who can - beat a man - or pick a great pass, or finish well, will still have these abilities, it is just a case of adapting and adjusting to a dif style of football.

Outside of the top 5 or 6, (who are on a different level in terms of hoovering up the very best from around the world) I don't think there's such a massive gulf as perceived.

How often do we see Prem teams come down, keep the majority of their squad together, yet still plummet down
