I would look more at our long line of experienced EFL professionals. Slocombe, McCrory, Chicksen, Rawlinson, Lacey, Ellis, Doyle, Reeves, O’Brien, Boldewijn, Turner. These are all players who are playing at this level because we’re paying them handsomely, and how many can you say are putting in the stand-out performances that their experience and wages should really warrant? Slocombe, Rawlinson and Lacey is probably about it, McCrory perhaps excused because of injury.

I also think you’re slightly overestimating how good we were last season. I think we were an above average team which was on course to finishing 5th-8th or something until we unearthed Roberts out of nowhere.
This is rambling nonsense tbh. 7 of the ex EFL players you refer to as not earning their wages. This is rubbish. Our club have the best defensive record in this league weve kept loads of clean sheets and Ellis has scored 3 in 6 or 7 games as a CB.
