We could have been a lot worse off if the players were pushed to breaking point and became injured, forcing some of the players you mention to be replaced by the others mentioned for longer periods of time.
All teams drop silly points. Stockport, the champions elect dropped a fair few in the opening couple of months. It happens. It’s the beauty of the sport we watch and love. David has a chance v Goliath.
My point is that our recruitment this year has not been as good as some may think... If Wootton got injured, would you be happy with Mitchel in his place. Or if Palmer got injured, would you be happy with Brunt in his place.. Likewise, Nemane replacing Roberts...I dread to think...
