I don't think there is much between the two teams as Brad Potts, Pinnock, Davies, Bradshaw, Mcgeehan, Yiadom and Moore are all playing to a reasonable level.
If we lose players so be it but I can see a progression. These players will be sold for more and that builds the profile of the players coming in. The only thing that's held us back is relegation in 2018 as those players all kicked on afterwards.
Maybe what is happening now would have sooner but for Heckingbottom and Morais which both equally contributed to our relegation.
