I don’t buy it. This is all about tactics and man management.
Look at who we’ve signed in the last 2 years. They weren’t good enough for the Premier League, but this squad absolutely should be now.
Proven Championship performers:
Clarke (Sunderland)
Philogene (Hull)
Greaves (Hull)
O’Shea (WBA)
Szmodics (Blackburn)
Nunez (*******)
Akpom (Boro)
Kipre (WBA)
Furlong (WBA)
Ogbene (Rotherham)
Muric (Burnley)
Palmer (WBA)
Townsend (WBA)
No Championship experience, but proven quality:
Walle Egeli
Matusiwa
Cajuste
Sold for profit:
Hutchinson
Delap
None of the above:
Azon
McAteer
Johnson
Young
Button
(excl. Prem loans)

It's less the individuals as the imbalance of the squad: four right backs, no direct cover for Matusiwa or Leif, no working option at 10 and a striker short for the fourth season in a row. |
Are we short of a striker ? The numbers are there it's just that out of five forward playing players they have only three goals between them,
It's sad really but my opinion is we should explore the idea that Azon goes back to his club in January even if it costs a couple of million so that we can open up a place to bring someone in. |  | | |

It’s bad recruitment
What player fits in with the mould of what was stated we needed when bullied like little school boys against Newcastle. Pace and physicality. Apart from hirst not one of our midfield or strikers is above 6ft. Not one of our midfielders or strikers has get past your defender pace.
We have a few that can take on the man and get a few yards from them due their technical ability but beyond that we have recruited a team of mid to high technical players with average pace. We can’t break the lines and we can’t get in behind teams like we used to so will have to rely on battling it out, slogging it out and hope that our possession game gets us enough opportunities to put one away which is proving hard at the moment due to how we lack a clinical cutting edge for what ever reason [Post edited 3 Dec 23:56]

Simon Jordan said that when he spoke to McKenna at the Wardly fight he asked him what the main difference was between the PL and the Championship, McKenna said size and physicality was the difference.
We then go and sign a 5'8 CM.... |  |

I think they are good players, I'm just saying it's bad recruitment if the players and system are not aligned somewhere along the way.
I think recruitment and coaching share the blame. |
Coaching,
This team can tick, |  | | |

No leaders. Bad recruitment. |  |

It’s all about how they work as a team. Take Chappers for example. He was far more productive with us than any other team he’s played for (bar one season for Barnsley that was close to his season in 23/24). Obviously he has to take the chances, but it was the understanding in the team that made it possible. He’d be poor in this team.
It’s all well and good cherry picking top talent, but if we can’t mould them together into a unit we may as well have saved our money. It’s obviously better to have ‘lesser’ players working together than the Harlem Globe Trotters of the Championship working by themselves. |  |

No leaders. Bad recruitment. |
Absolutely agree. Going from a captain like Morsy to one like O’Shea (polar opposites) was a mad decision frankly. We had to get another leader in and we didn’t |  |
