Championship sides

If the Town don’t get 2 proven Prem CB’s as a bare minimum then we will exceed Sheffield Uniteds s
Abject total of goals conceded. Chaplin Broadhead Leif Davies may prove able to step up to the required level but the pace of the Prem is so much higher than needed in the Championship. Talk of Nketiah is the right idea but without a secure base the Town have no chance next season. Robson got Alan Hunter and was able to develop Kevin Beattie and then Terry Butcher and Russell Osman. Mick Mills was a solid defender and Paul Cooper was an astute addition. I see no one in the current defence coming close to that standard and an inability to keep clean sheets will mean a season of misery. Double promotion is a fantastic achievement but means there hasn’t been a natural development of quality. McKenna will certainly get the best out of what players he has but he basically has a Champioship level squad. Minimum of 6 signings/loans needed. It may be the club take the attitude that we’ve over achieved and accept we are likely to get relegated but build quality slowly with a view to get promoted again in 25/26. WBA did this successfully a while ago and were able to survive for several seasons. The Towns recruitment process will be tested in a way it hasn’t for many years. Brighton and Brentford need to be the models followed but both those had much better defenders than the Town currently have.
