I am not panicking and we have some very winnable games next, however it is clear that we struggle against the press and also teams of quality. If you take our first team from yesterday and add Buendia and include the subs, how many are really PL Quality? Here are my thoughts:-
Krul (Y), Aarons (Y), Hanley (C) (N), Gibson (M), Sorensen (M), Skipp (Y) (Vrancic 57' (N)), Rupp (N) (Idah 57' (M)), Cantwell (M), McLean (N), Placheta (N) (Hernandez 57' (N), Pukki (N)
Y is a PL Quality Player, M is maybe and N is a No. https://9apps.ooo/
2 Ys and one Y loan (Skipp) as he wont be with us if we go up. Buendia is a Y too. So thats 4 PL level players. 3 Maybes and one Maybe with an option to buy (Gibson).
Placheta isnt even Chump standard IMO. The new LB likewise at present. 3 Maybes and one loan Maybe. Maybe harsh on Mclean but he didnt step up last time.
We have a long way to go to gain automatic promotion and we certainly are not a PL side in waiting.
