If we look across the team I see four main areas that mean our starting eleven doesnt compete in this league:
RWB - Fusire is not good enough at this level. He might be in the future but im not 100% convinced of that.
CB - numbers and availability as opposed to quality perhaps.
CM - really lack any depth. Valery is a useful stand in but he's better served elsewhere.
ST - we have no effective strikers at this level (and I include wide forwards in this). This is why Ugbo gets pelters because unlike other positions, theres no makeshift cover. We're reliant on him and lowe and both have no only been abject theyve seemingly lacked a fight and desire shown by others. I've no idea why Bailey doesnt start every game, which is another reason Ugbo gets comments because his presence in the team, which is no fault of his, means we dont have someone who would put a shift in. He also cost money.
