...to prolong their career”

Quote I heard yesterday, and it’s hard to disagree with it.

Joe is right by saying we are the side Hurst would have built had Shrewsbury gone up and he had remained their manager.

It’s hard to see where the goals are going to come from. We diner get enough bodies near Jackson to support him and therefore have to play the balls in the channels for him to chase. Opponents shut down the channels and it’s easy to defend against.

If you don’t score many, you have to be rock solid at the back.... and we’re not - we concede too many easy goals.

We also don’t take care of the ball, and concede possession too easily - see their first goal yesterday and we concede too many set-pieces in dangerous positions, which we then struggle to defend - see their second goal and the two times they hit the woodwork.

None of these are good combinations.

Who are the experienced pros who have dropped down a division to prolong their careers? That describes Walters only who isn't at the club anymore anyway.

It's a laxy sweeping statement that has no truth in it

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Chambers, Skuse, Knudsen, Bart.

Apologies if I didn’t word it very well.... it’s supposed to mean we are a a League 1 side who have a few experienced pros who have dropped to that level to prolong their careers.

That doesn't make it any clearer. Those you've named are Championship players playing Championship football.

Further to that, none of them have played top-flight football. I’m guessing the original point was that Hurst has bought poorly and is shaping us into a League 1 side.
