    Because we have an handful of decent Championship players..........don't get the impression that when they play in League 1 that they will continue to play as though they are from a higher league.
    Because in general this doesn't happen.

    Remember when we were relegated from the Premiership........we had probably two teams in that squad which we thought would cut it in the Championship.
    But they didn't.

    Players such as Cranie, Steele, O'Grady and Jennings are very likely to play like League 1 players when they play in League 1.

    Ashley Ward?

    We'd have gone straight back up if we'd kept Wilson and Redfearn.

    Wasn't Jennings MK Dons best player when he was on loan there?

    Quite how you've come to that conclusion, I don't know. They play to the best of their ability, whatever level that is.

    I don't know where you've got this idea from. Jennings was great for MK Dons, Dawson was Leyton Orient's player of the year & captain.

    I think it's safe to say some clubs struggle as there's a losing mentality built in at the club after been ***** for so long but I don't think you'll see individuals performance levels dropping.

    If their levels drop, we're ******.

    But in any case, I don't expect to see many of em still here next season. Thankfully.

    Wolves didn't have many problems getting the team playing in League 1.
