Rasmus is not as good as Burgess, so we are worse of in central defence. Midfield is the same as it was but we're playing better tactics enabling Naylor to score more (he's always been our best central midfielder),the rest of our central midfield is the same - poor to average. Attack wise we're the same as last season although to be fair that could change as we haven't we haven't had time to judge Hiwula ( not sure if we will) and Jacobs. Maybe we're not worse/weaker than last season (except at CB) but surely the whole idea is to improve the squad ( which i don't think we have-yet) not stay stagnant. Of course I'm pleased with our results and league position ( who wouldn't be?) which i believe is due to playing 442, and not under achieving as we have done the last 2 seasons due to Jacketts stubbornness in insisting on 4231.
Do you really think Whatmough is worse than Burgess ??? IMO he is better and first choice backup Rasmus is better than last years first choice backup Downing. We are better at CB, we are better at FB because by any measure Johnson is better then Bolton. We are conceding fewer goals per game so the defence is proven to be better.
You agree we are better in MF, and earlier you seemed to agree we are better up front.
We are better than last year on paper and we are doing better on the pitch. We are in the top 2, what more evidence do you want ?
