Honestly how many players do you think we have who are genuinely chanpionship level.
For me I'd personally only say:
Henderson
Diarra
Bauer
Gudmundsson
Watt
Makienok
Cousins
Kashi
Potentially Moussa but have not seen enough of him yet.
It is worrying that even when chosing from our whole squad I cannot pick 11 players who could be competitive in this division. Any names Im missing?

I'd argue Fox, and if not I liked what I saw of THD
Maybe REZA
Reckon Ceballos will turn out to be good
Jacko for 20 minutes before his legs go
Still willing to give Ba and Sarr more chances. Think Bergdich might have blown his - although remember, he almost never plays in his true position
As just said elsewhere, I would maybe start to dispute Cousins
Defenders: Solly ... Bauer ... Diarra ... Fox
Midfielders: Gudmundsson ... Cousins ... Kashi ... Jackson ... Moussa
Strikers: Watt ... Makienok ... Reza
Fox he showed me last night the commitment needed to succeed (the one player who was yelling himself hoarse in the First Half to try and motivate the team around him)
Pope... Know what you mean, but in terms of backup Goalkeepers, I think he's got just enough to make it in that team
To me though Henderson has shown his quality and how much of an impact he has when he comes back. When vetokele came back this season he made little impact. So I guess thats what Im going on.
I think Guy Luzon's approach of ranting his head off in a crouched position is wearing thin and I suspect the squad are tired of listening to this.
I don't know what the solution is, they need to get back together as a team - sports psychologists, team building, clear the air talks behind closed doors?
Think we need to loan 2/3 player (if that's possible) with experience in key positions. It's obvious to everyone else and not our board apparently
We are getting desperate now so Reza or anyone please step up to the plate.

Goes to show that a lot of fans know diddly squat when many moaned that we didnt bother signing him (or quite possibly Shola Ameobi), would have been a huge loss on wages
Probably needs a week or two's rest as he must have played all but one of our league games which he is not used to but is forced into due to mental unbalancing of our squad (see Vet last season).
I have a feeling now Luzon has gone he will be back to his best as well.
Watt is a potential game changer on his day but frustrating as hell when he's off the boil. You get 'luxury' players like this. Look at Ozil at Arsenal. Wenger must of considered dropping him loads of times but it's always in the back of your head that he can turn the game on its arse.
Cousins is a work horse there's no doubt but for me he hasn't got that spark. Don't get me wrong he's solid enough for this level but how many times a season do you come away from a game thinking Cousins run that midfield? He's obviously young and got time to improve and he will under better management I just feel at times he blends in and he's ok with that. He's not a fantastic passing midfielder, or a goal scoring midfielder. He's a worker which is fine but there are dozens of them in this league. Put it this way if he was anything special he would of been bought by now.
Pope for me now he's had his chance. Good shot stopper but that's one of the easier parts of goalkeeping. He's made some howlers this season and they all seem to be the same sort of fumbled goal. Goalkeeper is the hardest position on the pitch I have no doubt but there's a time when you have to learn from your mistakes.
I've never known a player have to do so little to impress you lot like Reza has
