I think that's a very good point. When Fev played Bradford both teams played 4 DR/loan players, and I don't think either team will do that when they have their full complement of players available.

Most Championship teams seem to be running with squads of about 25/26 players, because that's all they can afford, so injuries and suspensions can leave them desperately short - for instance Fev had 8 injuries and 2 suspensions for the Bradford game.The top Championship clubs were getting around £800k central funding a few years ago and now they're reportedly getting about £80k, so it's not hard to see why they are struggling.

Do not buy into fans wanting closer games.We are doing what any team that is hoping to get back to S L should do, prove we are too strong for the Championship and we are while.building a team for the S L. The pack is looking like it is well on the way to be a S L pack but think there is still a job to do to replace Gale and Hood as the young cover we got do not look up to S L standard .One more problem is lack of pace in the centres ,when Pratt is out we struggle for pace .Better to be sorting these problems out in the Championship than do it in S L. Last season we went down that road and failed big time
