Hope I’m wrong but I’d say it was the club who are extremely naive.
We know we are threadbare and inexperienced in defence but let’s have a look at midfield.
Experience in Colclough, Eisa & Gilliead, fair enough. But then we have a host of similar, yet to prove themselves, youngsters. Dales, Hallam, Beestin, Vincent, Spence, Hornshaw and Pugh. Seven basically chasing one position. Surely it would have made more sense to cut that seven down to 3/4 and bring in a bit of experience.
Similarly the forwards. KvV is (was) our go to striker with McAtee his obvious replacement. But who partners him? Jarvis, Olomola, Green, Mooney, Silva? Again, seven players chasing two positions.
A balanced squad it ain’t. If Eisa was given shirt number 11 then I doubt we were looking to sell. So if the OP has any credence then perhaps it’s because the club has realised we have a platoon of rookies but no sergeant major!
