Sigh. Obviously, players cannot be skills-free. I really did not think that people on here would get so very super-literal.
Clearly, there are basic levels of competency: trapping the ball, accuracy in passing, not gifting possession, grit, determination and a little vision.
Anyone two players like that in the first team might have seen us into the top half this season. They do not need to be world-beaters.
For me, the very worst thing about this last year has been the loss of possession through unforced errors.
Most other ills – of which there have been more than a few – stem from that.
