I suspect it’s more to do with budget then what AB see’s in them Bhuna5, good signings in Horton, Ewen , Rose and Howe is doing ok but those new good signings will have probably left the budget on the edge, the players deemed not good enough mentioned are probably what AB had to put up with to make the numbers up. As disappointing as it sounds midtable pre season was a goal most agreed was achievable and this squad when it’s struggling with injuries as it is now will probably only achieve that, good starts don’t always mean great seasons.
