Quote ="knockersbumpMKII"When Radford dropped Miller and Crooks we lost significantly more games without them which meant we were on the verge of relegation, given how shambolic London were and how Bradford were skullf'kd + giving up hope at the back end, we were effectively 1 point from being relegated. It made a LOT of difference without them in the side, the win ratio was still better with them from the awful 2014 season than it was for 2015.'"
I believe your talking about a different era. Your essentially not comparing apples with apples here. The squad depth in 2018 is significantly better now and we no longer hinge so greatly on single players. My perception at least. Also, the "team" seem to be a tighter and more professional unit, imo. While losing Watts will have an impact, we have a good level of cover and I personally don't think it's going to make the vast difference some people think it will.
Time will tell I suppose. Although, the problem with this kind of thing is the next game we loose, it will be "If Watts had being on the field..." etc. Truth is we would not know if what happens next would be different with or without Watts. It just is what it is. We move on.
