Mangala wasn't even part of the promotion team. Neither Worrall nor McKenna have been good enough to make any meaningful impact and Cook is struggling in the league below. I loved that championship season as much as the next person, but to suggest those players would be better for us is just fantasy.Worrall, Mangala for starters. Worrall as club captain and dressing room presence, Mangala because we didn't need to replace him.
Johnson may have stayed if we didn't need to sell. Hard to say whether we wouldn't have cashed in though.
Then maybe we could have pushed harder on Garner. Maybe we could have kept Cook or McKenna as backup considering Felipe and Boly have struggled to remain fit.
All 6 or 7 of those players would have been decent options for us still. Maybe not star players but part of a healthy squad.
It's a fair question too, the squad doesn't have anywhere near the desire and work ethic that promotion squad did or even our squad from last year. It's a major contributing reason as to why we're at risk of relegation.
