I beg to differ. Any one who has played football at any level knows that there are some players who are gifted with skills far beyond the average. The only mitigating factor is temperament. All this talk of they being more suited to a higher level is manager speak / gobshite / rhetoric.

It’s obviously opinion, but I played to a decent level and centre midfield and enjoyed it much more at the higher level than I did playing against low standard opposition who gave you no time on the ball and couldn’t play themselves.
I suppose it depends on what type of player you are, but players like crew, close, etc in my
Opinion are better suited to a higher standard than league 2

Almost as if you're saying the squad should've been constructed with two eyes getting out of the division first. In your opinion dickos1 how many of our squad aren't suitable for league 2  in the way you suggest?

I’m talking about a specific type of player!

Looking over your past posts dickos I think we might well have played against one another in our youth or competed unwittingly for the same midfield berth (Doncaster Boys?) whatever, I agree with you in as much as ‘good players’ become ‘better players’ playing at either a higher level or with/against better opposition.

Brian Stock was ‘stand out’ in midfield in Lg1. In the Championship he was sublime.

Do I think his ‘ghosting’ past players, his vision, his ‘cleverness’ on the ball & his shooting prowess would have made him a ‘stand out player’ in Lg2?

Absolutely.

Class is absolute.

Maybe mate,
What’s your name?
