The only flaw with this is we don't know that it happened. It's essentially only a rumour. I believe it's true, but we don't and never will know the full story. Really unfortunate because assuming it is true and he was able to bring in the players identified you can see how strong the team would've been by how those players have developed. 

But again even if the story is true we will never know how those players would have developed with us.

That is true, but shows we’ve recruited DNA that is little match for the DNA of players that left.

..and as importantly, haven’t created any semblance of a team,  just a collection of disinterested, injury-prone journeymen and promoted Academy products that, yet again, fail to step up to the plate.

I’m not so sure the recruitment has been so bad.  If fit (!) we would have had Bentley, Baker, Kalas and Mawson, Sess and Dasilva as a back 5.  That would be the envy of most other teams. We bought one of the leagues top strikers in Wells. It’s the players who knit it all together that we haven’t managed to sign/attract.  I can’t say I have been particularly impressed with any of the opposition players we have faced so I’m not sure there is that sort of quality about.  It’s generally a game of attrition and won by a set piece or mistake.  Most Championship games are pretty dull.

With that in mind, I think Pearson will be effective in recruiting some bigger(physically), rapid and more athletic characters but I doubt it will be pretty.   He will need a dead ball specialist and someone who can bully defenders.  We do not have the luxury of parachute payments and that is a massive difference when you have had zero matchday income for a year.  
 

If I’m honest I just want to see us fighting for every ball and getting the rub of the green because of it.  If we lose some, so be it.  If we have aspirations of going up then we need to match the spending from the parachute mob.  It’s not rocket science.

Just watched his post match interview.

Big Nige impresses me every time I hear him speak. Very candid, says it as he sees it with the occasional hint that he’ll be here next season. - a proper manager,  the first one since Danny Wilson.
