Good experience for Robins and his team. Players like COH and Sheaf would have started had they been fit. There’s a good 6-7+ players in the squad that were part of the team last year.
There’s a psychological element to it too, the players who joined know this is a club who were a penalty shootout away from the Prem.
Teams chant ‘where we’re you when you were shit’ and the outside view of our club is that we are team that is likely to get promoted in the next few seasons.
