Assuming we manage to scrape into the play-offs and joy of joys win promotion - who do you think in the current squad is good enough for a CCFC championship challenging squad and who isn't?
Christie, Edge, Adams could be decent Champ players
Bailey, Moussa already are.
Cant think of anymore.
Edj gets exploited too often in L1... He'd get crucified in the Championship.
Edj is a legend on twitter, but, he isn't a good defender, sorry to have to break everyone's heart...
For his first experience of English football I think he is doing well, and only 25. All the essentials to be a top player are there, unlike some of the others.
100% good enough:
murphy
adams
bailey
moussa
baker
whilst
jennings
fleck
elliott
christie
thomas
mcsheffrey
bell
could probably do a job too.
As much as i love his effort/commitment, have you not watched Carl Baker play prior to this season? We have had him for 3 years, and at 30 years of age will never be a top Championship player.
This list staggers me. Sky Blue tinted glasses i guess!
Bailey, Moussa, Adams and Thomas. After that there are a few maybes and not much else.
The idea though that players (like Barton and Fleck) who struggle a bit at this level will play better at a higher level is a myth. You don't get more time on the ball the higher you go, you get less time to show off your silky skills and the game becomes much faster.
A few teams have gone up and stormed championship though, these players with the confidence of promotion behind them should do ok.Most of our current squad are League 1 players, the gulf between leagues in huge. I fear for the likes of Macca, Woody and Baker in the Championship.
I will no doubt get dogs abuse for this.
Baker, Fleck, Murphy, Adams, Barton, Bailey.
Moussa. Cody Bell
Yes Baker and Cody have tried before however they clearly have the ability and skill for that level.
For me it is a case if right attitude confidence and playing in the right position formation and playing regularly
Those boys have the natural ability for that level
Others may have the right mind set and work ethic but lack the ability of these players.
