I think the rest was balanced and well argued too, in the sense that it shows that:

a) These types of imbalances aren't uncommon

b) You haven't looked into the full picture this season

c) You've only mentioned this potential issue when it goes one way

d) Even if there are "imbalances" in recruitment, there isn't a problem with it anyway because these players have rightly been signed based on their footballing attributes, just as they were in 2017-18 when those wonderful players took us up

Kevin Nolan doesn't know what he's talking about either

The irony of the most sneery poster on here levelling that criticism at someone else. You don't know what you're talking about. Player recruitment doesn't work on aesthetic factors.
