Then it's shocking they've still not been able to sort it.
Tbf - It's just another one of these things that armchair pundits think is easy to fix but is actually extremely complicated.
Like saying it's "purely a factor of us signing players who are prone to injury"?
That's what I mean though. An ignorant response to it would just be "Well, we need to stop buying players who get injured easily". But obviously that's just the gamble you take when you're entering in a market without the funds to get players with solid playing records.
It's up there with "We just need to get in some bargains from the lower leagues" in terms of overly simplistic, armchair punditry. If any of these players were remotely guaranteed to be decent Championship options then either they would be in the Championship already, or there would be a bidding war for their talent. It's like buying a car - all things being equal, the more you spend, the less risk that it doesn't work out.
