I only watched 3 games before 1983/1984 season, so didn't really see Horton. Not sure that Mortimer in 1986 was a better midfielder for us than Kayal is now! Case, hmmm, I'll give you that one!
So 7 of the best 10 championship players are strikers, and it features no players from the only unbeaten team in the league sitting joint top, including arguably the best central midfielder I have seen in my 35 years following the club, and there isn't much to argue about?
The opinions of people who have earned a living in the game are always going to be courted but that's because it's meaningless asking the opinion of someone you've never heard of. But this article just proves what a crock of shìt they often spout. A lazy lack of research is just that...
I don't disagree with the thrust of your post, but can you tell me how being an ex-pro from a decade ago somehow makes his opinion more valid? Football isn't rocket science. Anyone who has ever played the game can formulate an opinion on players.
You're clearly wrong. The fact that he last played in the Premier League over a decade ago is no indicator of his expertise of Championship players now. For all we know, he's been sitting on a beach in the intervening years.
