The thing is though that they were included in the poll.
Since they were, then clearly people have to assess them differently to other players otherwise they'd get pretty much zero votes.
20 votes for the squad places.
Which means 5 spaces unfilled + an U21 or two to come in.
Rob Hunt may consider himself unlucky to not be in the poll, assuming he's staying, and may be an outside bet for the 9th choice defender role if we only bring 1 in.
