John Sheridan was the best player I ever saw outside the top flight. He was the reason I started going watching footy again in the mid 80s. Head and shoulders above everyone else, a joy to watch with his vision and skill.... yet was very ordinary in the top division (despite what wikipedia might say!). Other players such as Batty and Strachan performed just as well in both divisions.

I don't think it's just down to speed/fitness, but it's one of the major factors. Akinfenwa, i suspect, might be a handful and score at any level (outside the premier league) even though he's a slow coach.

I reckon we may be a bit too slow/lightweight through the spine of the team..... would love to see that bolstering.

If anyone can, Coley can.
