My worry with us is that I genuinely don’t think there’s that many players who are actually that good even at this level. Ok you have Page, but he’s young and JJ (injured) but honestly hand on heart. Are we 100% sure that this team is actually fit for purpose despite the ‘experience’ within it? 

ALL of our fit GK’s are for the majority of their pro careers reserve keepers at whatever level they’ve played at. McCarthy can’t use his feet. A bizarre signing for Martinball. 

At fullback Thomas and Coulibaly are really struggling and we have seen enough to reasonably say they aren’t capable even at this level. Aluko is young but he looks better as a winger and incapable of defending one on ones.

 

Souttar is a back 3 specialist. Not enough mobility to play in a 4. O’Hora looks out of his depth and Okoli a proven liability. Kanga is young and looks promising but very naive at the moment. 
 

In midfield other than the quality of Page, Lundstram looks way off it and his legs may have gone. Braybrooke is quality on the ball but lightweight and can’t defend. Reid/Cullen - utterly anonymous. Chaplin and Smallbone can’t stay fit. Doyle shows promise but lacks explosive pace. 

At winger Alves looks good but very lightweight. Watson unconvincing at best. Howell looks good but lightweight and lacks pace. Burns looks like his legs have gone. 

 

Riis looks useful upfront but Bristric looks like he should be playing for our U21 side. 
 

All in all, a manager with an unconvincing record (a record that doesn’t back up his philosophy) is in charge of a team that is pretty bang average when you list them out. 
 

I think you've summed up the situation perfectly.
