That may well be true, but for me it's an unhappy coincidence that we are book ended by Levi and Jones, two blokes that for me suffer from the same ills - honest, ordinary players who stay on our list for too long, and who deliver the odd cameo performance in a general mass of mediocrity. Players on which the club spends time, money and resources, which IMO, is out of proportion to any perceived improvement. Every club has them - an example for me would be Ryan Schoenmakers - 9 completed seasons, roughly 100 games, in and out of the side for various reasons, mainly I feel because better option exist. Unfortunately for us, our 2 Schoenmakers are vital components in our starting 18, not bit players, playing arguably the two most important positions. And that's a huge problem right there.
