Yes, good foot soldiers are important to support to the top players in the sides. Good, solid foot soldiers all the way down to player 22 makes you a very good side. That's what we lacked between 2009-12 when talking about our bottom 6 or 7. Makes a difference. The cream got us up there, the bottom 6 or 7 held us back.
