Sure, you want good players everywhere. But you can get by with Hamling, Roberts, Cordy in peripheral roles. Key midfield roles you can't skimp.
We've done it backwards. We've gone for a blue chip defence with a workmanlike midfield.

With that said I was surprised we threw another first round pick on Doedee, although I have some hope he will develop further up the ground. If he doesn't then yes I agree we end up too top heavy with 1st rounders in defence.
What can't be denied however is that the root cause of our issues is leadership and an abject failing of senior players to lead from the front. The club is complicit in this failing with selection policy.
