Burnley shouldn't be the bar because they're the best there has ever been. It's like judging every striker against Mitrovic and Toney.Anal and JLT have certainly got themselves in the history book at the heart of a defence that conceded 100 goals last season both not good enough. Why shouldn't it be the bar? it was with Burnley their success was built on an organised defensive, as ours was until we lost Soutter.
And how can you compare Hammond and Holding together thats ludicrous.Holding needed games just as Soutter did whne he stepped in both Holding and Soutter moved the ball quicker and anticipated situations better than JLT and Anel, that was is plain to see.
I'm not comparing Hammond and Holding. The person I was replying to used Holding's PL history and FA Cup wins to suggest that must make him quality in the Championship. I brought up Hammond to make the point that players can deteriorate.
