Wouldn't disagree. I don't think we'll be long in the PL if either/both have many starts in midfield next seasons.
I worried about our lack of athleticism when we came up from League One and it was one thing Tufty addressed after our first season last Summer/Jan but I really worry next season...
The key is the role that they play in Midfield. There is a great stat which the star have reported on which shows our ball retention, we didn't give the ball away.
I may be wrong, but I am under the impression that Lundstram doesn't give the ball away that much when he plays (Maybe Blades Analytics can jump in on this one and provide some background.
I'm not sure on Basham's midfield stats, but i don't think he keeps the ball well in midfield and he also doesn't suit that role as he's much more effective in other roles.
I'd like to see us add more quality to the midfield, but i don't see that as being at the expense of Lundstram.
