I see your point entirely and agree they're the most "locked in" - I just think there will be rotation. And definitely dips in form. I'd be massively surprised if O'Nien and Ballard spent the entire season as first choice centre back, even if neither got injured. Seelt will push them.
Likewise Roberts and Clarke with Aouchiche. I'm confident there will be games they're rotated out for him. Even Neil and Ekwah will need a rest and we will need to find a way to accomodate that.
Exactly mate and we now have 2 strikers aswell just signed. Its like a dream
