............ but almost every player regressed under Smith
So:
Josh Sargent regressed so much he become one of the USA’s successes in the World Cup
Onel Hernandez regressed so much he revived his Norwich career and earned himself a new contract
Liam Gibbs and Sam McCallum regressed so much they broke into the first team
Gabriel Sara regressed so much he ended up Player of the Season
Kenny McLean regressed so much the club couldn't resist rewarding him with a new contract
Angus Gunn regressed so much he displaced Tim Krul as first choice keeper and ended up capped for Scotland
Young loanee Aaron Ramsey regressed so much that Michael Bailey was driven to complain in The Athletic that "Ramsey was one of Norwich’s and the Championship’s most creative players over the first half of the season, scoring three goals and making three more, and [curtailment of his loan] will represent a blow to their faltering play-off hopes".
That's more than a third of the core of the 2022-2023 first team squad who clearly didn't "regress" at all.
 
Sara absent again? Otherwise that's practically full strength for the new season, assuming Aarons and Omobamidele leave.

And if it is practically full strength for the new season, how do you feel about that ,DH? Genuine question here, I promise, no wind up: Do you feel optimistic?

Sainz also absent and the transfer window isn't closed? Perhaps you meant "the start of the new season"?
 
Sara is out on the pitch. Might he get some minutes later?

Edit: Answer = No!, not named as a sub.

I agree that's my choice of full strength, assuming Aaron's and Omobamidele leave, though the choice between Rowe, Placheta and Tzolis is pretty close.
