Grimes would be replaced. It would be the most important position in the team to recruit for. Sunderland have done it well buying Xhaka.

I suppose that is true but Grimes has the capability to play in the prem imo, and I think we’d go for more of a double pivot with a quality 6 next to him meaning MvE isnt limited and can continue contributing to our attack as we’d need an extra man back as you’re more likely to get punished in the PL

He's not getting any younger. Id suspect we would go with a real proven calibre captain on their way down in their career.

I loved Kelly in L1 & L2, she Championship was beyond him really. Similarly I love Grimes for where we are, but hes not a PL player.

If we went up the only players capable of starting are Rudi, Wright, Grimes, MvE and probably not all 4 will be starters as well.
Dovin could potentially if he comes back in the vein of form he was in prior to his injury, Tats, EMC and Torp would be good squad players. 100% 2 new CBs, a LB, CM, LW and RW would be needed for the starting 11 and potentially another GK, CM and ST to add to it, thats not even thinking about the squad players I make that 6 to 9 new starting players we’d need

Woolf has premier league experience. Even if that experience was getting relegated. Its still more than any other player in our squad right now. I can see him getting in the starting 11 sooner rather than later, and he'll make that position his own.

Some sky blue tinted glasses on this thread. Grimes and Torp have the technical ability but are far too slow for the PL. It's not the 90s any more.

JDS, love him, a great player. EPL unlikely but you never know.
However, Saturday will be a massive test for him and I worry it will be back to all the shit he gets on here if he is less than perfect against probably the best right winger in the Championship.
In advance remember, even Stuart Pearce was taken to the cleaners on occasion.

I think Dovins achilles heel is he doesn't really come to collect crosses so I doubt if he would be a starter in the prem at this point, in the prem you definitely need goalkeepers to collect the ball and relieve pressure

I don't think that's true.

He played a big part in our first season back up, and dragged us over the line in the first playoff season.

He wasn't a top-end championship player, but he could certainly perform at that level. He's still one of the best midfielders we've had in recent times for protecting the defence, and that's gold in a weaker team.

Kelly was outstanding in the final run in for the first playoff season

Think he also drove standards massively. One of the best servants to this club coming all the way from league two to within a penalty shootout of the premiership.

I'm really starting to think it's more than a calf pproblem. If its his shoulder he'll be out for a long time. Has he been seen around?

We have the best attacking midfielder in the division missing. And arguably the 2nd best too not started last few games.

Who wouldnt miss them.

Also arguably the most underrated midfielder in the championship in Eccles.
