I chose the ones who played most often, obviously not the whole squad

What would be the point in assuming Watkins, Franke or Husband were typical of that season? And what would be the point of comparing them with someone who hasn’t played this season?

It was just an observation. There was a lot of optimism pre-season, which is good. But so far it’s not been well founded.
