Bologna has one of the youngest squads in Serie A so if Patel is using them as a template the direction of travel with regard to the age of the squad is obvious. If Phillips leaves this summer he will be the last of the Pulis era players to leave the club and since then the club has consistently had one of the oldest squads firstly in the Premier League and is now the oldest in the Championship. For the better part of a decade we have gone for experience and frankly it has left us a bloated wage bill, a squad which because of its age and bloated wages we would struggle to give away and without constant renewal just gets worse year on year.
It is not that the collective experience stands us in good stead when the chips are down, this weekend being a case in point. Not a single player in that starting line up had less than 100 senior appearance yet they played like startled rabbits. I think we need to at least consider an alternative and hopefully Patel will steer the club in that direction.
