Derby Norwich Blackburn Watford Middlesbrough have some quality names on their books and by that players who have been or could do a job in the premiership and therefore that gives them nouse. Not always enough to challenge hence Blackburn but on paper their squads look to have more quality in depth than ours.
Norwich for example Ruddy Redmond Jerome, Howson Grabban Cuellar Hoolihan should all be capable or have been capaable of playing at higher level Derby have Bent Martin,Ince Butland Warnock Blackburn have Rhodes Gestede, Spearing Etuhu Dunn Baptiste Kilgallon, Bora have Kike Bamford Ayala Leadbitter Whitehead and Tomlin Watford have Deeney Anya Vydra Neil and Gomes. These are just random names from their squads but it does show their depth and experience. We have TK Stearman, Doyle Edwards and Ricketts. While I agree Sako Macdonald Dicko and Afobe are quality there are a number of names in the other squads as good if not better or more proven at the higher level. We are where we should be with the quality we have. If we make the play offs we have over achieved. Palace did that a few years ago and it hasnt hurt them
