Ian Royal Not a huge difference seeing as Bullard spent most of the season injured and we had a defence, attack and midfield out of form most of the season.
And he certainly wouldn't have stayed after relegation. Unlike Bikey, Rosenior and Cisse.
And was then probably the biggest influence on their revival which saw them stay up whilst we only won 4 games in 2008. I'm willing to bet either he, McFadden or someone of a similar stature could have made 3 goals over the season that would have kept us up and contributed a lot more than our mediocre standard of signings.
Of course we should now be looking for League One standard players on the basis they will stay if we get relegated then?
