He probably could walk into Watford's team tbf. And probably Brentford, and maybe a few others.
His body breaks playing Championship football, he goes missing whilst playing Championship football. What have you seen to suggest he can do it consistently in the Premier League? Genuine question.
8 less games and the advantage of being a smaller fish in a bigger pond means you are less likely to be targeted with heavy tackles.
Last Sea we were the most fouled team weren't we? Players like Swift, Olise and Ejaria are less common in the Champ so are hit harder. Lots of "flair" players in the Prem I guess.
Also, because of squad depth in the PL, more likely to rest him if he feels a niggle, as his replacement is less likely to be an untried Academy player. I think the relentless Tuesday Saturday Tuesday nature of the Championship does him no favours.
