Dru Yearwood

I'd expect most League 1 teams to beat most MLS teams. It's good that Yearwood has found his level in the MLS but can't help but be slightly disappointed that he didn't develop into a top EFL player as he had bags of natural ability.

I think the standard is a bit better than that. Most rankings/comparisons I’ve seen have MLS sides ahead of most League 1 sides e.g. https://www.globalfootballrankings.com/compare?first=EnglishLeagueOne&second=MajorLeagueSoccer

FWIW attendances in MLS are on a par with the Championship.

Probably somewhere on the Championship/L1 boundary as a whole from watching it with large disparities between the top players and the squad players.

this is the thing. MLS teams are typically 2-3 marquee players supported by a very average squad. The play is very slow, often because the marquee players are reaching the end of their careers... which is why I think L1 teams would have a good chance against them.

Even so, Dru’s probably been happier living in New York and playing against the likes of Messi every so often than playing for Burton Albion.
 
Watched Druuuuuuuu come off the bench for Nashville as a late sub in a 3-1 defeat to New York City. The standard really is diabolical and it was game over long before he came on, but he looked decent compared to the shambles that was his team.
 
Really sad to see his career stall so much. He was absolutely magic under Powell and was only about 18. I remember telling people he was going right to the top and I really thought he would. Has he had a bad injury or something along the way?

Seems pretty settled in the US, so hopefully he gets something sorted soon. If he does come back to the UK, I wouldn’t be against offering to let him train with us, even if just for fitness. Highly likely he’ll have his sights set higher up the pyramid, but by all accounts he’s a really nice lad, so would be nice to look after one of our own.

I doubt he's playing at a higher level than us for re. standards. Third tier of US football. Reserve team football. Might even be a lower standard.
