Smallest squad in entire football league ?

[MILLERSTALE]

Why !

Just 20 fit players, which includes three goal keepers.

Two other players who we may see or may not! Robertson and Jones ?

With both the new players not available tomorrow we won’t even manage a full bench ! Unless we name three goalkeepers.

No back up players available with the loss of Lamy, Hinds, Kayode, Cooper and Grattan !

Why are we playing Russian Roulette ?

6 & 2 thirds really...
People (including me) complained when Evans signed about 58 players .
We get told quality not quantity and folk will complain at that.
I sit in the quality not quantity camp...

Proctor and Beeden are also out on loan. Beeden (and Gratton) are only on one month loans though (I think). Part of the problem is that our reserves don't play many fixtures in their current league, so unless the lads go out on loan, they don't get competitive playing time .Our reserves have had a "winter break" of about 7 weeks!

Rightly or wrongly, Warney obviously has no intention of putting any of the players mentioned in the first team starting eleven at the moment, so the logic is to loan them out. (Hinds has gone anyway)

Crap being top ain’t it?

[pip_y]

I’d rather have what we have now even as a yo-yo club than being in administration/points deduction/high ground rent. We have moved on from those days and are a far better run nowadays. Success comes at a price and we have had success but not the price is not worth paying if we will go bust.

Well said pip

[Pocket rocket]

Crap being top ain’t it?

Exactly pal.
How can we be happy at the moment it’s just garbage.

Yep I count 6 subs today assuming all fit
Price or Bilbo, Lindsey, McDonald, ladapo, Clarke, olasunde. We could have another young lad on the bench e.g. hull who looks decent when I have seen him. It covers all positions but cb. If owt were to happen in the gam3 tho I suppose you could put Thompson at cb and bring on olasunde at right back. Think we can manage for one game.

Yes - put young Hull on the bench if needed. Give him a taste of the first team experience, routine, atmosphere , etc.

We should try to move to a more competitive reserves league anyway, so squad players get more regular matches
