I've just been perusing Owlstalk to see what's exercising the snortbeasts. One thread caught my eye about how they're now on an unstoppable charge towards promotion. To be fair, it starts off light hearted with a fair bit of self mocking. But as it progresses it becomes more serious and the usual misplaced arrogance creeps in.

One poster has the audacity to proclaim that he believes the Millers will be Champions with the truffle diggers finishing in the play offs. He's taken to task, of course, with one chap claiming that come January all these lesser League 1 clubs WITH THEIR PAPER THIN SQUADS will fade away.

"Paper thin squad". It got me thinking about our current squad and I honestly, in all my time supporting RUFC, can't remember such a strong squad. Even Ronnie's great teams were more a case of a brilliant starting 11 with not so much depth. And of course "squads" weren't really a thing back in the halcyon days of the 80/81 championship winning team.

And when you think we only have two loan players as opposed to several over at SWFC and all loans have January recall clauses then I think that they may be deluded in their hope of us fading away. Or am I wrong and being overly confident myself?

Anything can happen of course (injuries, covid, etc) but unless I'm missing something here I wouldn't call us paper thin.

Thoughts?
