I remember when we had nine or ten more players in the squad than we've got now, but it didn't do us any good. Quite a few them were ageing wage collectors or mythical "ones for the future" who contributed next to nothing and in some cases probably undermined dressing room harmony.
Oh yes didn't that policy get us relegated into non league. A lean mean fighting machine seems to work very well.
