    our squad!

    Name:  1504215428347c177fc8545e896ef3a2f52c37a80de4ae1ae3ec2c50b7e438a1a7ce44d3126cec7265cc44f6bd3bfb01.jpg

    nust looking at our squad here. courtesy of NUFC.COM
    we have 29 players with squad numbers on that list. woodman and Barlaser don't count as they are under 21. Lazaar has left.

    so we have 26 players to make up our 25.

    considering Haidara, Colback and Saivet have already been told they aren't wanted (so it's a fair bet one of them will be 26th man)
    that realistically gives us a squad if 23....

    now that 23 includes Gamez, who we know is rarely (if ever) going to play, so we drop to 22.

    18 players MUST be used every game. we already have numerous injuries and suspensions.

    does anybody at all think this squad will get us through to January unscathed?

    but it's ok, it's Rafa's fault for not shipping out the crap, and for wanting players too expensive for big mikes empty bank account.

    it seems to me that every year, twice a year, I feel this low!

    Aug 31st and Jan 31st.

    I really need to reign in my delusions and expectations.

    Dear Me!!!

    Krul gone too now.

    Show's a massive difference... Chris H still at the club at Brighton, Rafa went home at 16:00.

    But hey, how can we expect to match the ambition of a club like Brighton...

    We still loan Lazaar out even when the Southampton deal collapses, The whole transfer window stinks. If Gayles hamstring go's again what will we do ?

    The fact that we don't have a proper LB is a disgrace.

    It was one of the things that Rafa wanted to correct when we went down. Lazaar or Gamez was supposed to be the fix but neither of them managed to make them number one - which says alot.

    A very good call.

    Gamez i think has to be Rafa's personally.
