HendoBrogue not sure im buying this small squad stuff, how do we compare in squad size to the rest of the champ? when I created the poll for player of the season 20 players had played over 10 games for us this season. not including southwood odin tetek. these are genuine first team players not youngsters.
We have only used 25 players this season, which is the lowest of any team in the league. Which would point to a pretty small squad size and also may point to one of the reasons why we've run out of steam at the end of the season.
EDIT - apparently this also includes Tetek, Watson, Azeez and Onen, none of whom have started a game, and Araruna who played twice this season. With the number of injuries we've had, we've been rolling with a squad of ~16 for most of the season.
So yeah, small squad for sure.
I was gonna say... 25 players is a bit large for a squad really. Should be about 23 with some Academy back up.
In some ways our injury situation has been improved that we've only had one player effectively out for the season from one injury...
Remember the days of having multiple people out for 6 to 18 months?
But we've had a lot of up to 3 months and several players have been out several times, which is probably worse than normal
