Did not realise we had such a big squad, i know the likes of maynard is injured and earnie and etien will not get a sniff but still a decent size squad. Who would have thought ten years ago we would have a squad like this yet some can not even make the bench so there sat in the stands, so hopefully we will not suffer the lack of players crap we had last season come may and continue the form we have been in of late :malky: :malky:

Taylor
Hudson

That squad is more than big enough to see us through to promotion or it should be

There is cover in every position

nothing wrong with wanting more (better) players,lets say for instance Charlie Austin was to sign in Janurary.Bring him in and sell Rudy.
Our squad size is perfect but if we have the chance of better we must go for it.Cant stand still :ayatollah:

I have to agree, although theres better players out there this squad can take us up IMO :ayatollah:

What I like the most about the squad we have is the versitility of some of our players, for example Bellamy smith and mason can all play striker/winger. Then you have kimbo winger/central midfield. You can look at the defenders, taylor LB/LM also connely RB/CB even with gunnarson he a midfielder but has played RB.

That for me shows the strength that we have in the squad and I believe thats something malky looks for in a player
