Despite an excellent transfer window we will end up with no experienced cover for or pressure on SWP, Ireland and Barry.
We have 23 first teamers until January including a reserve goalkeeper and three not currently available through long term injury - RSC, Kompany & Johnson. It's unlikely that Garrido & Petrov will get many starts - so effectively that's just 17 players - 11 to play and 6 for the bench.
If we have reasonably good Cup runs we will actually play roughly the same number of games as if we were in the Europa League and didn't.
Our squad may be high quality but it is too small.

I don't really mind Benji staying around to be honest,....as long as he doesn't play regularly that is,....guy is always smiling, never heard of him moaning about the big boys coming in and lack of games,...let him sit on the bench and give him a couple of 20 minute appearances in games that are in the bag.....

Calm down mate, there's more than enough players in our squad and don't forget we can also recall any of our loan players if injuries hit hard.

Give me 20 minutes every now and then and I'll be smiling, no laughing, as well. I don't even need to get paid.

You wouldn't be smiling if you saw the review of your performances on here.

I disagree. Kompany said on TV last week that he is a month away from being in contention. Johnson is even further away from match fitness. We can't recall players from season-long moves and we have no cover for crucial midfield areas.
Let's hope we get lucky with injuries.

I thought Leslie said Kompany well before the end September and don't forget we don't play again for nearly a frotnight. Dougie's training report said that Crocky is close to getting in the squad and Johnson's in advance of him so I think you're fretting about nowt mate.
Oh and we do have one of the best reserve teams in the country you know.

That 20 mins when the game "is in the bag" should be given to someone who has a future at this club, ie one of the youngsters, not some old never has been.
