Isn't there some sort of squad cap at 25, too? In which case we have 23...

Don't think so. Other than for chumps league....

Think KA said he wanted a squad of 23/24 plus a few kids. Suppose it depends how many of those in that list are considered squad members or "kids".

Looks to be Chumps League/Prem League rule...thought there may be something similar for EFL...but nowt I can find.

Even by your high standards that's pretty stupid.

[Bruce Rioja]

I bet that young Jaaskelainen's looking forward to starting plenty games. In there like swimwear at 50.

We will see, filling your squad with aged dead donkeys with no pace hardly inspires hope, nor looking at a shit house carthorse who instrumental in last seasons abortion, the bloke likes a bully team who will be out run and out thought and your a dick!

[LeverEnd]

How many defeats til the 'Parky out' thread then?

[Worthy4England]

I'm reckoning someone already has is on "Save as draft"

You're. HTH

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

I don't get the must have pace thing at this level. Anyone with pace at this level is either completely new and unknown or fast with little end product. How many have we had in the last 7-8 seasons that had pace that weren't slagged off weekly for being shit and no end product. It would be nice to have some pace, but lacking it is not half the problem it is if you're at the Premiership level.

I worry about Wheater's fitness record, but we aren't going to do much better whilst in this division and finances (I'm assuming a lot less than 50% of what he was on.

I just assumed you were in full on type rant mode.

Given the market we're in and comments re people like Wilson, Howard, Madine etc ("They've done a job at this level before") then a centre half of Wheater's pedigree is reasonable enough imo. I just hope he's a lot lot cheaper and can stay free from injury

[BWFC_Insane]

I mean if Wheater stays fit and has a decent run I think he's a top half of the championship maybe even lower premiership quality of defender. I remember he had a few decent games for us even in our premiership relegation season.

For me, it isn't that he's a bad player. It is simply that he takes a run of games before he starts to look like a commanding centre half and in recent seasons everytime he's started to look half way there he's got injured again.

I'm just not sure he's going to stay fit long enough to get going, and that is the worry. Because half fit Wheater looks cumbersome and his lack of pace becomes even more apparent.

[Bruce Rioja]

This is all news to me, but apparently we have a player by the name of Frazer Richardson, only, now we don't.

He was another on trial.
