It’s a difficult balance. We’re all agreed that the squad was too big this season. However unless we can recruit quality players who are good in more than one position, given our lack of a proper academy, think it’s inevitable one or two of the trimmed down squad are going to be mainly there as cover.
I think that the squad was too big, but also, not enough quality other than the eight or nine first picks.
It's fine if you have two choices for every position with those who could play in different positions if needed.
But if the quality isn't stronger than this season. Another hard season ahead.
We just can't rely on the same players all the time to keep us in contention and away from trouble.
Having no reserves or youth to help those not first picks, to get valuable match minutes, will always be a problem.
