Oursquad is too big 12:25 - Aug 8 with 3148 views | gibbsm1 | We have 32 players who are arguably senior players in contention GK: Bart, Gerken FB: Donacien, Emmanuel, Cotter, Knudsen, Kenlock CB: Chambers, Spence, Woolfenden,Nsiala, (Tilt?) WM: Edwards, Robers, Ward, Edun, Rowe CM: Skuse, Bishop, Huws, Adeyemi, Dozzell, Nolan, Downes, Nydam, Chalobah, Folami Att: Sears, Jackson, Harrison, Garner, Morris We could afford to lose 5 of these! | | | | |
Oursquad is too big on 12:26 - Aug 8 with 3115 views | homer_123 | I think you'll find that Garner and Adeyemi will be leaving, if not now, then Jan time. And I think the likes of Cotter and Nydam will go out on loan as well. | |

Oursquad is too big on 12:27 - Aug 8 with 3087 views | pointofblue | I can see Emmanuel, Cotter and possibly Kenlock going out on loan; Rowe may be loaned or sold whilst I wouldn't be shocked if we looked to release Adeyemi. | |

Oursquad is too big on 12:28 - Aug 8 with 3075 views | TheDailyTractor | Cotter Rowe folami and Morris will most probably be in the u23s for a large part of the season. Huws adeyemi and bishop are hopefully going to get fit but look at their injury record. One of Emmanuel or kenlock will probably go out on loan | | | |

Sears is worth keeping to see if he gets game time in his best position. Emmanuel and Kenlock shouldn't be given up on either - both developing. | | | |

Oursquad is too big on 12:35 - Aug 8 with 2937 views | King_of_Portman_Rd | Each of the past few seasons we've looked half decent, then suffered an injury to a key player and reverted to being boring (and inevitably dreadful) Injuries to McG, Murphy, Fraser, Webster, Bishop, Huws, Dozzell etc have all seemed to derail a potentially fruitful season, because we relied so heavily on them for attacking impetus and looked lost without them.. Now we might actually be able to cope with an injury or two here or there as we have genuine quality from 1 - 22 as opposed to limited to just 12 to 14 players in the squad. That can only be a good thing.. and it's something every club is striving for | | | |
Oursquad is too big on 13:51 - Aug 8 with 2633 views | No9 | Well, Teddy B, Tom Adeyemi, Huw's, all to rpove their fitness Dozzell still to show he can come back Skuse gets his pension the others still to be proven How this develops will be interesting | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Oursquad is too big on 13:53 - Aug 8 with 2619 views | Kieran_Knows | Cotter and Folami don't really form part of the first team squad at the minute, and whilst Morris was on the bench on Saturday, i'll be surprised if that is a regular thing over the season. I imagine Garner will be off before tomorrow's deadline, and quite possibly Emmanuel as well, so that's 5 names you could knock off the list. | |

See also the Blackburn bloke’s comments on the Paul Hurst thread - Shrewsbury fell away at the end of the season due to a small squad. Hurst is taking more risks than MM, needs options if things go wrong too! | |

Oursquad is too big on 14:00 - Aug 8 with 2547 views | Currie10 | I think Adeyemi is done and 4 / 5 can go on loan. I wonder if we'll be selling a couple yet. Tilt I don't see happening. | | | |
Oursquad is too big on 14:12 - Aug 8 with 2470 views | WBBlue18 | Not sure it's too big, but getting competitive. There are say 12 players - a whole team - there that have yet to play more than a few games at championship (or even professional) level that can't be classed as seasoned "senior" professionals ready to play 46 games straight: Cotter, Woolfenden, Emmanuel, Rowe, Edun, Chalobah, Dozzell, Bishop, Nydam, Downes, Folami, Morris. All of these qualify for the U23s. The balance are older professionals that have that experience and are 'ready made'. That's about 16 players. The match day squad inc subs is 18. If we have injuries like last season - say 10 (and even if this is too high I suspect it will always be 5 or 6) - that leaves about 20 to choose the 18 from. Take away a couple going out on loan, the the number is probably about right. | | | |
Oursquad is too big on 14:13 - Aug 8 with 2458 views | Jonnosdreadlocks | It is big and thin on quality which is just as worrying. All well and good saying get rid of Waghorn and McGoldrick as they are on big wages, that maybe the case, but they were quality (although DM's injury record was bad). Let's see, at least Hurst seems prepared to be more positive than MM. | |

Oursquad is too big on 14:59 - Aug 8 with 2357 views | FenboyBlue | Then it's great timing with the League Cup coming up for whoever the 2nd 11 are in PH's current thinking (I dunno) to fight their way into the 1st 11. No need to send out anybody on loan yet, unless we go crashing out at Exeter of course. | | | |
Oursquad is too big on 15:10 - Aug 8 with 2303 views | LeagueOne | I'd say given how badly we were hit by injury last season, having options is a good thing. | |

How do you know that we’re ‘thin on quality‘? Have you managed in the League? On your second point, McGoldrick had to be released - he was knackered and couldn’t run. Waghorn’s head was turned and he was as keen on the move as PH was for some funds. So they weren’t ‘got rid of’. | |
