Dr Ian Malcolm Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 We had a much smaller squad in 2017/18 and look what happened - imagine we'd had the same number of injuries as this season then? Several of those haven't actually played this season, have been on loan and one hasn't even signed yet. The squad in terms of numbers is actually fine.

Brighton Jambo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Honestly the number of ways people find to moan. Last season (i.e 17/18) we all had concerned we had too much reliance on kids this season we have a bigger squad and the OP wants to cut meaning we either get rid of a whole bunch of kids or get rid of senior pros and rely on kids again couldnt make this nonsense up.

Cruyff Turn Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Agree with OP. The squads far too big. We’ve got 4 right backs, 4 left backs. We’re looking to improve the midfield and forward areas as well as giving youngsters more game time. Some of those youngsters are better players than Lee and Bozanic for example, and we’ve also now got Edwards who has played his way into contention. Bramdon, Burns, Keena probably need to go out on loan. Lee, Bozanic, MacLean and Vanecek could be moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think there's some harsh treatment of Godinho here. He's had his injury problems but I think he's much better than Brandon and will prove it given the time. I would definitely try giving him a good run in the team when fit.
