I would take a guess that we normally take about 20 players with us ? And then the squad is picked from this ? I cant imagine we go to games with only 16.
To be fair, they are a big club, and they are well supported, but are slowly losing their reputation due to their arrogant fans and tosser as a manager.
And people wonder why people think WHU fans are arrogant....

Your mate sounds like an over excited small time club supporting bellend. Very reminiscent of Blackpool fans last season when they were doing well.
Getting a bit above themselves and should pipe the **** down. We have a right to think we should beat everyone in this division, we're ****ing West Ham United for ****s sake. The likes of Southampton should quietly enjoy their 'success' but shouldn't expect to beat anyone, because they're a small time muppet club."
Surely they'll start with either Maynard or Baldock? Don't think we'll change from the weekend, I much prefer Guly when he plays at RM, and it also seems to bring out the best in Frazor. Chappers on the bench? 1-2 or 1-1 COYS!
I don't see why people think Fish is so awful. I always thought he did a decent job at LB under portvliet in this division and wouldn't have looked out of place in L1 last year. About 5 years ago he got promoted from L1 with S****horpe under Adkins. Got a good delivery and clearly other people rate him as he's played for both Donny + Reading consistently at this level.
Back to the topic...thought Juke was poor last night, gave the ball away a lot and looked incredibly slow, also seemed a few seconds behind the play, I'm not unhappy we didn't sign him. Was a good finish though to be fair to him.
He might have been handy in the 'reserve teams' but surely he's not going to be too close to the first 11 and not going to be better than Lallana/Puncheon/Chaplow/SDR/Guly/Falque?
Cannot see Holmes getting near the first XI now. Wouldn't be surprised to see Reeves/Holmes/Barnard to go out on loan. Also makes the signing of Falque a bit surplus as well.
Since Bristol City away (last 15 games) we have conceded 19 goals and only scored 16. In the first 21 games we conceded 22 and scored 49 goals. I guess something can be said about both our goal scoring and conceding.
