And 3 of those are goalkeepers :(

 

Source : printed copy of Echo today.

 

So, takeover or not, a couple of injuries in the first few matches and we really will be playing the kids from the academy :shock:

Especially with the new rule of 7 subs on the bench (which is patently ridiculous and means even more players not getting a game each week).

Ive been saying about this for a while. I got the idea that the takeover (if it ever happenes) will take so long that we will lose players as they have to sort there future out and we will sell some to get some cash in, leaving us with barer bones than last season.

 

no doubt if it all goes on for another 2 weeks we will lose more players and get to the point where it will be a struggle to put out a team with more than a couple of professional games between them.

 

It doesnt look good for next season at all IMO.

If you look at the 21, that includes a few of the academy already who happen to have squad numbers : Gobern for instance.

 

Fortunately at the moment we have players who are at least worth a look in League One.

How can it mean more players arnt getting a game? You can still only bring on 3 subs and by having more on the bench you can bring in a few of the (ehem) youth and if the game has gone well for us, give them 10 mins at the end to build up a little experience in the league.

I suspect it means that 2 more players won't be playing for the reserves, which really is neither here nor there. Plus we don't HAVE to put 7 on the bench, do we?

 

Neil Warnock will be happy though, he can dispense with his stupid practise of not having a keeper now.

Who else can we expect to lose though?

 

Will we be paying Thomas CCC wages to sit in the treatment room all season again?

 

Will BWP and Mule still be there?

 

Gillet could still attract a fee so could be another to be off.

 

Saga and Ras are still on the books but I dont think we honestly think they will still be here.

 

Ive not seen the printed list but I wonder how many of the names on it will realistically be with us?

I think we have had plenty of players playing for the reserves one night and then on the bench the next day for the 1st team. Odds on they will only get 15 mins or so at the end so it shouldnt be too difficult for them.

Because instead of 2 people sitting on the bench doing nothing there will be 4. Simple really. Sitting on a bench is not the same thing as getting a game. Totally stupid rule which requires smaller clubs to inflate their playing squad for no good reason.

If they include academy players with squad numbers we have more than 21 players - so I don't think the Echo are right. Does it provide a list?

 

Dunno, I haven't bought it (sorry Dan) - you're the authority at the moment ! :p

None of that is true though. You can only have 11 on the pitch at one time, so it doesn't matter how many are on the bench - as the ones who aren't playing reserve games in order to sit on the bench aren't getting that level of experience anyway. Plus if teams are really having a problem with it, just name 3 subs, that's allowed.

Reserves don't usually play on Saturdays any more though do they?

 

Not usually, no, probably due to needing to sit on the bench. :D

 

We tend to have academy matches on a Saturday morning though.

he turned it down from what i heard, 1,300 or 3,100 a week or something like that, he'd get more of a chance here easy.

but before those extra players that are not getting a game now were not getting a game before. only with a space on the bench they now have the chance to get 10 to 15 mins experience under there belt.

 

How is that a bad thing?

 

Are there squads that only have the 1st 11 plus 5 subs that will now have to go out and buy a couple more players to fill the bench?

Do you HAVE to name seven subs?

I'm certainly not worried about the numbers, there will be no problem getting a side out. The loan system means you only need half a squad these days anyway and there is no point getting loans in until much closer to the season starting. What I am concerned about is the quality in the side. We lack a decent spine - downgrading the keeper, having the same problem with Perrys lack of height and pace at the back, no real pace or guile in the middle and the lack of pace up front. We also have very poor wide players and if we manage to offload the drain to funds that is Rasiak, then I don't see goals either.

 

At this point though just putting a team out each week would be good enough for me. I'll upgrade my hopes when a new owner signs on the dotted line.

Only the loss of McGoldrick should be of any concern. Vital that we keep the last three. It would also be good to keep Davis if we can; to off load Thomas and find the money to get Saeijs back. All of that seems very doable if a takeover is concluded this week. It would then be a very competitive League One squad and about the right size. For the first time in years we wouldn't have journeymen clogging up the progress routes of promising young players.

I'm not so sure there were many senior players preventing youngsters coming through last season and most would argue there were in fact far too many `opportunities' for the youngsters to shine.

Presuming that Both Rasiak and Saganowski will leave, surely we can't go through the whole season with just paterson and white up front? We'd have to try and get a player with some height and power to play as a target man, probably on loan.

Your understanding of how football works is totally laughable. Every team will name 7 subs, even if they register the manager. This is not new except in the FL. Scotland did it last season. I don't believe any team will name less than 7 subs on a regular basis. It is a fact that overall in this country there will be more professional players not getting a game on a weekend than before because of this stupid rule (2*72=144 players per weekend for the FL). How can you dispute this? There are already players sitting on the bench in the PL that should be getting a game every week in the CCC or even in the PL. Its the same situation as having a sub keeper on the bench. There are approx 92 keepers in the FL who do not get a proper game from week to week, so some top class keepers hardly ever play, madness.

Not only is my argument that teams won't always have 7 players on the bench not laughable, it makes a ton more sense that you insisting players are sitting on Prem benches just because they feel they have to fill the bench. Various teams have gone without a full complement of subs even before 7 were allowed.

 

They are sitting there not because a lot of subs are allowed, but because teams are allowed to sign as many players as they like and pay them what they like, whether they use them or not - which is completely different and existed long before 1 sub became 2, 3, 5, or 7.

 

Chelsea don't need 50+ squad players, but they'll sign anyone they can afford if it means the likes of Man U don't have them. Whether they kick a ball or not or whether they are a substitute is utterly irrelevant, as they've achieved their goal by having them in their squad (as seen with Sidwell, Parker, Bridge, etc). Milan started all this back in 1994 and back then you were lucky to be able to use two subs in a match - but they had two full teams for squad rotation.

 

In terms of not naming 7 subs, I've said that teams CAN do it, not that they WILL. Clubs who are skint, have suspensions, etc might just choose not to worry about taking some of their reserves/youth side out of their scheduled matches just to have them sit there in case of emergency. I don't think many will, but why bother complaining about something you don't have to adhere to ?

 

As it happens, I don't agree with Stuart Pearce (from 2008 ) :

and Steve Tilson doesn't really make an argument :

If a player was that close to being in the squad 6th or 7th choice for the bench then they wouldn't be out on loan. They would also not be on the 5 man bench. They would be sat in the stands twiddling their thumbs p*ssed off they have no chance of playing a first team match that week. The 7 subs allows them to be in the squad, giving the manager more options so there is less need to play players out of position in the case of injury and more chance of players getting experience in the first team squad so they don't feel they are being left out in the cold.

Current Squad:

 

Goalkeepers: Tommy Forecast, Michael Poke, Bartosz Bialkowski.

 

Defenders: Lloyd James, Ollie Lancashire, Joseph Mills, Chris Perry, Wayne Thomas, Lee Molyneux.

 

Midfielders: Simon Gillett, Paul Wotton, Morgan Schneiderlin, Oscar Gobern, Adam Lallana, Lee Holmes, Jake Thomson, Kyle McLaggon.

 

Strikers: Marek Saganowski, Grzegorz Rasiak, Matt Paterson, Jamie White.

 

Nine of those are basically just academy players that got a handfull of games last season and I think Saga and Rasiak will definatly leave and Schneiderlin and Lallana probably will too.

 

Players in bold are who i'd consider to be our starting XI on the opening day if no one else comes in.
