By my maths, we have a 31 man squad. Remove Oxborough, McGinn, Seddon, Robinson and Callachan. That's down to 26. Tavares and Koutroumbis don't look fit for purpose. Down to 24. Miller and Stamatelopolous out currently, 22. So currently a 22 man squad while relying on Nicholson and Slattery staying fit. So a 20 man squad. We're not quite at 'if you're fit you're getting a game' but we're not a million miles away and that's how standards slip.
That's the real cost of so many injured players. Those in the eleven don't have to maintain standards to keep their place in the team...
