They don't have a stronger bench than us. Next.

Well they did last weekend.

Don't understand how that can even be up for debate.

We had 3 teenagers and 4 men on the bench. They had 7 men.

When we have all back from injury it's another issue though.

We are threadbare regarding strength in-depth!

We had a huge exodus of players in the last few transfer windows and the younger players brought in have not been anywhere near the quality / potential? or we have a hugely inadequate scouting network and coaching staff at u23 & Youth Team level? probably both!

FSG love to promote from within, relying on the fact the promotion doesn't entail too much of a salary increase. We have too many inexperienced, wet behind the ears in the background!

We are a shambles at the moment trying to play catch up using hugely inadequate resources and in very grave danger of being left behind not just by those elite clubs of Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal & Citeh but the likes of Spurs, Southampton and very soon our neighbours across the park when they move into their shiny new stadium!

I am really concerned about our methodology at the moment...we have the likes of Sakho, Markovic, Flanagan and Ward on loan elsewhere whilst our bench looks increasingly flimsy each week!

We can only dream about who can make an instant impact in our acquisitions in the summer IF FSG bother to abandon this ridiculous MONEYBALL...but our problems are more severely deep rooted I'm afraid!

See my post which lists the Burnley bench, they had teenagers as well. Why are there teenagers men and ours aren't?

Both benches were poor last weekend but as I've stated, in no way shape or form was there bench stronger than ours.

You must mean physically then as lots of teenagers play better than men. That said, our bench is really weak, don't know if weaker than Burnley though, but it could be.

See Chris's post that you obviously did not read. There are only 3 players in there I would even call premiership footballers.

Something very wrong....


Did they really have a stronger bench?

9Vokes
12Brady
17Robinson
18Westwood
26Tarkowski
27Darikwa
32Agyei

Out of the above Vokes, Brady and Westwood have all played Premiership football before but aren't exactly top players.

In no way was their bench betters than ours but I suppose any excuse for a moan hey.
