Joint lowest first team squad size in the league. Doesn’t help that we’re not giving many youngsters chances. Curious how Robins will fix this.
It is a bit of fingers crossed on injuries, as said above we had a lot of long term injuries at the same time which didn’t help.
Difference this season come January Robins will be able to bring players in loan or permanent if needed, last January he wasn’t allowed , just Maguire wasn’t it ?
Our depth up front seems like the biggest problem. I doubt we can maintain a two-striker system with Wright, Simms, Godden and Tavares, considering the injury records of the latter two. We seem to be inviting a change to a lone striker formation, which seems a waste when you’ve invested so much in getting Wright and Simms to play together.
Well it’s a waste if we have to spend time and energy working on a different system just because we don’t have a fourth striker capable of slotting into the system we’ve spent all summer (and >£10 million in new forwards) on shifting to.Eh?
If wright and/or Simms are injured in your scenario why is it a waste any more than if we had a fourth striker?
Well just got to the box like normal.

Even without injuries, it’s asking a lot to rebuild the formation around two expensive new strikers and then only have one real option to rotate in and out.
Well we’d only need one of our three strikers to get injured, and then you’re making it very hard to play 90 minutes every week with two up front.We’ve switched between 3412 and 3421 quite a lot over the last few years. I’m not sure it would be a massive imposition. Of course if we lost two of our top three strikers it wouldn’t be ideal, but I’m not sure what area of the pitch that doesn’t apply to.

Assuming that playing with two strikers is our best formation, that’s a problem. And if playing with one striker turns out to be our best formation, that’s a different kind of problem.
Vik was unusually resilient and you’re asking two different players to repeat the trick - it’s definitely not ideal.Why? Players all over the pitch play 90 mins. It’s not ideal but Vik pretty much did it the whole season last year.

Great to see we've finally got a massive squad and that the subs we make really change the game.........
