I have been banging on about S I D for two years now.
So a quick review of our squad reveals that for the first time in years we do have real strength in depth and are all wondering how Madge will go about selecting the team with so many options. Well, every season we (like most teams) start to suffer with injuries and suspensions (and Lord knows we have had our fair share in recent times) and the "thin" squads get found out (us!). This has been our situation over the last 3 seasons (at least) but I honestly believe that we now have quality cover in all areas. Yes even at full back as Matty and Kaspars can, have and do play there!
For those who may not have realised we now have a 30 man squad* and although appear top heavy in midfield we know that a few of those listed as "midfield" can also play up top i.e. Angelo and Adele.
3 keepers
8 defenders
12 midfielders
7 strikers (well 6 + aggy!)
*This does include Ramone Rose who is at loan at Northampton
Take some comfort people and remember that Madge and JG can only put 11 on the park every week and we all know we would all pick a slightly different team if we were in charge.
