Was 25 until Rigg left.
Plus those out on loan so not available.

19Two players for every position is good enough for Mourinho. Supposedly. Even Prem squads are only 25 players plus all the U21s you want.Ugo. wrote:Nowhere near thatGeorge Street-Bridge wrote:Writing the visiting player profiles for the programme, the magic figure for fitting into the available space while keeping the print big enough to be legible is 26.

So we have the 18 on duty today plus which six with a decent amount of first-team football on their CVs with us or elsewhere?
Bennett
Osadebe
Jazzi
TOE
Collins (stretching it a bit)
Struggling now.
Re: FA CUP MONEY
24Bittner was in the 18.
I suppose Jahraldo scrapes into that definition, but Jazzi seems to have been dumped.

Re: FA CUP MONEY
26I don't have a real issue with the signings. Flynny tends to play the same players each game. In general up to jan if fit day, pipe, butler, O'Brien, white, Mickey D, tozer, labadie, Dolan, armond, nouble have been used. Add to that willmott, Bennett and maclausky have also been used. That's a core side of 14 players that he has used and we have been successful.
What you don't want to do in jan is bring in too many players to unbalance the team. My feeling was we needed a right back, attacking midfielder and a striker. I believe we invested in Hayes (already signed), Sheehan and a highly rated right back from a prem club. To me on paper that looks exactly what we needed to do. We then added a CM who in my view if we had enough money left that was the position I would go for. Obviously the money wasn't there for a huge player but they brought in someone hats new before. A gamble which we had nothing to lose from. Same as collins. Someone well known to the club who could potentially fill the Reynolds void.
On paper it was a window that seemed to fill the gaps we needed. In reality we have 3 potential first team players who are unfit or not favoured yet me personally I can't judge on all 3 because I don't think they have been given a chance.

Will put him back not forwards.
Bad deal in hindsight for him and the club.
Fastest fella on our books also
Re: FA CUP MONEY
30I said it was a bad move the day he went. Was never gonna get game time there. it's just a move that suited his agent again. The lad has made two moves this season both to managers with the same agents.Harps62 wrote:Totally wasted at Orient getting little game timeAmberexile wrote:Can't help thinking the best fit to fill the Reynolds void was Reynolds
