We did when O'Hare and Hamer were on the bench recently
And a fit Walker and Godden also fit the bill

Who's he supposed to put there genius?! Litterally have to name a match day squad. If MR doesn't use them that's his choice. The guy has worked miracles in shitty circumstances yet the fans still moan

People were moaning about Pask earlier in the season and saying he wasn't good enough.

Yeah but now they’ve actually seen him play and have realised that they shot their bolt too soon. Again.

We were down to ten men and losing 2-0. Even Messi would have struggled to make an impact

Still not good enough, usefull benchwarmer as he covers 2 or 3 positions, but not good enough to get a start when everyone's fit.

Having said that, he's never let us down when called upon, but I'd expect him to move on in the summer to get more game time.

How could he bring 11 on when we had a player sent off

I think what the OP is trying to say is that we have certain players who are regulary on the bench but never get played when MR makes subs. For example Baka
The reason for me is that they arnt good enough and MR doesnt see them as game changers however he has to name a full bench it would be stupid not to in case of injuries or sendings off which would leave us with no cover in a certain position.

Yep. Then players like Allen and Shipley will very rarely be brought off the bench but will be thrown in to start randomly

MR wouldnt have known for sure who could make the grade in the Champ. all the players deserved a shot and frankly we were in no position financially to replace many 1st teamers last year anyway.

The evolution of a squad that happens slowly over successive seasons (especially at our budget level)

You have key first teamers, rotation players, back ups and dead wood.

if we survive this year they will shed a crop of players that Championship is a step too far. move some of the current first team to be back up and bring in some quality.

add some new key players every year and everyone else moves down the pecking order until they hit the deadwood pile where you try shift them

as long as this is the system we will grow.

Spot on although I'm not sure we'll shed as many as some expect. Championship players are very expensive or, if we rightly continue to try & find undervalued talent etc. the market for those players now will be far more competitive too.

With the squad we have it wouldn't make any difference if we did make 11 subs.
