Which is 36 players - is it me or is that not absurdly high?! And will more than likely be higher still if Mowbray brings in some new blood.
Well what a shock the team that uses the least players is top of the league! It is almost like the league table in reverse. Well done Waggott you really know what you are doing.
How the fuck can we afford to pay this load of losers and there is rooney, ya ya etc earning more in a week than we take on the Gate. Somethings just don't add up
I'm not disagreeing but its a bit of a chicken & egg type thing ain't it?
....Clearly a manager is far less likely to change a winning side....so by its very nature, a successful league campaign will inevitably result in a more settled side.....the team picks itself to some degree....
Besides....its not a massive difference......its not like the top teams have only used 15 & the bottom used 50+ is it.....
