You can't pad your squad out every year without also adding first team additions unless you want to end up with a squad of 30+ year old journeymen. It's a worrying trend this padding out of the squad for the last 4 years.
I’d not be surprised if the side the started today finishes the season. 😳

If there is no-one else, then Lennon is better than Glennon.

We are short across midfield, however, we have Gudmundsson with Brownhill able to cover and Jay Rodriguez is very capable of playing wide.
Rodriguez is past his best up top. Never mind out wide.
