Over the next three months the quality and depth of squads will have a major affect on which three teams will be relegated, on that basis which look the most vulnerable?

On that basis, us unfortunately.

We have decent depth in defence, but we're paper-thin beyond that. I'm hoping we sign a couple of strikers in January, one or both of whom could also fill in out wide or in attacking midfield.

The signing of players is so difficult for managers/clubs as they are so reluctant to buy players from lower divisions unlike before.

Is the difference between the PL and FL too big? Are managers under so much pressure to stay in the top division compared to before so are less reluctant to buy from lower divisions this also is the same for chairman/owners who are petrified for the club to get relegated because of the difference in TV money?

This also applies to teenagers coming through to the first team, the difference between teenagers and the first team in the PL is bigger now than before.

Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in?

Championship clubs inflate the value of their better players, understandably given then wealth in the Premier League. This makes clubs either purchase PL cast-offs or look abroad where few clubs can offer similar wages.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Huddersfield and Brighton have greater strength and depth than us?

No way!

Well we are about to find out given that we will be without Sakho, Ward, TFM, Luka, plus Townsend looked injured when he came off the other night and Cabaye looked shattered.
Looks like Kelly will be at right back.

Oh I don't think we have the worst squad of all, but in terms of depth we have to be counted among the weakest at the moment.

We are the worst at the moment only one striker third choice r/b no c/b cover with DD and Sakho out Kelly needed at r/b two average keepers two average l/b,s, if Wilf got injured we would be toast.

also if Speroni gets injured i really dont feel optimistic for what is on the bench.

Benteke doesnt look fit at all and deserves to be dropped until he gets a bit more fire in the belly.


in terms of depth, we may be weak but so long as 3 other teams are weaker then fine and dandy

I want to see some action in the transfer window, none of that frigging about like last time...

As it stands we have no depth and no striker...
