If we had loads of players to come on we'd be back where Walsh left us. It's an anomaly due to a load of players being injured (or rested?). If Ancelotti is comfortable we have to accept that. We don't want or need a load of players on the bench making trouble, we are not that kind of club that can keep them happy.
Not if they were good players. Walsh didn't sign any.
 

Arsenal: 0 injuries/suspensions
Villa: 2 injuries/suspensions
Fulham: 3 injuries/suspensions

Are you intentionally being thick?
Why are you moving the goal posts again?

Those teams all have 25 senior players registered, as do others, and could put 7 senior players on the bench if they had 7 already out injured. This is basic maths Jimbo. Whether they currently have 7 senior players out now or not doesn't change the fact that if they did they wouldn't be forced to fill the bench out with kids like we are.

Because you're basically complaining we don't have 11 starters and 14 other senior players knocking around FF to be on the bench in case 7 get injured.

We have 7 injuries and you're confused why we don't have surplus players on the bench on top of the senior ones we have.

You're trying to use Fulham having more senior players on their bench than we do when they have this fabulous list: Tete, Mitrovic, Ream, Reid, Bryan, Onomah, Anguissa, Kongolo, Fabri.

It's obvious you hate Brands, which is fine, but you're going to have to start posting actual points because you've turned into a right moron this year.

Yeah, I want us to have a full squad of decent options.

That's what Brands was brought in to do.
 

Have I missed him getting a new contract or is that still up in the air? Ie when was it due to expire?
Personally think he’s done well enough to be retained and it certainly sounds like Carlo wants him around, that’s good enough for me.
Agreed. He was left a gigantic mess and has done pretty well cleaning up. I’d like to see a few more risky signings once we’re stable enough, but he’s done a good job IMO.
 
Power and energy across the park has to be the go-to now. The last few additions, James aside (for obvious reasons) have been an example of this.

And he must do it NOW!!!!!

Patience is a virtue.

Our 1st 11 has improved in quality since he came in (whoever is given the sole credit for every signing) and therefore, when all fit our bench has also improved in quality. Now it is for a continuation of that process, a couple/few players at a time. We cannot expect or demand wholesale changes as we are progressing, to make too many changes in one go unsettles a squad.

Ancelotti/Brands/Others will highlight priorities and they will hopefully be sorted successfully and then it will be onto the next set of priorities and remember one priority slot should always be taken up by academy developments.
