Two players for every position

Taking this age old adage into consideration, how many players are we really short?

----------Gordon---------- ------------Mig------------
? --- ? --- Bramble - Bard. ? --- Ferd - Turner - Rich
Sess --- Catt --- ? -- ? Hend - Colback - Mey - Steed
---------Gyan - ? ------- -------- ? --- ? -----------

This is obviously not taking into account the likes of Campbell ( who may not play next season ) and all the kids ( Noble, Lynch, Laing etc )

That's a ****ing scary amount of gaps to fill for a team that is now supposed to be an "established premier league side".......

 

that'll make 8 short, but i doubt bruce is looking at 8 in them positions that you have high-lighted

 

Gordon/mig
bardo/?..turner/laing..bramble/anton..richardson/?
Elmo/hendo..catts/colback..meyler/?..sess/steed
gyan/?...??/??

 

Surely we are short of 2 x left backs.

 

I don't think two players in every position is enough these days. In Newcastle we're having to use Ryan Taylor in centre midfield (he's usually right midfield/right back) and I'm sure we had about 6 CM's in January.

 

You aren't wrong they way we have had to shift player around this season

 

Scary thing is, half of them aren't good enough, never mind the gaps.

 

we have an awfully poor squad to be honest
