    Was thinking about how we'll line up, and the depth we now have available.

    We have huge depth now and it's ridiculous to think how far the squad has progressed in the last two seasons that we now feasibly have two First XIs.

    McGregor
    Rosenior-Davies-Chester-Robertson
    Snodgrass-Livermore-Huddlestone-Brady
    Long-Jelavic

    Sagbo
    Aluko
    Boyd-Meyler-Quinn-Ince
    Figueroa-McShane-Bruce-Elmo
    Harper/Jak

    The latter could be used for Cups/Europa, leaving the former fresh for the PL.

    Completely agree on the enormous improvement in our team quality and depth under Bruce's direction. One things for sure there is going to be some very tough competition for starting XI places and some very good players are not even going to make the bench some weeks. Lets hope the team togetherness which has been such a great feature of our squad won't suffer.

    OK, but I wouldn't have Sagbo in goal and Aluko as a one man defence. Madness.

    I'd back Sagbo and Aluko to keep the ball out of the net.

    Why do people keep touting using a weakened team in the Europa league?

    **** that notion right off. Weak teams can play in the premier league if at all. Don't want to see any weak teams at all. Best players available for every game.

    Agreed on the concept and squad depth with more still to come in.

    However,

    I think that SB will work on a horses for courses basis when everyone is fit. If we get into the EL group stage and have a run in the coc we shall need everyone of them.

    I thought this thread would be about OLM meeting Tickles. Read the title as two XL's...

    I'm 6'1" and 14 1/2st, I'm not what you'd consider XL.

    Fair one, you're only 2 inches shorter than me and 2 stone lighter. Somewhere between us 2xl sizes came into play.
