I'd take Libby's comment further - a big part of our success Jan onwards was we had two players (or spare) in key positions that were 'starters' and they didnt mind swapping out if it wasn't working or they were tired. Subs didn't weaken us.

Stewart/Larin/Archer (3 for one spot)
Leo/Fellows/Edozie/Matsuki/Robinson (5 for 2 spots)
Flynn/Casper/Charles/Bragg (4 for 2 spots)
Stephens/Wood/THB/Quashie (4 for 2 spots)

Peretz/Bazunu

Ok joking about the keepers. But the others I stand by.

This is why I am not sure what the Bellingham/Rodgers argument for England is about. Start with one and brig the other on.
So .much this. Ross and cyber interchanged so neither ever played more than 60 mins and so were fresh fir the next game. That is why thet were both so good in Jan to May
 
Exactly. This is a decision it'll always be hard to judge and whether it turns out good or bad for Saints will depend on how he's replaced. If he injures himself at the World Cup and/or we sign someone better - or at least similar - nobody will care we released a player who spent the vast majority of his time here in the physio room. If he stays fit, scores 20 goals for someone like Boro or West Ham and we sign another Downs type then everybody will be saying this was a ridiculous decision, how can you release the Loch Ness Drogba etc etc.
I'll call it. It is a very bad decision....hopefully it won't cost us, but I fear it may unless we can find another good striker. I heard there is a lat at Leyton something who is useful.....
