Revised squad size

Revised squad size

At the moment I think that we need to loose 3 players from our squa.

We were at 25 going into the window and have now signed 3 loan signings, which is 28. Then you can take out Bauer and Moult, leaving 26. Sounds like Rudd staying in the 25 if injury not as bad as feared, but would expect one of the four keepers to drop out to make it 25.

Of course we also need to get loans out for other incomings...
 
Don’t we need Hudson registered in the 25 for home grown purposes? It used to be you had to have a certain number in the match day squad. With the introduction of the 25 man squad list, as long as the quota is hit in that, they don’t need to be involved in the match day squad.
Yes. If we lose Davies and don’t have Earl in the squad the we can only field 6 subs. One reason I think if there’s any hope of Rudd being fit this season that we try and move Ripley on.

You need to have 8 home-grown players in the 25 man squad list.

However, home-grown is not the same as club-developed.

You need to have at least 1 club-developed player in the matchday squad, and if you don't, you lose a sub space on the bench for that game.

Presumably one or more of the youngsters would be on the bench to fulfil the home brown requirement?
