We've not had proper depth for years & as you highlight that brings it's own problems.
It's not about having a big squad, it's about having the right squad, the right combination of players to get the job done.
Every season we carry far to many passengers & it's something that has to change.
I'd like to have a boiler plate plaque made of that for Forest's recruitment dept...and nailed to the door or the wall. Either would do.
Fortunately, I think Brazil and Hughton get that. (Hopefully, Forest's have banished the dart board used for recruiting players...)
(It's been a perennial problem. Forest need to 'stick with a plan' instead of chopping and changing managers too often. You end up with a patchwork quilt of a squad. Re: 'Passengers.').
Yeah. And do an actual pre-season with the manager you intend to keep for the season. Dat too. :P
SA.
