Think our squad is going to be the difference for us

Sat Dec 06, 2025 6:16 pm

Today we had a whole bench full of players to change the game.

Our subs are better than any other teams options and I think they’ll take us up

It’s clear a lot of the other sides are starting to run out of steam against us at this stage of the season.

We seem to be a lot fitter, more organised and have a lot more decent players in the squad.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we added in January too

We’ll win this league, no bother

I'm not sure we will win the league but I agree our subs are probably the best in the league and we do seem to finish strong in games and create chances late on when teams are stretched and tired. Be a big statement if we beat Stevenage.

I thought our bench was crazy good today, it's been like that for a few games now.

I bet other managers are envious of what we have at our disposal. That said, you've still gotta get them all to click so credit to BBM.

We have 25 players

King, Colwill, Tanner, Osho are injured, Alnwick authorised absence
Mafico and Nyakuhwa are U21 when we need them to step up

A first team consists of 18, today we didn't have to leave any out, that's the way BBM wants it, and i believe him.

I would wager our 5th subs are better than any other in this division. Today it was ex irish international Callum Robinson and 180 Premier League games Callum Chambers didn't get on.

I can see 2 more coming in with the 2 u21's going on loan over this upcoming window

Every manager in this league would have looked at our bench today and sh*t themselves. We must use it to our advantage come January onwards. (With a few new signings) :thumbup:

The bench is the big thing.

Huddersfield must have been thinking "jesus, really" when Robertson, Joel, Davies, Kpakio and Robinson came off the bench today.

All five of those would start every game for most other teams in this league.

Saying that, I can't work out why Alfie May isn't starting for them. Great goalscorer.
