Anyone thinking we are playing too many games?

We are either playing too many games or lack personnel.

Competition for places.
Glasner doesn't use his squad, strange given the number of games.
Correction: injuries have forced him to use players he hadn't hitherto.

Quality is the underlying issue.

Thus it has always been at the club. If we had two first teams we would be up there with Mancester City and the rest. The problem is competition for places - Eddie Nketiah, ex Arsenal, who cost north of £25m, spends most of his time sat on the bench. I wonder what he makes of it? I know he's not that good, but Glasner has run Mateta into the ground, and look at him, can't buy a goal. Now it's possible we'll get this Spuds forward, and given his fee, he'll have to go straight into the starting line. £35m, I presume someone will be sold to make up the difference.

Once you get passed our best eleven……would you?

When we were doing ok I would have given some of then more than the cursory 5 minutes at the end of a game, how else are they to get experience? The irony is that now they are getting chucked in at the deep end. Also, if and when new signings come in, they'll go to the top of the pile so the bench warmers are there just to make up numbers: such is the fate of Uche for example.
In reality there has never been much beyond our first eleven, no matter who the manager was.
