Honestly? blimey. 42 games and only 12 players used?

We are still 11th 🤭
How to measure tho? Teams ability? finishing place in the table? consistency? Trophy?
I'm sure we will know at the end of the season if this squad is the best team ever 😅

Teams from the seventies onwards playing 42 games with 12 men squads is often mentioned. I guess the question is what was the average length of a footballer's career then and now?
Were they being flogged to death like the Grand National horse?
Are today's players having a longer careers as they are managed better? I guess you also have to factor in more protection from career threatening tackles, better pitches diets etc.
