    This seems bigger news to me:

    FULL STRENGTH TEAMS

    Alongside voting in the changes to the transfer window, Clubs also adopted new policy guidance in regard to what constitutes a ‘full strength’ team.

    Following the widespread attention the matter of team selection received in the closing weeks of the 2016/17 season, it was agreed the EFL would work up a policy to determine what constitutes a ‘full strength’ team to remove any ambiguity and further potential reputational damage to the EFL and its competitions.

    Today, Clubs supported the implementation of guidance on the following basis: ‘for any League match played on or after the 4th Thursday in March (including Season 2017/18), any team sheet for a League game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the League match before.’

    In the event any Club breaches the threshold, they may be charged with a breach of Regulation 24 and the matter will be referred to a Disciplinary Commission.

    Im not sure i agree with this. Surely a club should be able to pick any player that they employ for any match , also I think it will impact on young footballers game time .

    The January transfer window is a funny one . Last year we were dreading it but this year we were desperate for it .

    Strange one , as people are saying we have a squad which is far too big , but in both the summer & january windows were screaming for more & more signings . I would like to see a system introduced where you were only allowed to have a squad of twenty players per club , plus academy players . If a player was paid up , or ruled out for the season through injury , then these could be replaced at any time by signing out of contract players or swap deals which kept the respective squads to a maximum of 20 players

    Our demise last season was due to mismanagement off the field. Had we been proactive then we wouldn’t have been in a position where the likes of Winnall, Bree and Hourihane were out of contract in the summer.

    It's a good thought but maybe it would be detrimental to the young uns coming through .

    You seem to ignore the fact all 3 didn’t want to sign new contracts.

    I seem to recall that the contract situation wasn’t addressed until both Winnall and Hourihane were performing well in the Championship and had obvious suitors elsewhere.

    They would have done if we'd offered them new improved long contracts in that summer or even after Wembley when there was a feel good factor .

    That’s pure guesswork. The fact is that we didn’t attempt to offer terms. We were far too reactive again and were thoroughly found out when other clubs showed an interest.

    I would have thought opposite , with only a squad of twenty seniors & also the use of academy players , the fact that a match day squad is 18 players , therefore some of these academy lads would be required week in & week out , allowing for injuries & suspensions within your 20 seniors
