What big squad now Roberts has gone 35 players 7 are loanees and 9 youngsters that leaves a huge 19 man squad 3 of which are over 30 and nearing the end of their careers. The 3 Chelsea loanees are all I believe on more money than our biggest earner. We have achieved this season what no Stanley fan would have dreamed of 1 bad display and we are suddenly not good enough, the academy has produced Savin and Sykes both regulars, hopefully some more will make it and the season is far from over yet.
