Last season I edited and removed posts once they'd been up a while with exceptions made for posts of ongoing interest and information,  in order to keep the thread short with the squads always on the front and only page.

This season I will instead move posts unedited to this thread wewilljourneyon.proboards.com/thread/1601/moved-comments-squad-sticky but again only after they have been up for a while,  hope you understand the reasoning.

Dan Ivery has an excellent squad spreadsheet here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRHABs4GSjJdnzW9ZXRk3J87kiKXr7B4oMiFirxCrbxVbbNwVDQWmS0rPVWZm1wbQHYkfNnF3MP0bzh/pubhtml

Article on younger squads and the difficulties especially physically in breaking through to the first team from Dan.

I'm very picky about what posts are allowed permanency on this thread,  this one qualifies.  I implore you all to read it,  especially those who frequently suggest young players be given a first team opportunity.  The coaches see them day in day out,  99.9% of the time if they were ready they'd know before fans suggested it.
