On another forum someone asks how many players we've used this season as it's a cheat way to manage using so many players, I looked on http://swindon-town-fc.co.uk/ and counted about 33 to 34 we've used this season, not as many as i thought.

Don't think it's something that can really be used as a criticism of us 'cheating' our way to the top of the division. Hasn't worked out that way for Northampton (45 players), Daggers (41) or Bradford (40) has it?

The interesting bit is how many of those players are still with us. A good percentage have been shipped out, or it appears are no longer first or even second choice players.

You usually associate the successful clubs with using a smaller amount of players - consistency in selection quite often results in a successful run at this level (a bit different at the top of the Prem obviously where they can afford a huge squad of internationals). I guess Cheltenham being at the bottom of this list is an example of this. Its usually the clubs struggling at the bottom that use more players - how many did we use in our Premiership season ?

Years ago loan players were for a month or 3 months if they did well and you would only have 1 or 2 at a time. Most clubs have a revolving door of loan players these days

If I remember correctly in one of the seasons in which we won the play-off final we had a run of approx 15-20 games where we fielded the same starting XI.
Might be total bollocks but if true would suggest that having a settled team has its advantages.

38 according to the FL website http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalPlayersUsed/0,,10794~201126,00.htmlBy no means the most in the league, and only 3 more than Crawley and 5 more than Southend and Poxford. Don't think it's something that can really be used as a criticism of us 'cheating' our way to the top of the division. Hasn't worked out that way for Northampton (45 players), Daggers (41) or Bradford (40) has it? Cheers

It was 89-90 and it was around 20 games in a row under Ardiles, that was the days of 2 subs as well. Usually Shaun Close and one other (Cornwell, Galvin, Simpson etc).

Shaun Close - ah, that was a player (not) - couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo
Worst forward since Roy Greenwood
