Slightly devils advocate here but…. 
Whose choice is it to go with a smaller squad? 
We clearly have an overall wage cap which we’re working to. 
Do we go with a small squad, with well paid older players, and rely upon the academy if we need to add numbers. 
Or do we not pay the high wages to a number of older pro’s and instead sign a larger but younger squad, on lower wages per head, and not have to call upon 18 year olds who have no place in a championship squad?
 

As said - I’m being a tad devils advocate here, but ultimately, we’ve worked to a budget and decided to go with a small squad 

It was Pearson’s but “smaller squad” certainly didn’t mean that he expected to make only one loan signing after we got £25m for Alex Scott.

He didn’t want a situation where we pay the likes of Gilmartin, Watkins & Palmer not to play.

The injury situation does require explanation because it is killing us, but his version of a smaller squad probably wasn’t just 17 senior professionals & a collection of U21s.

We are two light.
