Re: Times We Struggled to Find 11 Players

Cotterill got the strategy right to focus on bringing in a few players of higher ability.

If we'd gone for more players but lower quality we could have been relegated.

If we'd suffered from lots of injuries it could have backfired. Fortunately it didn't and we were comfortable.
