Exactly, they're part of a squad. Wilder always maintains that it's not about the first XI, it's about the squad.I think the key point is none of them are a waste.
The people complaining about wasting our money on fringe players are the same people who would complain that we don't have adequate backup in a potential injury crisis. We're fortunate that we haven't had to use players like Rodwell, Morrison, Jagielka, Zivkovic, etc. - it's a symptom of our fantastic injury record.
If anyone has watched the behind the scenes in the Norwich game, all the players that weren't involved in the squad were there - Kieron Freeman, Zivkovic etc, to form a guard of honour almost and shake hands, hi-5 or whatever with the first XI as they ran out for the match.
