Was worried about the amount of Brits we have

But I think we're alright.

One keeper out of Remi and McGovern.
Hanley, Lewis, Husband in defence. (Can't see Martin or Raggett being involved)
Jarvis, Marshall, McLean, Godfrey, Thompson and Cantwell in Mid.
Morris and Rhodes as Forwards.

By my calculations that's 13 players (currently 11) that should be around the first team. We'd have to have a lot of injuries for Home Grown Regulations to be an issue. And worse case scenario we have the academy (e.g. Aarons).

We should meet the home grown requirements fine.

- By the way "Brits" aren't all home grown as I understand the rule. Welsh are, Scottish are (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:30:17
  - Yeah, I missunderstood the rules. (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 12:38:41
    - No, McLean is also not home grown. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 13:04:57
      - Good point. For some reason I always forget about McLean (n/m) (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 14:39:43
- Jarvis abs Morris and possibly Cantwell won’t be here!! (n/m) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jul 23, 12:27:23
  - I assume Jarvis will be here (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 13:01:27
    - Morris also long term injured so I hear. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 13:05:19
- The issue is more about the strength of the bench, not the starting lineups. I think we (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:25:47
  - Krul would count as home grown I believe? (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jul 23, 12:38:47
    - Krul listed as HG on the PL site (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 23, 13:49:27

      - Sorry 2005 (n/m) (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 12:44:45
    - He might indeed! Shall have a look... (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:40:43
      - Yes good spot! I think he will because he was 21 in 2009, and was at Newcastle from 2005! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:41:46
        
        Fantastic news (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 12:46:29
        
        It does help as long as Matthews stays and he and Krul are #1 and #2. Might still (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 13:04:38
  - I thought he was Northern Ireland? (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 12:28:11
    - He is, but spent the years before his 21st in Scotland. Eric Dier would not be home grown (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:32:35
      - Got it. Completely missunderstood the rules (n/m) (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 12:37:30
