Are we actually weaker ?

We started 05/06 with 19 outfield players, three ?keepers and four kids (including another bloody 'keeper).
During last season ML-J, Shacks, Ward, Leon, Safri, Marney, Thorne & Jarvis all missed 15 games or more (mostly through injuries).

Today we have 20 outfield players, 2 'keepers and three kids who have yet to make their debut. And only two players unavailable through injury.

If Earnie & Drury were crocked so would we be; but if West Brom lost Hartson & Curtis Davis I expect it would hurt them equally badly.
