I don't think we have a thin squad at all.
The starting XI at Tynecastle tonight is arguably our strongest side.
We then have Van Zanten, Grainger, Wylde & Dilo on the bench plus McLean & Teale injured & Bahoken. That is a first team squad of 18 players.
I remember when Dundee United won the league with a first team squad of literally just 12 players.
