Does anyone know why we only name six substitutes for every game? Noticed it earlier in the season and assumed it was because we had too many injuries, but as far as I remember it has been the case for every single game this campaign. Is it some sort of weird loophole we're trying to take advantage of, or an attempt to avoid paying too many unused sub bonuses?

I think it’s because you’re supposed to have at least 1 player in the match day squad who’s come through the youth system . We can’t as we haven’t got one.

Yes they must have been in the youth system no less than 3 years too so if we stay in the league we will have just 6 subs for the short and medium term at least

Ah right, that makes sense. I mean it's a mad rule. No reason why every club should have a youth system as there's nowhere near enough jobs in football to go around, but if that's the rule then fine.
I'm not sure it's three years. I seem to recall it's a player in the match day squad who was at the club a year before his eighteenth birthday.
I reckon we should sign Harry Anderson from Lincoln, good player who fits the bill

Hmmm wouldn’t we have Brian Galach on the bench as number 7 then? There must some kind of duration qualification too
Sorry, my bad. The player has to be at the club for a year before he turns 18. Brian hasn't been at the club for a year yet so doesn't count.
It's the same set of regulations that means the most we will ever get for a young player we train up is 50k. Hence there's no point in having a half baked youth scheme any more. Full academy or forget it.

Well done Jim i obviously got my wires crossed when reading this
April 7 – English Football League (EFL) teams will have to increase the minimum number of home-grown players in their match-day squads from next season and from 2018-19 will have to make way for at least one ‘club-developed’ player.
The new EFL rule was passed following a meeting of the 72 EFL clubs and is designed to encourage a pipeline of English talent into club first teams from the club’s own academy system.
It will also encourage clubs to focus on their own player development activity throughout their academy system and provide more opportunities for young players while they search for the players with the ability to make the quota meaningful.
Home-grown players are defined as players registered at a club in England or Wales for 36 months before their 21st birthday. The seven players must form part of the match-day starting 11 plus seven substitutes.
A club-developed player is defined as one registered with the club for at least a year before the end of his under-19 season
“I am confident that this decision will have a positive and lasting impact,” said EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey.
“It is imperative that we provide young players not only with a platform, but also with the belief that opportunities will be made available to progress from youth to senior football.”

Interesting that, which national team you are qualified for, does not form part of the "home-grown" equation.
Suits us with BG, but with England having achieved youth & related success at international tournaments, wasn't one of the main intentions to give some of those players greater opportunity at their clubs...(?)
