The squad has hardly changed recently. There have been one or two players coming and go in the last year 18 months but the bulk of it is the same. Hudson built depth where we needed it. Agree about Ingham playing in these bigger games but its good to have depth there. A few years ago we had no cover for our wing backs. We now have a plethora. Same goes for centre backs and DM. Quality isn't great but we have options. 

You would be mad as a national team coach not to test players in your squad.

I think we have more players who have international experience, I'm not sure that's the same as having "depth" 

Ha - was just about to say that very thing, depth implies that we have people able to push incumbents or take their place through injury or lack of form and perform capably.

You just know Ingham is going to start at RB v Peru despite looking hopelessly exposed in the game's he played.
