Holding on to top spot (last five 5th tier seasons)

Yeah we are a little thin, but we do have certain players that can play in a couple of different positions if needed.

Baj, Francis & Chicks could fill in at the back, and Ruben can play further up if required.

Not ideal, but at least we have some flexibility in the squad if it comes to it.

A concern I have is whether we can continue with the intensive approach without causing injury to players. Hopefully the science and the physio staff are able to keep on top of that but I'd expect more problems such as JOB has had with muscle tears etc. especially as the season goes on and the winter time with heavier pitches. Fingers crossed that the concerns are unfounded.

Let's see how things pan out eh. Baldwin & Taylor appear to be back in training, so that leaves us with just o'b out for a period.

As you say, fingers crossed we can navigate winter without too many injuries.
