That's a good point. I've no doubt we will hit the skids at some point in the season, but you really want to avoid it in this run with so many points up for grabs. It would be some kind of miracle before Christmas if docherty remained fit enough to contribute in this glut of games, we are going to have to utilise the squad/subbies to it's maximum. Guys like odada might get a start somewhere, going to be a big shift for like of the wing backs however, and up top it looks incredibly light with moult Injured and just dalby and van de sande unless the manager is considering stirton at any point.
