Worrying times.
We now have 7 players injured.
Jatta - hopefully back next week but who knows.
Jodi - looked really bad but lets hope.
Edwards - not back till around Christmas
Robertson & Scott - coming along but probably going to be another couple of weeks or so.
McDonald & Ness - coming along but a bit further behind.
We have 24 outfield players and 2 of them are very young lads.
That leaves SM with just 17 to choose from. Whoever convinced Richard Montague and the board to have a larger squad this season did a good job or else we would really be in it.
We are all going to have to be a understanding and get behind whoever is on the pitch. ( Even if it is Grant, Chicksen, Cundy or whoever some people choose to berate from time to time )
I was thinking about this last night - we do seem to have had more than our fair share already this season. I think we missed the physical presence of AJ, Robertson and, to a lesser extent, Edwards yesterday. It’s going to be a while before we get everyone available, though.
I expect to see a few of the kids playing on Tuesday, plus the likes of Cundy, Gordon, Austin, Chicksen and whoever we can find to play up front (Stone?).
4 or 5 players who'd start too, bound to effect our game. It's basically becoming a big problem, I'd say. Definitely missing some physicality in midfield and up front.
Luckily we've got a cup game to stress test the squad, and hopefully a league game that we'll be able to fudge through.
I'd probably start Brown ahead of Stone up front, lol. Thought he looked eager to make a difference the times he's come on. Am I the only one who think he looks like he might suddenly break free from his baggage and kick on?
Jodi has been posting on X today gives me hope his injury isn’t as bad as feared
