At least one of those will call him a dinosaur not fit for modern football.
Then when we beat Hartlepool it'll be because they were poor.
stop being negative
You'll be one of the dozen.

If we lose, the 'we don't have any strikers or defenders' argument will rear its head.
If we win, it's deathly quiet and suddenly not a peep of having enough strikers or defenders.

Wing back (both sides) we've got Macca and Gordon.
Centre back we have Hewitt, Harbottle, Hawkins, Perch and O'Toole.
It's not enough. Unless we can go injury free for the rest of the season.

I suspect if there’s a defensive injury crisis like you suggest, we’ll just switch to a four.

We didn't at Doncaster after Perch was injured. Don't forget, this "crisis" has already happened thankfully it was only for a short period and the game being called off helped too. Not sure how long we'll get away with it for, hopefully until January! Gazza and Yorkie are, of course, right and are far from the only ones to have called for the signing of a CB prior to the window closing.

Probably. Or we go to macca at CB, or Bowery or even Gordon at CB and Bowery at RWB. Neither I'm fully comfortable with.
Either way 3 injuries in defence and we've got a crisis. Worst case is Gordon, Macca and a Hewitt (because Hewitt has covered wing back).. What team do we go with. Assuming that the team that started Saturday is our strongest XI (I know people's strongest XI is different, imo it is our strongest so far this season). We have already had Gordon, O’Toole and Perch. And while we survived. Bowery at RWB still made too many errors and poor backpass es nearly cost us if it wasn't for Pym.
Wallace was billed as a backup to Macca and when Macca got injured he played midfield. So does he still count?

Would be an interesting one. In your worse case scenario I would guess Bowery and Akins/Lapslie at wing backs with Swan coming in up front, or Bowery right back and Perch left back.

Hewitt I rate at RB and as a RCB, jury out on wing back but is a decent enough option there (again though. If he's covering wing back we lose a CB. Limiting our centre back options.
If 2 or 3 injuries means he's got to swap formation then you didn't have enough players for the formation to begin with. That's why I think we need a LWB and a CB or RWB if possible.

Playing catch up makes top 3 very difficult. We have done very well last couple of games without him, but still lack a bit of cutting edge without him. He was certainly a miss v Carlisle. Half time on Saturday should have been 0-5. A fluke or deflection from Gillingham could have changed things and there are going to be much tougher tests than them coming up.
broomo wrote:Controversial opinion time again.
Oatesy probably had a worse start to the season than any other first team player.
He missed chances, his hold up play was none existent and he invariably made the wrong decision when running with the ball at his feet. He was nowhere near his best, at his best he's unplayable.
He's without doubt our most exciting attacker to watch and I'll be buzzing to have him back fit and strong but he should have won the Orient game for us on chances alone.

We should not be putting up such threads so early as it smacks of entitlement imo.
