bs3 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 There are fans on twitter claiming we have only 13 fit players for Saturday , if this is true this must be a real low point in the clubs history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. At least we'll get to see some new faces in the team. SC will be forced into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkRed! Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Based on the current situation, this must be right. Wagstaff, Agard, Williams, Baker are either injured or not considered fit. Thus, with 4 loans also gone, we must be down to bear bones. Unacceptable, particularly as we have 2 huge home games coming up. Cant really believe what has happened.....

GrahamC Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 And they know how? We currently have 18 players, though El-Abd is cup tied. Assuming Williams is out (seeing he missed the last game) and Baker and even Freeman (who both went off) are too, that still leaves 15. Pathetic, but not 13.

It was said last Saturday that Agard and Wagstaff, had only trained for a day after their recent injuries so, were just filling the bench but were in no shape to play.

sadlybrokered Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Unfortunately this is actually right... We have a squad of 18 players, 4 of which are injured (Baker, Williams, Wagstaff and Agard) Included in that 18 is El-Abd whether or not he's been recalled I don't know, but he's cup tied anyway Which leaves us with 13, absolute shambles! How have we messed up this bad?! Only city could royally **** something up this bad after what we accomplished last season! Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Doesn't matter, we normally play 89 minutes with 11 anyway so surely we can sell two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just going to throw it out there. The number of players we have available in our first team squad is nearly half the number of players that are currently out on loan from Chelsea. Shambolic.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 This shambolic situation reminds me how we meekly let Greg Cunningham sign for a rival simply because he wanted to go. All very nice of the club, but at what point do you put the club above the individual? How critical did the situation have to get? With Williams playing plenty of games at LWB I'm certain that, in hindsight, Cunningham would have got plenty of game time this season. The guy was under contract and was paid a lot of money - would it have been so unreasonable to expect him to have honoured that contract? Sure, Cunningham got his move, but what good did it do the club? We sanctioned his departure without any replacement lined up. It's this sort of decision making that makes no sense to me. Like I said, shambolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 At least we might get to see Waggers in a City shirt.. been a while.. he may end up getting the winner at the Hawthorns with a 30 yard screamer... always look on the bright side of life me babbers ... he does have a sweet shot on him does our Waggers.

man in the middle Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 we are truly down to the bones. The problem is SC like's to have a small group of players put with that a cheap skate board of directors trying to run a championship club on a league 1 Budget and we find ourselves in this position now. Call off the game and give the win to our opponents city are unable to field a team when Saturday comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 isn't it normally prudent to have two players for every position? So we are at least 6 short in the squad atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
