Full backs (3)
Donacien, Davis and KVY
Centre backs (4)
Woolf, Burgess, Edmundson and Keogh
Centre mids (2)
Morsy, Humphreys
Attacking midfielders/wide players (4)
Chaplin, Edwards, Burns, Jackson
Strikers (2)
Ladapo, Ahadme
So one of Chirewa, Armin or Siziba will be on the bench on Friday night.....
Plus unless the scans or recoveries from Leigh and Camara go well - we could be like this until Xmas time really - going to be some serious miles clocked up by Morsy, Humphreys, Chaplin, Burns and Ladapo in the midfield and forward positions with presumably Jackson and Edwards rotating and Ahadme just lightening the load for Ladapo as and when he can |  |

Depending on Camara's scan, i think it would be wise to recall both Harper and El Miz.
There will be a real glut of fixtures over the festive period and we cannot expect Humphreys and Morsey to clock up back to back 90s.
Do we have recall options on them? |  | | |

I'm not quite sure how we've managed to end up this light despite having the biggest squad in the league. |  |

Probably because 15 fit outfield players is without turning to inexperienced academy players even when we are suffering an injury crisis. I suspect most other teams have already been playing less experienced players or at least having them on their benches. |  |

Not allowed outside of transfer windows. |
In that case, it's a real concern. Even if Camara is injury free, he's looked miles of the pace in recent games. | | | |

The rules do not allow us to recall players on season-long loans outside of the transfer window (EFL Rule 6 Para 56.1.2). So they wouldn't be available over Christmas anyway. |  |

Cheers Joe, interesting to see it spelt out. There’s no harm in a couple of the youngsters filling in occasionally, but we really can’t afford any more injuries can we.l? Luckily we’ve only 1 game per week until the 26th Dec. It’ll be the run of games on 26th/29th/2nd that’ll be the test, including a couple of tricky away trips to Pompey & Lincoln. |  |

That's still a pretty strong team and bench for League One. Plus within the next few weeks we can expect some of the first wave of injuries to be returning to the squad. | |

I wonder if Morris and Yengi will be considered as 1st teamers. I'm guessing they might be back training soon if not already but can't be registered until January. | | | |

Absolutely, we are talking about the 18th man in the squad here - when some teams at this level don't fill their bench or have a load of kids on it from inferior academies.
I think just the frustration is we have so many injuries in the same positions really - defensively we are totally covered but in the 6 roles ahead of the back 4 we have 8 players to cover it and we are going to need to ride those players through the next 5 weeks/7 games. | |

You'd hope Aluko and Evans will be back by then and be fit enough to make the bench. | | | |

KMc didn't say Camara was set for a scan, just a review of his injury as he was still feeling it. May well come to a scan, of course, just that it wasn't mentioned, at least in the press conference anyway. |  | | |

In a way it's almost less than that because 4 of the outfield players are in a position (centre back) where you don't really rotate or substitute for stamina reasons.
Wouldn't be surprised if we go with 2 kids on the bench rather than having all four centre backs in the matchday squad. |  |

Probably a function of the way we play at the front (energetic maneuvering, taking on packed defences) and the fact that opponents get frustrated and tackle heavily. Whereas our defenders are often left alone to pass the ball around calmly. | |

If McKenna sees Woolf as emergency cover in central midfield, I am sure he will have all four of them in there. Our flexibility with systems allows for some leeway there too. I am sure McKenna will only put youngsters in if he thinks they are ready. | |

Walton
Donacien Woolfenden Burgess Davis
Burns Morsy Humphreys
Chaplin Edwards
Ladapo
Subs: Hladky, Ahadme, Edmundson, Keogh, KVY, Jackson, Armin
I mean that's not a bad line up still, but certainly there isn't much wiggle room in terms of future injuries / suspensions. We're so reliant on Morsy staying fit. The sooner we can get Evans and Aluko back in contention in particular the better this will look. Leigh would only be cover anyway which KVY is capable of doing, we should probably forget TJJ for now and Camara needs to get himself right as he's looked off it when he's played. I would be tempted to recall El-Miz in Jan if we can, even with Evans back as he's got a history of injuries and firming up those midfield options and taking a bit of the pressure off Humphreys shoulders can only be a good thing.

I think McKenna is probably not as worried as many are, otherwise I think we would have seen fewer first eleven players against mighty Buxton.
Hopefully McKenna knows something about Evans and Aluko being back soon, and I would wager that he is more bullish on Camara being up to speed at least by the Petrborough game than many seem to be.
On paper it looks a little worrying, but we only have three games between now and Boxing Day. And fortunately we have the funds to be active in the transfer window.
Towards the start of the season I was wondering how we would keep Ball happy if he's going to be kept out by Morsy and Evans, but unfortunately now we seem to have the opposite problem. |  | | |

I should add that the silver lining in all of this looks to be Humphreys getting game time. Clearly we are overloading him and expecting a lot of him because needs must, but he's risen to it, and his stock has risen rapidly too. | | | |

There is only one extra fixture over the festive period this season.
Between now and the 14th January there are only six league fixtures so even with our injury problems we should be able to cope. | | | |

We also have at least one, hopefully two, games to reschedule in January due to still being in FA Cup. |  |

Some of our Summer signings were a bit of a gamble... Leigh, Ball and TJJ, have all had long term injuries in the past. Plus we signed Camara who was injured on arrival.. Evans was only just back from being sidelined for a while and was probably going to be out at some point in the season.. The recovery timespan on Aluko and Evans , is just bad luck. As was Gas's injury.
Lets not also forget, we had Jackson and Edwards out with quite serious injuries, back end of last season. Might be why KM has been reluctant to throw Edwards into a heavy work load, so far, this season? Let's hope neither have any recurrence, during, what could be, a really heavy period next month or so...
So, yeah, on paper our squad looked really strong and deep after the Summer window. But realistically, we signed one or two "crocks". And it's looking like it's back fired a bit.
Although, I doubt anyone would have expected so many long term injuries at once. |  | | |

I doubt there is many professional footballers that don’t have 1 long term past injury, they were all apart from Camera fit for months.p, and Camera has played Lenny in his career with minimal issues. |  |
