Two to Three injuries from Relegation

Tue Sep 01, 2026 5:36 pm

If we lost Robertson, Rubin and Salech we’d be stuffed.

Even losing just Salech like last season would be a nightmare, old Robbo or Isaac who continues to not break through. Lost Salech for three months last year.

If we lose Robertson who steps in there, the new guy or Turnbull who was awful against Norwich reserves.

We need to be very lucky with injuries to survive unless we magic up a few in the next few hours!

I completely agree, if Robertson goes down, we either play Bielik there, who hasn’t played 6 in 2 years or we play Turnbull - this is worse than last year.

We are even more exposed up front without Kellyman.. if Salech goes down we are reliant on Robbo or Issac Davies which BBM didn’t trust in league one

Take away Lincolns phenomenal run in, Our injuries and lack of depth cost us the league title.

Could cost us our position in the league this campaign.

Agree with you also guys.

If every player stays fit, based on the weekends performance, we'll probably be OK.

We lose the likes of Colwill and Salech again though long term and we are in trouble. Kellyman last year was so important when we lost those 2 coz he carried us through it. The goals kept coming from him playing the 10 and him playing upfront. He's not here to bail us out this year (and we are in a very strong championship as opposed to a weak league 1). We underestimate how important he was to us winning automatic promotion. I'm not sure Moylan would have quite the same effect.

It's quite reckless to go with this squad after what happened 2 years ago.
