What's happened to Carlos?

[RapidShrimp]

From the Bolton thread:

Just think injuries and suspensions could catch up with us

Think we are down to 11 starters and 5 on bench for next week

Denny wasn’t in today’s squad but is still fit. I think this is how it looks:
Letheren
Mellor
Hendrie
KP
Lavelle
Davis
Slew
Toums
Cole
Wildig
CMG
Halstead
Kenyon
Lyons
O’Sully
A-Jay
Pringle
McAlinden
Denny
Cooney
Gibson
Price
Songo’o

So... Mellor, Gibson, Slew, O’Sully, Wildig, A-Jay and CMG all out? And I thought Derek said Wildig was back fit and Gibson was being assessed? A bluff from Derek?

Where is mendes gomes, not a good time to be without our most influential player..

[black morse]

Don't panic Mr Mannering!!!!!

[Redalert1970]

Very worrying... Unless Derek is resting players because he thinks Walsall are there for the taking

That would be too risky....to not even have CMG on the bench. Unless agreement has already been reached on his sale on condition he doesn't get injured!

[fulwoodshrimp]

Perhaps DA is resigned to us being in the play-offs and is saving CMG for them?

Possibly resting 1 of 2 players for a full strength 11 for the final game and possible play-offs.

[black morse]

Anyone else really worried by this?

I like your wishful thinking, but there’s no way he’s resting anyone. At this stage of the season, having everyone at your disposal is crucial, and even if you do rest CMG, which hasn’t happened at all this season (and he’s been very injury-free up to now!), you’d at least have them on the bench. At points this season, Derek has stuck with the same XI (or one change here and there) for 5 or 6 Saturday-Tuesdays in a row, so with no Tuesday games in this period, and our excellent stamina, it’s got to be forced absences.

[marky No.1]

Yes, the bench is half empty, rather they were resting sitting on it

[RapidShrimp]

The lack of options off the bench is concerning! However the XI is still very high quality, albeit without our main man.

[Redalert1970]

If Forest Green and Exeter both draw or lose today we will be guaranteed play offs

Big afternoon coming up that's for sure

[Westgate Wanderer]

Is this our starting line-up in League One next season??

[Redalert1970]

Walsall have strong line up as well

We need to score 1st in my opinion

In my opinion, if we score more than Walsall we’ll win.

Are you sure??

[Redalert1970]

Let's just see what the afternoon brings

We are 4th top not 2nd bottom so not doom and gloom

Absolutely, and whatever happens it's been an amazing season. COYS

It’s a tough call to make, but I have a suspicion we’ll get the 3 points if we do that!

[Andy D]

got a feeling Derek Adams had dropped CMG maybe because he's trying to force away a move this summer or something?

either way McAlinden upfront with Stockton, lets ave it!!

[jbc.shrimp]

As Freeze has said, no comms today. So is it only Sky sports for any info ?

DA Just said on radio accy that CMG is injured along with Wildig and Gibson

Ta!

[Bare bum]

All speculation at the moment. I think the resilience of our key players this season has been extraordinary. Looks to me like we just have a build up of knocks and injuries. I hope it's nothing more.
