That was the big gamble with Roberts. We all knew when we signed him. Law is forever picking up injuries so he’s no better.
Before people start chipping in with “it’s not their fault, they don’t ask to get injured”, I already know that but at the end of the day we can’t afford to have players on the books who are nearly always injured.
Let’s be honest the squad is a great squad of players for this level but we lack any real depth. Realistically we need another striker and another wide player in addition to recalling Sembie Ferris to bulk the squad out but as we all know we’re not in a financial position to do that.
If it’s one thing that will screw us over it will be the lack of squad depth compounded by the transfer embargo. Losing Smith wasn’t great but made a hell of a lot worse with having 2 sick note wide players on the books.
I dread to think what we’ll do if one of the only 2 strikers we have are out injured for any length of time.
