penrhyn bay owl Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Could we conceivably run out of Professional player's and be unable to field a team? If the injury list grew to say 20 plus any suspensions what action could the club or F.A for that matter take? Didn't Jos say yesterday he won't play the youngsters for consecutive games so decreasing the available numbers even more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I don't think the FA would do us any favours in calling off games ......if we have 11 fit players no matter what age then I think we'd be expected to turn up ......I think boro a few years back called off a game because on injuries and got hit with a fine and docked the 3 points so a precedence as been set . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 interesting scenario would think we could find enough players out of contract to sign temporarily to complete the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope nothing will happen we’d have to use juniors etc look at the unfortunate plane crash when Man Utd had years ago they had to find a team and won us 3-0 if remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Think we would have to apply to the FA or whomever and get special dispensation to sign a couple of loan players. Surprised we are not looking into getting in free agents unless the Chansiri piggy bank has run dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could even sign Eric Cantona up (sure he's currently a free agent) and get to see if he's any good on grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Boro were relegated due to that deduction. They would have been better putting out a team of youth players and getting tonked 20-0.

This is why professional football teams have a development squad to develop players for the first team. It is just us that do not understand the concept of it. I am hoping young Stobbs get a chance tomorrow off the bad of scoring and creating the other goal from the game on Tuesday for the development squad.
