On the eve of the 2014/15 season, Lee Sinnott commented:
“The aim was a 19-man group with a nice average age about them and that is what we have achieved.”
Mike Williams retires owing to injury: 18.
Greg Wilkinson is loaned out to Stockport County: 17.
There are no new recruits/replacements.
Before yesterday's game at Bath City:
Sean Williams is suspended: 16.
Peter Cavanagh is injured: 15.
So, for yesterday's important FA Trophy tie, the management team had a meagre total of 15 players to select from, two of whom are goalkeepers and another, Gillespie, whose contribution this season has, alas, been utterly negligible.
I do fear that our 'squad' is looking a trifle threadbare.....and we still face a few tricky assignments yet before we can all rest easy.
God help us if Reeves were to get injured.
