Hartley out injured for 3 months

Hartley got injured vs Charlton but managed to finish the game. His foot injury has been checked and unfortunately, he should be out injured for 3 months. Unfortunately the club have not said what is wrong with the foot and why it will take as a long as 3 months to recover.

All of a sudden, we look rather thin on the ground with players who are available for selection.

Keepers:
Puddy
Roos

Defenders:
Leadbitter
J Clarke
Lockyer
McChrystal
Brown

Midfielders:
O Clarke
Lines
Sinclair
Mansell
Lawrence

Wingers:
Montano
Bodin
Moore

Strikers:
Harrison
Taylor
Easter
Gaffney
James


Keepers aint good enough.
Only 5 defenders available so if DC plays 3 at the back using Brown and Leadbitter as wing backs, we have no available cover in defence if someone gets injured/suspended.
I dont think Sinclair, Mansell and Lawrence are not good enough in CM.
Apart from Taylor, our other strikers dont score enough goals and Taylor could be off this month as he seems to be hot property!

DC needs to bring in a solid keeper and defenders ASAP. Another CM or 2 would be helpful and a striker who can find the net alongside Taylor.

DC got a lot of work to do and I expect these signings to come in ASAP because if its at the end of this month then we will be wasting 4 games and could lose out on 12 points.

 

Sorry old timer. I didnt see your thread when I went to make this thread

My apologies

 

CJS I think I posted it as the new post sign came up yours was ahead of mine

 

Great minds think a like hey

 

McChrystal's a good leader and good in the air. I've been disappointed with Hartley from a defensive point of view. There's no point in having a centre back who grabs a few goals if we're leaking them at the other end. We obviously need cover, but I really hope McChystal steps up to the plate and show's us what's been missing.
